Vivekananda International Foundation Warns India of US Interference

The Vivekananda International Foundation released a report on March 2, 2026, warning that India must prepare for persistent covert and overt American interference in its domestic affairs. The New Delhi-based think tank argues that the administration of Donald Trump utilizes unbridled power that threatens regional stability, specifically citing events from February 28, 2026.

To protect national security, the foundation advises the Government of India to boost counterintelligence coverage of all U.S. activities, including the operations of NGOs and media. The report asserts that European strategic autonomy is limited, meaning India cannot rely on European intervention if its independent foreign policy conflicts with U.S. interests.

The analysis also criticizes a speech delivered by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the 2026 Munich Security Conference. The foundation characterizes Rubio's urging for Europe to join a quest for Western hegemony as a promotion of neo-imperialism and a return to gunboat diplomacy.
