……in continuation to my earlier comment, it is added that when we engage in talks with our people, both in country or abroad, it certainly exhibits our sincerity to find solutions to our own problems/issues and of course, our commitment to exercise democracy in real terms And we get worldwide admiration for such initiatives…..
Your point is well taken, but in my humble opinion, “our people” does not include foreign nationals, having citizenship of other countries, irrespective of whether they might have once been citizens of India— if they are aiming to disintegrate our nation.
…….India during the last 3-4 decades has inherited an administrative acumen of ignoring its domestic problems as a sort of adopting a policy….matters die its death in due course of time….!! It has rather boomeranged upon us as most of these problems have taken international colour. Even here too, we remain adamant to sidetrack these and meanwhile the magnitude of these problems keep rising/increasing much to our discomfort. Better would be to consider the problems right ON FACE itself here in country and abroad. If USA authorities can talk to so called separatists, who stops us to talk to them. Unwillingness on our part will further escalate the existing situation AND in very near future, it can be feared that if we continue to adopt almost non-responsive attitude to our own internal problems , our country’s problems may also be heard at international platforms…
The fact of the matter is that 90% of the foreign policy gestures of most countries are addressing domestic concerns. Whether it is USA, or India or any other country.
Thanks for putting up a meticulous account of the potential repercussions arising out of a meeting of US NSC officials with the prominent Sikh organizations, hours before the Indian PM’s visit to US.
Let’s hope this won’t have any major impact on the relations and policies of both nations 🙏
