EAM Dr S Jaishankar said that Lord Krishna and Lord Hanuman were "the greatest diplomats". He said, "One is the great diplomat of...Mahabharata, the other is a great diplomat of the Ramayana." Jaishankar noted that Lord Hanuman was sent to Sri Lanka, actually, to get information, saying, "He was given...one job, and he did ten and that too beyond expectations."
