Rethinking India Series: India’S Tryst With The World: A Foreign Policy Manifesto
Rethinking India Series: India’s Tryst With The World: A Foreign Policy Manifesto is a timely, thought-provoking collection that traces India's evolution on the global stage. This non-fiction volume is written for students of international relations, policy enthusiasts, and curious readers who want a clear, balanced view of how India navigates diplomacy in an increasingly interconnected world. As it approaches the centenary of independence in 2047, the book carries a hopeful, analytical tone that invites readers to imagine India's next steps on the world stage.
Inside, a thoughtful dialogue unfolds through essays by renowned diplomats and political thinkers, including the late Manmohan Singh, Shashi Tharoor, Shivshankar Menon, Suhasini Haider, and Kishore Mahbubani. The pieces are arranged as a coherent conversation about India’s foreign policy—its ambitions, constraints, and responsibilities—grounded in history but looking forward to practical paths for the future. The writing is accessible and engaging, blending historical context with fresh perspectives to illuminate how diplomacy works in practice.
Whether you’re new to international relations or deep into policy debates, the book balances rigorous analysis with clear storytelling. It covers key concepts such as strategic autonomy, regional leadership, trade and technology, multilateral cooperation, and the domestic economy’s role in shaping national diplomacy, all presented in a way that invites thoughtful discussion rather than heavy jargon.
