Global South Pays the Price: India Calls Out Hormuz Attacks at G20

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has <b>slammed the rising attacks</b> on Indian seafarers in the Strait of Hormuz during the G20 summit. He explicitly stated that the <b>Global South</b> is disproportionately bearing the brunt of geopolitical instability and maritime insecurity. While global powers engage in high-level diplomacy, the actual workers on the frontlines are left to face the fire of regional conflicts without adequate protection or accountability from the international community. It is the classic case of the <b>Global South</b> being treated as collateral damage in someone else's power struggle. While major nations preach about 'freedom of navigation,' the reality for Indian sailors is a high-stakes gamble with their lives. The international order seems remarkably efficient at protecting trade routes but conveniently slow when it comes to the safety of the actual humans navigating them. It is high time the rhetoric matches the ground reality. This ongoing maritime volatility threatens to disrupt supply chains and inflate costs for everyday consumers globally.
