There is irony in Prime Minister Narendra
Modi’s concentration on Pakistani terrorism at the Goa Brics summit because the
more he dwelt on the theme, the more distant became India’s aspiration for a
world role, struggling as it seemed to be with a major neighbourhood problem.
And the pickings were slim in the form of an anodyne declaration. Of course,
everyone is against terrorism.Instead of taking advantage of a summit, that
included both Russia and China, New Delhi seemed to be hosting a South Asian
gathering, with a few outsiders, laudable as the goal of asking the Bangladeshi
and Myanmar leaders was. Thereby, India restricted the discussion of major world
issues.The one benefit of the conference was the bilateral talks between
President Vladimir Putin and Mr Modi to undertake an essential recalibration of
relations in a changing world, sharply brought home to New Delhi by Moscow
conducting the first-ever joint troop exercises with Pakistan on Pakistani soil.
