OPINION: India Must Reject Trump's 'Gaza Peace Board' – A Dangerous Trap

• Donald Trump invited PM Modi to join a 'Gaza Peace Board', presented as an honor but seen as a move to use India for America's agenda.
• The author argues that India should reject this invitation, citing America's past uncooperative stance on global issues like the Paris Climate Deal and the International Solar Alliance.
• The 'Peace Board' is described as a 'Death Trap' designed to clean up America's image and shift blame to India if peace efforts fail in Gaza.
• The article draws parallels to India's past intervention in Sri Lanka (IPKF), which resulted in significant losses and strained relations, warning against repeating such mistakes in a complex region like Gaza.
• It differentiates Trump's 'Board' from UN peacekeeping missions, asserting that India should not become a 'sub-contractor' for US foreign policy, risking soldiers' lives for American interests.

Why It Matters: India should firmly reject Trump's 'Gaza Peace Board' to avoid a dangerous trap and protect its strategic interests.
