Narendra Modi's "Bagh Bakree" Diplomacy - some explanations
New Delhi/Varanasi. Narendra Modi must have known the "Bagh Bakree" (tiger-goat) term way back in his childhood when he used to sell tea at the platform of Vadnagar railway station, his native place. Father Damodardas, while preparing tea, might have used the "Bagh Bakree Tea", a famous 125 year old brand having roots in Gujarat.
The brand name is unique- India's most popular beverage has taste of two different kinds of animal traits and both can live in peace and harmony. Tiger is India's national animal and Bakree is Mahatma's little cow . The Mahatma preferred Bakree over holy cow for obvious reasons . Cow occasionally uses her horns and kicks and owner has to endure them to collect milk, only next to nectar. Goats are as harmless as the Mahatma himself. Most peaceful and Most violent people on earth, erected his statues world over.
Bal Narendra is now Prime Minister of world's largest democracy and the imprint of Bagh and Bakree is now taking a concrete shape in his foreign policy. He is confident that he can befriend both- tiger and goat simultaneously.
Shia-Sunni conflict or new cold war between US and Russia and US and China do not bother him. He, in an interview on Monday, said it is possible to keep friendly relations and do business with two mutually inimical countries. He was forthright in giving example of his successful engagement with Saudi Arabia and Qatar on one one hand and Iran on the other .
In his Post graduation Modi opted International Relations as one of the papers and we are told that he got 48/100 marks. Perhaps in examination he dwelt more on his Bagh- Bakree understanding of world affairs than Bismark and Hans Morgenthau.
Overall, his Bagh Bakree diplomacy is proving successful, despite a setback in NSG.
