Not just Premier Modi, these legendary leaders from Shastri to Indira Gandhi have shown the US many times, is history witness how the US pressure balloon bursts
The US has imposed 25 percent tariff on India that applies from today. After this tariff, India and US relations became even stronger. Today we tell you about some similar incidents of history when India had to experience pressure from America. Please tell that under the leadership of Lal Bahadur Shastri, Indira Gandhi and Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the US was placed on diplomatic and strategic pressure. But India did not fall before the threat. The US threatened to close wheat during the Indo pack war in 1965, there was a major food crisis in India. During that time, US President Lyndon Johnson threatened that wheat would be stopped if the war did not stop. But Lal Bahadur Shastri insists on confidence by giving the slogan of ‘Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan’. He called on the countrymen to give up a time of food, which reduced US pressure. This strategy of Shastri Ji not only united the public, but also gave a message to the US that India would speak on its own conditions. Lal Bahadur Shastri said that if America wants to stop wheat, then stop, we don’t care. Indira Gandhi replied that former country’s prime minister Indira Gandhi put diplomatic pressure on America during the Indo-pack war in 1971. When the US tried to threaten India by sending the seventh fleet to the Bay of Bengal, Indira Ji answered with the Soviet Union by performing a friendship with the Soviet Union. Indira Gandhi gave an appropriate answer to America during that time. His persistence forced America to return and India played a decisive role in the independence of Bangladesh. In addition, the Pokhran-1 nuclear test established India as a nuclear power in 1974, causing the US to reconsider its strategic relations with India. In 1998, the nuclear test of Pokhran-2 led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the largest diplomatic move from India. But it has provoked America. The sanctions of America have, among other things, the stop of weapons, the prevention of financial aid and providing obstacles in providing financial aid to India. But India showed firmness. India said these tests are essential for national security, especially in light of its neighbors with a rich rich. India spoke to the US and eventually the US realized that the policy of putting India under pressure has failed. Share this story -tags
