Over the past eleven years, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India's foreign policy has been characterized by a commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of its citizens abroad, encapsulated in the principle of "leaving no Indian behind." This commitment has been powerfully demonstrated through a series of significant rescue operations, conducted in response to various crises ranging from conflicts to natural disasters. These operations highlight the government's proactive approach and its ability to effectively mobilize resources to protect its diaspora.

One of the most prominent examples is Operation Ganga in 2022, which focused on evacuating Indian citizens stranded in Ukraine amidst the escalating conflict. Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri lauded Operation Ganga as one of the most well-executed missions, praising the Prime Minister for his real-time response and dedication to ensuring no Indian was left behind. The operation successfully brought home thousands of Indian students and professionals who were caught in the conflict zone.

Beyond Ukraine, the Modi government has also undertaken critical rescue missions in other regions facing instability. The evacuation of Indian citizens from Afghanistan following the Taliban takeover in 2021 was a complex and challenging operation. Former Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla praised the Prime Minister's handling of diplomatic negotiations with foreign leaders, which were crucial in ensuring the safe return of Indians from the war-torn country.

These rescue operations are not isolated events but reflect a broader strategic vision. The government's approach involves meticulous planning, coordination between various agencies, and leveraging diplomatic channels to ensure the safety and smooth evacuation of Indian citizens. The success of these operations has not only provided relief to those in distress but has also enhanced India's image as a responsible and responsive global power.

Moreover, these efforts align with the principle laid down by Sushma Swaraj, that even if Indians are stuck in mars they will be rescued. The Modi government understands that empowerment is not a one-stop solution; rather it requires a lifecycle- based approach towards women empowerment. This can be seen in rescue operations conducted outside India, adopting zero- tolerance against terror policy.

In conclusion, the Modi government's focus on swiftly responding to crises and ensuring the safe return of Indian citizens from conflict zones and disaster-stricken areas underscores its commitment to its diaspora and its growing role in global affairs. The successful execution of these rescue operations stands as a testament to India's capabilities and its unwavering dedication to protecting its people, wherever they may be.
