Crisis Metal Detector
Rajnath Singh goes treasure hunting for World Bank approval while West Asia burns just off-screen.
In a parched, cracked landscape labeled “West Asia Crisis,” Rajnath Singh stands in the foreground with a gleaming, high-tech metal detector branded “WORLD BANK APPROVAL™.” Instead of scanning the smoking horizon of missiles and refugee tents behind him, he’s intently sweeping the detector over a small patch of ground labeled “COVID Narrative Gold.” The detector beeps wildly over a buried chest stamped “GLOBAL PRAISE – 2020 EDITION,” while right next to him a clearly visible, half-buried, blinking hazard sign reads “CURRENT WAR – HANDLE NOW” that he ignores. A tiny, unimpressed bystander holding a tattered map labeled “Actual Foreign Policy” mutters, “You don’t find solutions by re-detecting old medals.”
