Through a billion voices: India's role in a multi-polar world

Through a billion voices: India's role in a multi-polar world

As the saying goes, India, with its multifaceted diversity, is not easy to categorise. A 21st century global power or a poor developing country? An economy based on cutting edge technology or subsistence level agriculture? A liberal secular state or a deeply religious society? An ancient and traditional civilization or a culture that is rapidly modernising? The questions, paradoxes and possibilities are infinite.

This Foresight reader analyses these issues by comparing the perspectives of Indian and non-Indian authors on three critical global challenges: sustaining economic globalisation; combating terrorism in the South Asian region; and ensuring resource security.
