What role should India play on the world stage?

In Pax Indica India And The World Of The 21st Century, Shashi Tharoor offers a thoughtful and ambitious look at India’s foreign policy, its global relationships, and how the country can assert itself with purpose and principle. Blending personal diplomatic experience with razor-sharp insight, Tharoor outlines a clear, compelling vision for India in a rapidly changing global order.

This isn’t a dry policy manual. Tharoor's writing is vivid, intelligent, and often poetic. He takes readers through India's relationships with the United States, China, Pakistan, and beyond, while also reflecting on global institutions, soft power, diaspora diplomacy, and India's civilizational strengths. Every chapter builds toward a larger question: how can India be both a responsible global power and a champion of its own national interests?

For anyone interested in international relations, global strategy, or the future of India, this book is a must-read. It’s not only intellectually enriching, but also surprisingly accessible — even if you’re new to geopolitics.
