Global Tumult: India As A Pole Star – Sujan Chinoy

The world is in a state of deep tumult, fractured by sharp ideological divides, volatile territorial conflicts, military aggression, and the aggressive weaponization of trade and technology. A gridlocked multilateral order has severely stalled global peace, post-pandemic economic recovery, urgent climate action, and green energy transitions.

Yet, amidst this global chaos, a ray of hope is emerging. The geopolitical churn in the Indo-Pacific, the growing pushback against regional hegemonism, and a renewed global thrust on building resilient supply chains are bringing like-minded nations together to secure a stable future. Standing at the center of this transition is India.

In Global Tumult: India As A Pole Star, Ambassador Sujan Chinoy meticulously analyzes unfolding geostrategic events from his unique vantage point as the head of India’s premier defense and security think-tank. He explores how India has demonstrated both the capacity and the willingness to step up as a stabilizing force on the global stage. Drawing from its civilizational ethos of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family), India’s successful G20 presidency forged an elusive global consensus, offering an ethical, values-based alternative for humanity's shared future.

Now the fastest-growing major economy in the world, India's blueprint for the future is clear. Chinoy delves deep into how the pillars of Surakshit Bharat (a secure, militarily resilient nation) and Atmanirbhar Bharat (a self-reliant economy) are driving the country toward its ultimate goal: becoming a fully developed nation—Viksit Bharat—by 2047. This book is an indispensable read for anyone looking to understand modern foreign policy, international relations, and India's rising role as a beacon of progress in an era of instability.
