🇮🇳 India's passport just got ranked 125th out of roughly 199 countries, with visa-free access to a grand total of 26 destinations.

Even below several nations with a fraction of India's GDP, diplomatic reach, or global standing.
Here's the part that should actually sting. India has the world's 4th largest economy, sends astronauts and satellites into orbit, and runs one of the largest diplomatic services on earth. And its own citizens still need a visa to visit most of the planet.
The government loves posting about India's "rising global stature" every time a trade deal gets signed. Somehow that rising stature hasn't translated into a single additional country trusting an Indian passport enough to skip the visa queue.
Growing GDP, growing satellite count, growing defense budget. Passport ranking: still stuck fighting it out with countries most people couldn't find on a map.
