Regarding the "demolitions," the author fails to mention that these are legal procedures against unauthorized encroachments on public property. When individuals are found to be undocumented foreigners, their deportation is a matter of upholding the law and national security, not "anti-Muslim" sentiment. To suggest otherwise ignores the judicial oversight involved in these processes.

Furthermore, characterizing India as being "in a fix" underestimates India’s history of strategic autonomy. India’s relationship with Iran is rooted in centuries of cultural exchange and energy cooperation, just as its ties with Israel are built on mutual security interests. India does not "pick sides" in a binary way; it manages complex, multi-layered relationships that have survived decades of regional shifts. A deeper reading of Indian history would show that New Delhi’s diplomacy is far more resilient than this article suggests.
