NEW DELHI: India’s exclusion from the global tech alliance PAX SILICA has drawn sharp criticism from opposition parties, according to news reports.
Opposition leaders have raised questions over India’s exclusion from the digital alliance, describing it as a major diplomatic and technological setback for the Modi government on the global stage.
Speaking on the issue, opposition leader J. Ram Ramesh linked the expulsion to India’s defeat by Pakistan in May, calling it a key reason for the country’s international embarrassment.
He further remarked that India’s removal from PAX SILICA by the United States after May 10 was not entirely surprising.
PAX SILICA is a global initiative aimed at establishing a secure and reliable silicon supply chain with trusted allies.
Analysts say India’s exclusion could have implications for its access to advanced technology and international collaborations.
Following what is being described as a historic defeat at the hands of Pakistan, India is facing mounting setbacks and criticism on multiple fronts, analysts say.
Experts highlight that Pakistan’s strategic planning and effective measures have gradually eroded India’s international reputation, impacting its diplomatic credibility and global image.
Observers note that India’s diplomatic and strategic missteps in recent months have left the country increasingly isolated on the world stage.
Pakistan’s consistent approach in regional and international affairs is being credited with strengthening its position while exposing vulnerabilities in India’s policies, according to commentators.
