The world is in tumult as a result of sharp differences over ideology and governance systems,
territorial conflicts, military aggression, and the weaponization of trade and technology. A gridlocked
multilateral order has adversely impacted peace and stability, post-pandemic economic recovery,
climate action and green transitions, among other major priorities before the global community.

Nonetheless, there is a ray of hope. The churn in the Indo-Pacific, the pushback against regional
hegemonism, and the thrust on resilient supply chains and unfettered developmental finance are
bringing together like-minded partners to secure a better future.
India, in recent decades, has demonstrated a capacity and willingness to play a bigger role on the global stage. India’s successful G20 presidency drew upon its civilizational ethos of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family) to forge consensus. Its ethical and values-based approach provides an alternative future for humanity.

Today, India has emerged as the fastest-growing large economy in the world. The goal of making
India a developed nation—Viksit Bharat—by 2047 is within grasp. Surakshit Bharat (a secure and
militarily resilient India) and an Atmanirbhar Bharat (a self-reliant India) are integral to India’s
emergence as a beacon of progress in an era of instability.

Against the backdrop of global chaos, there are green shoots of stability and progress as well. Sujan
Chinoy has meticulously documented the unfolding geostrategic events over the last few years
and presents to his readers Global Tumult: India As A Pole Star. He delves into India’s foreign and
defence policies, and its achievements, from his vantage point as head of India’s largest defence and
security think-tank.
