Reconstructing India’s Worldview

The volume opens with a foreword by Professor Harsh V. Pant and an introduction by Professor Chetan B. Singai, setting the stage for a rich exploration of how India sees the world, and how the world perceives India. Structured around two key themes, the book first advances indigenous frameworks, narratives, and terminologies for international engagement, before turning to questions of strategic culture and thought in a rapidly evolving global order. Chapters examine India’s maritime strategy, Indo-Pacific partnerships, cyber diplomacy, gendered foreign policy, regional security outlook, and emphasis on non-Western theories, offering diverse perspectives from leading academics and practitioners.
