💬 MediaFx Take (from a Socialist, Working-Class Lens)
Modi’s ultra-packed schedule reminds us that diplomacy isn’t just about big economies—it’s about ordinary working people. Resetting India–Canada ties could mean better #job opportunities for migrant workers, smoother trade for farmers, and concerted action against terror that harms common citizens. His push for Global South priorities signals a move towards more economic justice, shared infrastructure, and autonomy for developing nations. But real progress must go deeper—into labour-friendly policies, green energy access, technology that uplifts rural India, and stronger social welfare. It's not enough to talk big at summits; the agenda must reflect the needs of the working class at home and abroad.
