HOW INDIA COULD POSITION ITSELF IN A MULTIPOLAR WORLD?

Bikash Choudhury

Just Nine months before one woman Indian Diplomat was humiliated on the streets of New York City. Indian people may have forgiven such an insult to their sovereignty but could never forget. Call it an irony of fate or otherwise; Indian Premier Narendra Modi was feted in another part of the same city at the Madison square stadium with forty US Congress men in attendance and about eighteen thousand Indian origins Americans ecstatically cheering the new premier of India who received a massive thumps up in the recent general election in India. Over eight hundred million Indians chose a strong and dynamic leader of a right wing party to lift India to occupy an unassailable position in a growing multipolar World; where the Global leaders have lost much of their sheen and emerging ones lack Ideas. That assures Indian arrival on the Global scene to claim the leadership on the basis of ancient Indian philosophy of “Basudhe Kutumbakam” a Sanskrit couplet that considers the entire World as one family. Indian Prime Minister in his maiden address to the UNGA said a couple of things that would now redefine Global diplomacy with a new narrative on peace and prosperity of Global citizen. When the World is battered by climate change and divided by sectarian violence and war; Indian premier underscored the importance of adopting appropriate ‘life style’ change on the strength of ancient wisdom of ‘Yoga’ and ‘love of nature’ to control the impact of global warming. He spoke strongly to take stock of United Nations and to make changes to be relevant for the current times and to stop the practice of small groupings to strengthen the United Nations. In future India would champion the cause of Disarmament & Development to achieve Millennium Development Goals by involving the young people from university campus all across the World. Soon Prime Minister Modi would transform India economically and also take on Global leadership that would reposition India in a growing multipolar World.
