00:00When these three Indian sailors were killed in a US-linked strike, the internet began
00:03asking why is India not being tough on the US.
00:06The opposition is questioning this too.
00:09And online, many are drawing comparisons to 2013.
00:12So let's compare the two movements.
00:14Here's the thing.
00:14In 2013, Indian diplomat Devyani Khobragade was arrested in New York, handcuffed and reportedly
00:20strip-searched by US authorities.
00:22She was a diplomat.
00:23Back then, Narendra Modi Gujarat's CM at the time had also publicly distanced himself
00:27from US diplomatic engagement.
00:29C.M. Narendra Modi had to meet the American Congress of Pratimuthi Mandel.
00:34India removed security barricades outside the US Embassy in Delhi, restricted privileges
00:38for American diplomats and demanded accountability.
00:41Many say that this situation is different.
00:43This time, it's three Indian seafarers who were not on an Indian flagship and were aboard
00:48a vessel transporting Iranian oil through a conflict-hit region.
00:51India-US relationship is far deeper strategically, militarily and economically and diplomacy often
00:57happens behind closed doors, not through public outrage.
01:00The MEA has said,
01:01We had summoned the US CDA here to register a strong protest.
01:07So, you decide.
01:09Tell us what you think.
01:12No.
01:13No.
