Why Bharat Matters | S. Jaishankar | Sanjeev Sanyal | Delhi University Literature Fest 2025 | SRCC

'Why Bharat Matters' at the #DSGroup Delhi University Literature Festival 2025 involves two prodigies, deliberating upon India's unmissable role in shaping the new multipolar order and global politics. They draw insights from history and tradition, including the epic 'Ramayana' to understand how historically Bharat has had a sense of understanding diplomacy. The conversation revolves around the less focused but important aspects of understanding the ascent of an emerging superpower, for instance, the power of Bharat in the Indian Ocean Region, reimagining security, Bangladesh & China in 2025 and India's Foreign Minister's advice to the students of Delhi University. Follow along to understand Bharat's role in shaping the new world.
