Wall Street Journal Flags Concerns Over India's Global Image

The Wall Street Journal ran an opinion column titled "India’s Global Image Problem" on its platform. The piece examines how a series of recent diplomatic, economic and policy developments have shaped perceptions of India abroad. It points to trade policy shifts, human‑rights debates and strategic alignments as key factors influencing the country's image on the world stage. The author argues that India must adopt a more proactive communication strategy and engage with international media to counter negative narratives. While the column does not propose specific policy changes, it underscores the importance of perception management for India's long‑term global standing.
