Multipolar World: Can India Lead Without Picking Sides?
Is America working? Is Trump working? Is the West losing its grip?
And what role can a rising India play in a fractured world order and a fast-evolving
multipolar world?
While the Iran conflict may seem to have de-escalated, it exposed major
geopolitical shifts that are still unfolding.
Power is fragmenting, alliances are shifting, and a new global reality is taking
shape. The post-Cold War world order is breaking apart — and India stands at a
critical inflection point.
This episode was recorded just before the Iran crisis, during the Bridge India –
Ideas for India 2025 Conference, where early tremors of these changes were
already visible. The conversation has only grown more relevant since.
On India: A Story in the Making, we ask:
Can India remain non-aligned in a world of strategic rivalries?
How does it balance U.S.-China-Russia tensions?
Why has India not secured a permanent seat on the UN Security Council?
Can India act as a bridge for the Global South?
How effective has India’s non-alignment policy been in this shifting global
order?
From strategic autonomy and economic diplomacy to India’s potential global
leadership, this episode offers timely insights for anyone tracking geopolitics and
the global South’s future.
