Flying Blind: India's Quest for Global L

In recent years India has repeatedly expressed its ambitions of becoming a global power - or 'jagat guru'. Yet many believe that India's economic troubles at home are far more pressing and that foreign policy aspirations can wait. But is a proactive foreign policy really a 'luxury' for India to be postponed until the economy develops; or is it in fact a prerequisite for economic growth in a globalized world? Why should the average Indian citizen care about foreign policy - and how can a proactive foreign policy help Indians become more prosperous? Scanning our ever-changing world from East to West and defining India's national interests and needs Mohamed Zeeshan passionately argues that India needs a more coherent strategy for its relations with the outside world. Through travels and debates across continents Zeeshan lays out a vision for how India can champion the cause of global good.
