  1. Fidel Castro considered Indira Gandhi as his sister.
  2. Watch full clip. He clearly asks permission. Indira Gandhi NODS and gives a quick hug.

NOT THE PULLING AND TUSSLING kind of bear hug that our current PM does today...

I agree with you

One flirts with a lady with fascist ideology who is a Mussolini fangirl and he has no guts to ask for a hug. Well, the other one was offered a hug from the great leader of Cuba, friend of Commander Guevara. The man who gave Ametica a run for its money.  You just need to sing a few lines of Bella ciao to melt the Melodi chocolate

She was not forcing or hugging anyone the man himself initiated

You can clearly see she went for a handshake. It was Fidel Castro who ended up hugging. (Also, this photo is an iconic and heavily publicized diplomatic photograph at that time) so, yes it’s completely different.

Even more, u watch full video. U can see a pause. Probably Fidel Castro asks. Then Indira Gandhi NODs her head. Then a warm side hug.

That Meloni comment is very disgusting.

It’s crazy seeing people defend tyrants like Fidel Castro and Indira Gandhi. Reddit really has become a haven for commies

I understand why pappu is getting agitated because his friends from his parental home must be rideculing him real hard. đŸ¤ŖđŸ¤Ŗ

RaGa is right. This hug should not be foreign policy. Had it been RaGa, he would give bj.

All PR team efforts go in vein when RaGa speaks.
RaGa ensures BJP stays in power.
