By EAM S. Jaishankar , the book divulges into the complexities of a bipolar world , if not a multipolar dive as far as geopolitics is concerned ! India’s neighbours , maritime tussles and Geo strategic challenges !
Nevertheless India rises to the occasion more recently being the host of all important G20. The key take away is to create the culture and capability of manufacturing for self and the world . More importantly in realpolitik and on the world stage strength always will bring peace .
The countries judge you how you are capable enough to cater to their needs and interests . The more capable you are , more the respect you demand – that’s the cycle the world revolves in !
Self resiliency and self dependency , be it digital or physical infrastructure , technologies , wartime competencies – all of these matter when your vigour is needed the most . India should cling onto its glorious past and achievements and get itself inspired for the times to come .
Nevertheless , as the EAM refers to Ramayana often in the book – this Indian epic can be a start point to shape India’s narratives and showcase the worldly brotherhood while not compromising on its interests ! India’s intent , objective narration and projection of own interests without a touch of doubt will not only build India into the global stage but will make the earth a better place to cheer of !!!
