Ram Madhav's Speech at the Hudson Institute [0:00]
Ram Madhav recently spoke at the Hudson Institute in America, expressing that India has made significant sacrifices for the United States, such as halting oil purchases from Iran and Russia and enduring tariffs.

The Disconnect Between Words and Actions [0:00]
The discussion revolves around the contrast between Ram Madhav's statements and Rajnath Singh's rhetoric, questioning if there's a connection between them. The speaker emphasizes that during discussions in Washington, which included RSS's general secretary, the Indian ambassador, and members of parliament, there was a palpable sense of disappointment. India felt that despite complying with US demands like accepting tariffs, imposing sanctions against Russia, and reducing oil imports, the US still seemed to favor Pakistan.
India's Compliance with US Demands [0:00]
The speaker recalls that when an American analyst suggested India needed to keep America happy, Ram Madhav questioned what more India could do, highlighting the extent of India's compliance. The Indian government has never admitted to acting under American pressure; instead, it has maintained the opposite. However, a clear pattern emerges when mapping US requests against India's actions regarding oil imports and other demands: India has consistently complied.
The Reality Behind India's Actions [0:00]
The speaker points out that India was initially allowed to import oil from Russia for one month, and then for another, indicating a gradual acceptance of US conditions. Similarly, India ceased oil imports from Iran as requested. Despite the government's denial of acting under pressure, it is evident that India has been complying with US demands. Therefore, Ram Madhav's statements simply acknowledge what is already widely understood.
