Thumbnail Description: PMs and dosas unite at G20 over chutney and world peace
In what can only be described as the sauciest development at the G20 Summit in New Delhi, leaders who previously threw shade are now sharing sambar. Yes, folks, welcome to the dawn of *Dosa Diplomacy*. As India hosted the world’s most powerful politicians last week, what actually stole the headlines wasn’t treaties or trade—nope, it was the dosa.
The humble South Indian crepe has apparently done what multiple UN peacekeeping missions couldn’t. According to mildly believable sources (read: my neighbour Raju who runs a dosa stall near Connaught Place), Russian and American delegates bonded over a ghee-laden masala dosa at a food stall in Bharat Mandapam. Reports say they even fist-bumped over the coconut chutney, proving that global peace might actually be a fermented rice-lentil batter away.
Now, let’s be honest, for a city that’s seen its fair share of heated parliamentary debates and confused traffic signals that defy the laws of physics, Delhi looked surprisingly zen this week. Why? Probably because every delegate was too busy figuring out how to balance a dosa in one hand and talk geopolitics with the other. It’s hard to argue annexations when your fingers are coated in molagapodi.
This marks a potentially game-changing moment in foreign policy. If leaders can embrace the dosa—an oval of crispy, crunchy neutrality—perhaps shared carbs can lead to shared consensus. Even Macron was spotted smiling while dipping a perfectly torn edge into coconut chutney, proving that nothing says ‘je t’aime’ quite like fermented rice flour.
And can we just take a second to appreciate the genius of “soft power” rebranded as “soft idli power”? Instead of drones, maybe offer drone-sized mini idlis. Forget sanctions, seduce with sambhar. The West can keep their champagne summits. We have chutney caucuses.
In conclusion, if the G20 can be hijacked by hearty breakfasts, maybe the road to world peace doesn’t wind through Geneva but through the local Udupi joint. So next time global tensions rise, skip the emergency meetings and send a dosa with extra aloo. You can’t drop nukes with greasy fingers.
May global dialogue always be crispy on the sides, soft in the middle, and served with an extra dash of chutney. Jai sambar, jai diplomacy.
