‘Forces abroad don’t want a strong India because it can’t be manipulated’ - former Indian Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal

On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, Ambassador Kanwal Sibal exposes how Western media and Big Tech actively manipulate global perspectives to suppress rising nations. He calls out Meta, and the “anti-government” algorithms that suppressed Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s midnight address during protests. He explains how, fed up with its pro-Western narrative, India has threatened to strip Meta of its safe harbor protections to defend national sovereignty. He fiercely rejects claims of Indian opportunism, defending New Delhi’s delicate diplomatic balance with Russia, Iran, and Israel as smart, independent statecraft. Mr. Sibal also critiques Washington’s interventionist history, marveling at Iran’s unexpected military resilience. He breaks down what could happen, should Iran prevail in the standoff with the US.
