India’s “firm stand” framed by the government has successfully defeated specific U.S. “designs” by prioritizing sovereignty and national interest in several areas, including trade, foreign policy, and defense technology. This approach has reportedly allowed India to resist external pressure and assert an independent global position. In essence, India’s approach is characterized by a commitment to an independent, multi-aligned foreign policy and economic sovereignty, which has been interpreted as successfully countering specific U.S. efforts to dictate its actions in alignment with American interests.
