Talking about his newly released book ‘Why Bharat Matters?’ which was book evoked quite an interest among the diplomatic community in New Delhi, Dr Jaishankar was asked about and whether the nation is as staunch by the side of India as Lakshman was to Ram.
Replying to this, Dr Jaishankar, who is widely recognized master at communications without using too many words, just added that his book has a section devoted to relations with them and it has many reference to Lakshman from Ramayan so the rest should be figured out by the readers.
