India is becoming a superpower, and the Indian Navy's assistance is being praised worldwide

After the Iranian-backed terrorist group Houthi attacked the British oil tanker MV Marlin Luanda in the Gulf of Aden on Friday, India is being commended for dispatching the Indian Navy to provide immediate assistance. This is being referred to by experts and others globally as India's ascent to superpower status.

Regarding this incident, experts say that despite being considered a world power and having a naval base in Djibouti (near the area of the incident), China did not respond to the call during the crisis. It was the Indian Navy which sprang into action. Europe-based historian and researcher Martin Sarbre, posting on X, said that India has taken the lead. A superpower is rising. Stop drooling over China.

The fact that India, not China, intervened during the crisis in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden intrigued British journalist Mark Urban as well. According to Urban in X Post, it's interesting to observe how India has handled the crises in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden among the rising great powers. Not so much in China.

Hassan Sajwani of the UAE stated in the post that during the crisis, the Indian Navy assisted a British oil tanker transporting Russian oil products in the Gulf of Aden. Expert in foreign affairs Abhijit Iyer-Mitra also criticised China for failing to secure its naval assets in Djibouti even though it has a naval base there. Mitra said that India is providing security to shipping in the Arabian Sea, but China, which has a base in Djibouti, is not doing so.

The attack by Houthi terrorists on Britain is not stopping. HMS Diamond, a British warship, foiled a Houthi drone attack in the Red Sea on Saturday, British officials said. Deploying the Sea Viper missile system, the warship destroyed the drone that targeted it, the Defense Ministry said on Sunday. HHS Diamond or its crew were not injured in the attack.
