India has for centuries illuminated the world with “a ray of optimism” and has historically been acknowledged as the ‘Vishwa Guru.’ However, in the post-colonial era, the potential of the nation as the Vishwa Guru has been seriously discredited, owing to the established leftist ecosystem in its home turf. Evidently, with the change of regime in 2014, the previous notions of despotic imperialist attitudes softened with the renaissance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the helm of power.
Diplomacy and Dialogue: The Modi mantra for peace
The image of India changed on the global front under the leadership of PM Modi as the foreign policy became more ‘pro-active’ post 2014. Recently, the Russian President praised the ‘independent foreign policy’ of India, calling PM Modi a ‘true patriot.’
The statement highlighted the changed perspective of the global leaders towards India. It points out that the leaders of the West have begun to turn their attention towards India, shattering the previous notions of ‘self-indulgent, shallow jingoistic narratives’ propagated by the left cabal against the foreign policy of India.
Precisely, amidst the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, both nations have unequivocally reiterated the Indian stance of ‘diplomacy and dialogue,’ with Prime Minister Narendra Modi earning the reputation of ‘a true champion of world peace’ in the global arena.
The ‘not an era of war’ vision of PM Modi has been held in high regard by ‘peace-loving western powers’ that have cherished the ‘call for peace through dialogue and diplomacy’ endorsed by India. Evidently, with India formally assuming the G20 Presidency in December 2022, the world now looks towards India with a ‘ray of optimism’ to end the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, which has devastated the global economy and adversely affected the supply chain, following the catastrophic aftermaths of the COVID pandemic.
Zelensky calls PM Modi, after previous call of Putin
In line with the long chain of events, Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, claimed on Monday that he spoke over the phone with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and that he counted on India’s support for the implementation of his peace plan.
The statement comes at a time when President Putin has recently endorsed the vision of ‘peace talks’ proposed by PM Modi, suggesting an early cessation of the war in Ukraine. The telephonic conversation of President Zelensky, pressed for implementation of the “peace formula” proposed by the Ukrainian president at the G20 Summit in Indonesia last month.

President Zelensky optimism in India also highlights that stature of PM Modi in particular and the fascinating success of the Indian foreign policy, which placed equidistant to both the countries in conflict. That is to say, at a time when most world powers are either aligned with one of the two nations out of Russia and Ukraine, India emerges as the only nation that can effectively facilitate peace due to the country’s neutral stance in the war.
Consequently, even the west has realised that PM Modi is honest with his intentions in advocating for ‘peace through dialogue and diplomacy.’ The veracity of the claim can be corroborated by the statement of Vedant Patel, Principal Deputy Spokesperson, of the US State Department, which once again welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s position on the Ukraine conflict. The spokesperson opined, “We would take PM Modi at his word and welcome those comments…

Why is PM Modi gaining the Centre stage in the conflict?
The global economy is facing serious challenges, with blooming inflation. Thus, at a time when the west is “shivering in the chill of winter,” the significance of natural gas has skyrocketed, and with Russian sanctions in play, the supply chain is getting drastically affected.
In such a scenario, the west is looking forward to an early cessation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, but with a lack of exit options and the absence of a peace policy in place, the west is looking towards India to play the role of an arbitrator in the war, which has stretched for over 10 months now.

Consequently, the West, especially the United States, has accepted the neutral stance of India, realising that only India can bring peace in the region. India is heading towards ensuring the ‘role of Vishwa Guru’ by holding talks with President Putin and President Zelensky, who hold the Indian PM in high regard. Further, with India taking the presidency of the G20, the end of the war can soon become a reality.
