External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar is winning the people over social media with his witty and sarcastic replies to his opponents. Just a few days after trolling Ramachandra Guha on Twitter, Jaishankar won praise on social media over witty response to the United States senator Lindsey Graham.
The minister was at a session at Munich Security Conference where United States senator Lindsey Graham said, “When it comes to Kashmir, I don’t know how it ends, but let’s make sure that two democracies will end it differently. And if you can prove that concept here, then I think it’s probably the best way to sell democracy.”
Jaishankar responded to this by saying, “Don’t worry, Senator. One democracy will settle it. And you know which one.”

For this, social media users applauded Jaishankar by saying that, he is bringing a boldness and humor in the boring world of diplomatic ecosystem. “EAM Jaishankar always gives savage replies. Kudos!” wrote another user.
The minister also said that United Nations is far less credible today than it used to be, “which is not surprising because when you think about it, there are not too many things which are 75 years old and still as good as they were”. “Clearly, there is something that needs to be done there.” He added that the world, including countries like United States and China, has turned more nationalistic.
Foreign minister was at the forefront of defending India’s position on the global platform after the abrogation of Article 370 from the legal status of Jammu & Kashmir and Citizen (Amendment) Bill. He maintained that, both of these ‘internal matter’ of India and the global community has no business to interfere in the internal matter of any sovereign country.
It must be noted that Dr. Jaishankar is among the most educated politicians and diplomats of the country. He comes from a family that has been very influential in security and strategic affairs of the country. His father, Krishnaswamy Subrahmanyam, a proponent of Realpolitik, was second director of New Delhi based Institute of Defense Studies and Analyses. Born to K Subramanyam, S Jaishankar was educated at Cambridge School Srinivaspuri and St Stephen’s College, New Delhi. He completed MA in Political Science and Ph.D. in International Relations from JNU, where he specialized in nuclear diplomacy.
He joined Indian Foreign Service in 1977, and has been High Commissioner to Singapore. He also served as Ambassador to China and United States. Jaishankar was appointed as Foreign Secretary of India in January 2015 by Modi government and retired after three year tenure at the post. Modi government made him Minister of External Affairs when it came to power with even greater majority in 2019.
