Sujan R. Chinoy is Director General of the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi. He is a career diplomat who served in the Indian Foreign Service from 1981 to 2018.
<p>"After oscillating between multipolarity, bipolarity and unipolarity over the past decades, the world is back to a multipolar moment, with the US, China and Russia forming significant poles in global power play. Power is fractured today and new permutations and combinations are playing out. The pandemic and Russia's war in the Ukraine have added to the fragility of global consensus.</p><p>This is therefore an extraordinary time for India to find its moment in the geopolitical sun. Will it play to its strengths and rise on the global stage? Or, will it remain in historic alliances? In this insightful new book, Sujan Chinoy brings his considerable diplomatic expertise to bear on the key question - how is India recalibrating its strategic thinking to make sense of a world that often, and increasingly, seems upside down?"</p><div><br></div>
