An Indian Congress leader has criticized her party’s approach to diplomacy and progress, saying, “We kept making the film ‘Dhurandhar,’ while Pakistan showed us the monkey film, moved ahead, and kept brokering peace in the world.” She argued that while India focused on its own narrative and internal productions, Pakistan leveraged opportunities to advance its position internationally and play a mediating role in global affairs. Her remarks come amid debates over India’s foreign policy effectiveness and the need for more proactive engagement on the world stage, highlighting concerns that symbolic gestures and domestic focus may not translate into real influence abroad.
