"Prime Minister Modi’s 88 foreign trips to 72 countries have sparked a heated national conversation. While party delegations frequently travel abroad, it’s Modi’s international visits that are now under the spotlight. People are asking tough questions: What has India really gained from all this global outreach? Were these trips focused on strengthening diplomatic ties—or were they more about building the Prime Minister’s personal image ahead of elections? This video dives into the heart of the debate. Why did only Israel and Afghanistan publicly stand with India during the conflict with Pakistan, despite Modi’s extensive foreign engagement? Were these high-profile visits successful in boosting India’s global standing, or did they fall short of delivering concrete results? Our panel takes a close look at these questions and more, unpacking the political and diplomatic dimensions of the Prime Minister’s international travels. Joining the discussion are well-known voices—Prof. Mukesh Kumar, Shravan Garg, Dhananjay Tripathi, Sheetal P. Singh, and Vinod Agnihotri—who offer their insights into the impact, intentions, and outcomes of these trips. Whether you're interested in Indian foreign policy, political strategy, or just curious about what goes on behind all those headline-making visits, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss."
