If you cave in to bully, he'll increase his demands: Ex-Indian diplomat on Trump's tariffs
Former Indian diplomat Vikas Swarup said India did the right thing by not caving in to US President Donald Trump's demands of stopping Russian crude oil purchases. "If you cave in to a bully, then the bully will increase his demands," Swarup said. "Our strategic autonomy has been the bedrock of our foreign policy right from the 1950s," he added.
