For two days in India, Olaf Scholz tried to make his hosts feel the political importance he attaches to them – even if the government in Delhi is a difficult partner in the Ukraine war.
If you want to demonstrate your special interest in a country, it is best to have something very foreign shown to you. On Sunday afternoon, the Chancellor’s column roars towards the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. Olaf Scholz visits the women’s team of the Royal Challengers. The sport they practice is called cricket, comes from England and still seems rather exotic to the Germans. In India, however, cricket is the national sport.
