SAM PITRODA

Many have questioned the timing of the visit, especially as key state elections are on the horizon. However, I would like to a broader perspective on why this I was not only timely but essential ndia's future on the global stage.

India, political events are constantre is always something critical haping, whether it be elections, ecoic challenges, or social unrest. It is in this ever-evolving landscape Rahul made the strategic decision ngage with our global partners in US. His visit isn't just about the poliof the moment; it's about connectwith those who shape world affairs reaffirming India's commitment to red democratic values.

The visit coincided with an important ment for the US, as the country pres for elections in November. This is merely a domestic event for the US; a pivotal moment for global democThe US and India, as the two largest ocracies, are both facing internal and external pressures on their democratic institutions. The importance of this visit is in reinforcing alliances between democratic nations that are navigating these challenges together.

Both countries have recently seen their democratic systems tested. These tests are part of a global trend where authoritarianism is on the rise, threatening to destabilise countries. Rahul's discussions in the US were focused on how democracies like India and the US can collaborate to uphold these values. The dialogue is not merely about political survival but about ensuring the resilience of democratic institutions.
