India Marks itself as a strategic defence partner to South-Asian Countries in both Arms and Ammunitions and Cooperation. This challenges the USA and China’s long established dominance in South Asia.
As New Delhi’s defense export ambitions grow, the south east sees India as the best viable option for weapons purchasing as India offers more viable cooperation and less politically encumbered options.
India delieverd it’s BrahMos Supersonic Cruise missile to Phillipines in 2022, and now, the deal with Indonesia regarding the same system is in the final talks. Indian officials claim that Inda further plans to expand it’s defense network even into Vietnam by exporting Indian weapons to them.
What fuels this preference is that China’s Defense Deals are largely just transactional while US arms deals come strangled with political links, only India offers the more cooperation based model. India too has it’s own interests but it makes sure that its intersts do not overshadow the other countries’ interests, making India appear a better neutral Partner.
Coverage by South China Morning Post describe these Indian Arms deal to Indonesia and Phillipines not just simply as a deal, but as a “Declaration of India’s Strategic Arrival” in the region which has been long dominated militarily by USA and Politically Constrained by China.
So guys, A new country has joined this great game, The game has now become from ‘The Big Two’ to the ‘The Big Three’.
Rest is on time and on the preference of South Asian Countries which will decide who among the three will emerge out victorious and their regions’s fate. i wish all the best to them and hope for their wellbeing, just as we all should.

Only if you only consume Indian media, because for 70 years now you all haven’t had press freedoms
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_the_press_in_India#Censorship_on_press
Which, the 1950s was when your current government was formed, crushing the press was like the first thing the far right BJP did
I highly doubt you’ve ever been alive to experience a free press (unless you’re over 70) so it’s not your fault, you’ve been brainwashed your entire life by far right authoritarians…
Except your lucky enough to have the internet, your not limited to only hearing what your government wants you to hear. You can just skip the propaganda instead of spreading it and defending it
Unless of course, your a supporting of the far right Bharatiya Janata Party and that’s why you made this post…
Are you a supporter of the far right Bharatiya Janata Party Mr BharatiyaReformist@lemmy.ml?
Sorry man, but I have to say the way you talk, you seem like you yourself has been brainwashed by Far Left Dominating parties in your country, who are brainwahsed into thinking that no one other than them has free press.
The claims I have given in my post are not by my country by given by South China Morning post, it is up to your perception wheather it is far left, right or whatever of your thos terminologies.
Press freedom in Right wing rule countries is much better than prime Far left dominant countries. If Press was not free here, how are we today the world’s 4th largest economy, how are we the 4th strongest military, if press is not free here how are we called the pharmacy of the world?
In these 70 years alone we have acheived what many newly independent countries and even well established countries would fail to acheive, and each and every goverenment and party has contributed in this despite their mistakes, either it is INC or BJP, both have contributed in their own way. Let me tell you, in here if even any one person’s voice is tried to be crushed, the very next day you will see processions and these processions don’t stop until responsisbility is taken by the goverenemnt.
Yes Challeneges are there, but when had we not faced such challenges, yes the media is biased, but also many of them are free and kicking, we will improve and grow, despite what the world hopes or thinks. Is the Chinese media not manipulated, or US media not biased? How dod they grow? Media plays a huge role in maintaining democracy and promoting growth, but examples like China prove that this is not the only factor. By this statement don’t think I am in any way trying to undermine the importance of Media, but it is not the only factor
Now about which Party I support, I support all those parties who want the betterment of this nation, I support India i.e Bharat, and it’s people and whoever will try to do good for the nation in a rational way I will support them and their actions and as an Indian this is my birth right. If this same was action was done under INC rule, I still would’ve had supported this. I would like to clear “I don’t support a Party, I support an Idea, and that Idea is Nation focused not a Party Focused”
I hope this would’ve had answered you long awaited question Mr givesomefucks@lemmy.world? And I would really suggest you Mr to keep your bask of your so called sense of superiority in your pocket and to stop thinking that other than you, no one has freedom, with of course, all due respect.
