1. 1. Pax Indica

   India and the World of the 21st Century

   

   This book examines India’s evolving role in 21st-century global politics, arguing for a confident, values-driven foreign policy that leverages economic growth, soft power and strategic partnerships to secure national interests while promoting multilateralism and global justice. It traces historical roots—from colonialism and non‑alignment to economic liberalization—and analyzes contemporary challenges including relations with the United States, China and regional neighbors, as well as terrorism, development and climate change. The author advocates reform of international institutions, a permanent UN Security Council seat for India, and a blend of pragmatism and moral leadership to advance development, human rights and regional stability. Combining history, analysis and policy prescriptions, the work makes a case for India to be an engaged, responsible global actor.
