## Geopolitical Fallout: India Expelled from Key Global Technology Pact
India has reportedly been excluded from the critical global technology alliance, Pax Silicia (Pax Celica), a coalition focused on securing a reliable silicon supply chain among trusted allies.
The exclusion has triggered intense backlash from the Indian opposition. Senior opposition leader Jairam Ramesh sharply criticized the move, labeling it a catastrophic erosion of the Modi government’s international standing. Ramesh explicitly linked India’s expulsion to the country’s alleged “humiliating defeat” at the hands of Pakistan in May, stating that the subsequent withdrawal by the United States from Pax Silicia after May 10th was unsurprising given the global embarrassment.
