Türkiye Quake: India’s Initiative is an Epitome of its Vedic Tradition Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam

The huge earthquakes in Syria and Türkiye have trambled the world too. Though earthquakes have time and again stirred neighboring countries like Afghanistan, Iran, and Nepal, the current incident has left approximately twenty-one thousand people dead and lakhs injured and homeless.

Talk about the number of homeless people, the figures look even bigger. At this hard time, many countries are coming forward to help wounded Türkiye, but the way India has shown its promptness and generosity in this matter has made our country stand in the line of great nations of the world.

Türkiye was not on good terms with India. The relations between the two countries have not been very good during the last decades. And on the annihilation of Article 350 from Kashmir lately was something that Türkiye did not like at all. It strongly criticized the steps taken by the Modi government regarding Kashmir.

With an aspiration of becoming the world’s Muslim leader, Türkiye had also tried to provoke other Muslim countries on the question of Kashmir. Nevertheless, nations like Saudi Arabia termed this issue an internal matter of India. It was the same president of Türkiye, Recep Tayyip Erdogan who had shown the audacity to condemn the riots in Delhi, but the Indian government did not make any distinction between Hindu and Muslim while helping the tremor-hit state. Modi Government has opened the doors of humanity for Türkiye without any delay. Many doctors, nurses, medicines, clothes, and paramilitary support for the relief work have been sent to Ankara and Istanbul via its charter ships by India.

A large number of rescuers have also been sent for saving the lives of those buried under the quake debris. Twelve years ago similar help was immediately sent by the Indian government when in 2011 one such quake terrified Japan and then Nepal in 2015.

With this human opportunity, the Modi government will certainly improve its image among the minorities of India. Indian and Turkish representatives have been at loggerheads in the UN, but when Erdogan and Modi met at the SCO Conference in Samarkand last September, there was a lot of softening in mutual relations.

Firat Sunel, Turkish Ambassador in India says – “A friend is the one who comes in handy at a difficult time.”

Should Türkiye need it, India is willing to extend its help. It has that global charm now that it may also inspire other rich countries to render their helping hands for Türkiye. Hope this changes the perspective of Islamic states for India and they may have a rational approach to look forward to this subcontinent.
