S Jaishankar also discussed India becoming a bigger economy than Britain and dominating cricket.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar described the foreign policy under ”Captain” Modi using the cricket analogy, explaining how the government functions. Mr Jaishankar was speaking at Raisina Dialogue, the flagship think-tank event organised by the Observer Research Foundation (ORF) in partnership with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). The foreign minister also made a reference to blockbuster film ‘RRR<\/em>‘ while describing the relations between India and the UK. Former UK PM Tony Blair and former England cricket player Kevin Peterson also shared the dais with him during the event.<\/p>\n

“With Captain (PM) Modi the net practice starts 6 in the morning and goes on till fairly late,” Mr Jaishankar said when asked to explain the functioning of the government.<\/p>\n

He further said that if a captain has a bowler who can perform, he will give him the ball.<\/p>\n

”I think in that sense, captain Modi does give his bowlers a certain amount of freedom. He expects you to take that wicket if he gives you the chance to do it. But I would also say some of it is watching the difficult decisions being taken. The decision to lockdown was a very tough decision, it has to be taken. If we now look back, what would have happened if we had not taken that decision?” he said.<\/p>\n

The foreign minister then highlighted the rising interest in India’s foreign policy.<\/p>\n

“It is because world is in a difficult place, more people are getting interested in the world. The second reason is globalisation of India. Like a cricket team, we don’t want to win matches only at home but abroad as well,” he said.<\/p>\n

With Mr Blair present, the discussion then moved to India becoming a bigger economy than Britain and dominating cricket too.<\/p>\n

“I’d call it rebalancing. It is the history which is switch-hitting, it’s hitting the other way… India today is in a very unusual position, once more decisively upwardly mobile which lot of other civilisational states aren’t in a position to do,” said Mr Jaishankar.<\/p>\n

“The most popular film in India last year was ‘RRR<\/em>‘, it has to do with the British era… The fact is when you such complex history, there would a downside to it, there would be suspicions, unresolved problems,” he added.<\/p>\n
