About the book
Written by S. Jaishankar, India's Minister of External Affairs, this 2020 work is his first book. It examines how India has approached world affairs since independence, looking at the country's older traditions of statecraft and the effects of colonization on its outlook. Jaishankar reviews the economic, political and security considerations behind earlier alignments and what they meant for the country. He argues that India must find its way through a multipolar world, sets out possible policy responses to current challenges, and presents India as an important global actor shaped by history and present realities.
