Union External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar challenged the US’ understanding of India’s history while dismissing their disapproval of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
Jaishankar said, “I am not contesting the flaws in their democracy or their principles. I am questioning their comprehension of our history. Many global comments seem to overlook India’s Partition, as if it never occurred, and disregard the consequential issues addressed by the CAA.”
He clarified that the law aimed to rectify problems stemming from India’s Partition.
Regarding US Ambassador Eric Garcetti’s emphasis on democratic principles of freedom and equality, Jaishankar remarked at the India Today Conclave, “By simplifying and sanitising issues, removing historical context, and presenting politically correct arguments, one might claim adherence to principles without grasping the full picture.”
