At one point at the Raisina Dialogue, a multilateral conference in Delhi last week, Indian Foreign Minister Subramaniam Jaishankar surprised the audience by going off-script and saying, “Actually, I think I’m the center of the world. , but that’s a different matter.” We don’t know if Jaishankar spoke in a quantum sense, was super-conscious, or was the star minister of the most populous country on the planet. We are certain that the world’s attention has been focused on the Indian capital for the past few weeks, hosting international diplomacy with the G-20, the Quad-Ministerial Meeting of the Defense Quad, and the summit celebration. Voices of the Global SouthAnd the eighth edition of the Raisina Dialogue was launched by Prime Minister Modi shortly after winning the elections.
A one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn for a country with an isolationist streak that until recently was off the radar of superpower politics. A turnaround resulting from a slow and steady turnaround over the past two decades had a significant turning point with the signing of the Civil Nuclear Cooperation Treaty with the United States and benefited from favorable winds blowing in the opposite direction. For the Indo-Pacific region.
Under the title A lighthouse in a storm? The Raisina Dialogue provided a representation of Delhi’s global vision and aspirations. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov had a singular and inclusive vision as he said, “We are trying to stop this war that has been launched against us using the Ukrainian people,” sending the audience roaring with laughter in a somber gesture. Abstaining from UN resolutions against the Russian invasion of Ukraine has been branded contradictory and ambiguous.
According to Quad, Jaishankar highlighted: “I feel very uncomfortable with very sharp definitions, Do this, don’t do that, you have to be, resist…”. The Indian way of not accepting Western familiar dichotomies for good. A type of achronological approach that often confounds European researchers and applies to the non-Cartesian tradition of Indian speculation: the art of contradiction, as Indologist Ana Agut explains. Being and not being are poems and their languages in history (Abada), relativizes dualism to transcend “with me or against me.” This implies that there are no concrete preferences in any way. “It is a question,” concluded the minister, “of nations working together to advance their national interests.”
But what are those interests? Which place does India want to occupy as a superpower? Can he combine leadership and non-alignment?
From Prism Real politics It highlights its intention to reassert its primacy in the new structure of the Indo-Pacific. The significance of the Quad Table presented a powerful image of purpose and objectives: America and Asia united with the liberal democracies. Since the appearance of the Quad, then Tsunami Since 2004 till date India has strengthened its relations with Australia, Japan and USA. With the latter, he is set to close a procurement deal for high-altitude armed drones Wall Street Journal, This would make India the first country to acquire a version of this drone without first signing an agreement.
On the plane Moral politics, in the words of Narendra Modi – Delhi aspires to “give voice to the global South”. Claiming such leadership, regardless of whether it is part of the bloc or not, allows it to elevate its position as a global player, competing with shadow rival China, the other major contender for that position. Colonized by the British in the past, India has evidence in its favor of being an international law-abiding, revisionist power: in 2014 it accepted a ruling by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague. In contrast to Beijing’s refusal to recognize the same court’s ruling in favor of the Philippines over their dispute in the South China Sea to delimit Bangladesh’s maritime boundaries.
follows the dogmatic logic of Arthasastra From Kautilya, who famously coined the principle “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” 2,000 years ago, India knows how to take advantage of the divisions and contradictions of diversity, using the tools of the Global South to win. North-South proves not subject to Washington In practice Half aligned, closing the circle, increasing the distance with Beijing. On the horizon, the ultimate ambition: a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.
