South Asia is witnessing political turmoil, with governments in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Nepal collapsing under waves of public anger. Analysts argue these crises follow a troubling pattern—countries moving closer to India or China suddenly face unrest, often amplified by foreign “toolkits” and U.S. Deep State strategies. The fear now is whether similar forces could target India.
The recent chaos in Nepal, where the prime minister resigned after violent protests, is the latest example. Similar unrest forced Sri Lanka’s president to flee in 2022, pushed Sheikh Hasina out of Bangladesh, and destabilized Pakistan under Imran Khan. Observers see a common script: youth-led protests, anger at corruption, and amplified narratives of inequality. Many believe foreign funding and activist networks fuel these movements.
In India, the opposition’s “vote chori” claims echo external narratives without evidence. The BJP warns of attempts to weaken trust in democracy, while critics argue foreign powers exploit divisions. Reports show the U.S. has already invested millions in civil society projects across the region, raising concerns of subtle regime-change tactics.
India’s leaders, both ruling and opposition, now face a key challenge: safeguard sovereignty by competing fairly in politics while resisting external interference.
