India's assets as one of the pillars of a multipolar world include location and geography, size (population and market), and capabilities (technology and manufacture). For Modi's voters or voters of his party, it is important to improve the domestic economy and control the population growth. A stronger domestic economy would also help to lessen the dependence on exporting to the West. USA wants to control or manipulate India because of mostly its geolocation. As long as the Indian people love their country, Americans cannot take away that advantage. My 2-cent advice is do not hire anyone who graduated from the London Economics School.

"...the US’ true intentions as revealed by the Khalistan issue and the Bangladeshi coup."

Perhaps they might be wise to consider similarities between their 'Delhi-designated terrorist-separatist' and yet another colour revolution, so wilfully-longed for by the perpetrators, using crimes against humanity and perceived genocide against the Uyghur population as the pretext, however fanciful, for grounds. The thin edge of a wedge?

"...hoping that the US’ games will soon end."

What, you mean like a leopard might change its spots?

"It now appears as though there’s much more to this..."

Any colour you like (as long as we get to choose it)!

"...a trend towards more active containment."

Colours are SO old hat. What should we call the new-and-improved revolutions? How about an 'NGO revolution', 'Soros Revolution'; how about 'Woke Revolution'?

The west has no good intentions with India.

India is going to feel the bit sharper in its mouth as a BRICS participant speaking for multipolarity, trade deals with Russia, trade agreements in currencies other than U$D, trade corridor with Russia, etc.

But surely Modi knows this. None of the BRICS leaders are naive about U$a, its intentions, tactics or ruthlessness. Why is India feeling emboldened? What agreements have been made? There also must be some calibration as to the rate U$a is weakening. The world seems to be waiting patiently for the fall of the bully, partly from its own instability, partly to a tank on the rug under it.
