How PM Modi can get out of Nehru Nehru on the world scene

I refer to this Gaga diplomacy: in the style of Lady Gaga, self-assured, shamelessly and to rewrite history. Who knows? By 2026, India could take an arc like the best angel and a Vishwaguru for all the seasons if we play properly.

Jawaharlal Nehru sent 1,000 soldiers to Korea in 1953. It was a newly independent young India, playing the role of peace-white under the United Nations flag. It's time for India to transform this whisper into roar. Imagine 5,000 Indian peacekeepers stabilizing the bloodiest conflicts since the Second World War.

How is it? Do not forget the advice of Vijayalakshmi Pandit at the United Nations General Assembly: the more we sweat in peace, the less we bleed at war. Today, it is time to transform this slogan into a reality where Indias Peacekeepers remains big than ever. We don't dream of any longer, India offers big. It's time to get out of Nehru Nehru, and PM Modi can do it. While peace talks in Riyadh continue, 5,000 Indian troops, Gorkhas, Rajput Regiment, all detacted can be ready for a peacekeeping role.

Of course, US President Donald Trump is the Joker. He cut the help of Ukraine and pushes President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to speak. The Modis PM line should be: Donald, you are the king of the offer, let me help you get there with the India contribution. To this, I can imagine Trump, Swing Mid-Golf, when he publishes on Truth Social: Narendras My Guy, Peace Coming. Spoiler alert: this is not a joke.

India knows its way in Trump's heart. $ 10 billion in American LNG imports for Trumps Peace Nudge.

This is how sweat would begin. While the offensive of Spring Russias Stalls of mud, drones, Trump fatigue could twist their arms and peace talks can flower. A ceasefire could be sketched by July-it could perhaps be a 50-mile stamp. Then, in August, some 3,000 Indian peace soldiers landed the peacekeepers and the Tricolore plates. The quota could be set up to 5,000 in the fall. A Trumphant Trump was going to explode: I did that. Europe finances it at $ 1 billion from Macron and Starmer, Desperados for stability. X crown the agreement, the Trump-Gaga-Modi trio like the stars of 2025.

In November, the Ukraines hold a trembling peace. Indian doctors and schools dot the stamp. Indias glue, social media buzzes. The star of Modis rises while Nehrus Ghost fades, his star is more daring, larger, better. And he plays Trump correctly. Trump leads peace, India books it. It is a fanfaron of peace that can hang the world. In November, India became the act to be monitored. It is no longer opposed to risk. It can crush the party and own it.

Gaga diplomacy like Lady Gaga is a question of shock and substance. Say it on the mountain, in India. Let these peacekeeping movements be linked to the India Ethos Ahimsa and to unity in diversity. It is, after all, diplomacy with Swag. Look at my hands, no hands that the slogan captures it perfectly. This would mean that India loses its prudent shell and to make a calculated jump to prove that he is a global actor, not a spectator. A real atmosphere of Vishwaguru. The atmosphere without hand comes from the confidence that this would mean that the India does not rush, it is in balance.

This decision should be considered a commitment to last peace in Europe. It would be high, universal and difficult to challenge. This would mean that India is positioned as the adult in the room, ready to clean the waste. India would put a complaint as a guarantor of peace before the dust settled. He would have said to Europe, we took his back, in Russia, he would say, was still neutral and in the world in the world, presented himself with stability. It can prove its ability to look at the tensions of great power without flashing and that it has the chops to shape the results.

Meet in public with a declaration: India is ready to deploy peacebakers in Ukraine for humanitarian purposes and as border monitors, after the semester, once firearms will calm down, as part of a United Nations mandate or coalition, to ensure that peace continues. He will have to be firm on the intention, even if he maintains the vague details. Combine the blow with a nod to the India peacekeeping titles over the years (Congo, Sudan) to remind everyone that New Delhi is serious. He will have to reassure Russia that it is not a NATO scheme and launch Europe on co -financing: do you want security guarantees? Were your boots. Ukraine will also be in the lead: India has enough good will to rely. He could start small, some battalions for civil protection or monitoring of the ceasefire, associating it with technology (drones, surveillance) showing that our troops are not barrel fodder but a modern force. Our soldiers can adapt and deliver far from their home.

By 2026, Indias not only the player, he is the best angel and guru for all the seasons. Ukraines Peace have a moral India without rifles that mutate and kill, but more roses. Europe is grateful (Flow Fund), Russas Quiet (oil continues to come) and Trump has all the rights to boast. Peace is our Dharma, preaches India with a real cause. Narendra Modis India is Vishwaguru 2.0, more difficult and more tangible than Nehruvian India. The talks on permanent membership of the Security Council warm up.

This is not a strategic overcoming. Five thousand troops are large, but feasible India has sent contingents of 2,000,000 to UN missions since the 1950s. Europe pays, borders hold (China can only look, not sting). PM Modis Gaga Flair softens to glitter of calm Guru to dresses. He does not play the boss, just guide. The world South is completely won over, India is their voice, the bridge to the west. No imperial dreams, just ready to sweat, intelligent in the true definition of the word.

So India, play Gaga diplomacy and take an arc. India triumph calm resonates. It is no longer the small engine that could. This engine has exceeded the hill and the story will applaud. India can be the global maestro, daring, noisy, essential, the nation with a regular hand, ready to put boots on the ground.

Play a zinger in India. Sweet in peace, do not hide your light, be the best angel and the guru for all seasons, the world will take notes. Rewrite the script on what growing power can do in a polarized world. Gaga Diplomacy (withdraw, Lady Gaga) Book. Tilt yourself.
