India's Major Role In New World Order

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and ORF president Samir Saran, who talked about a book on current affairs, describe the chaos or disorder the world is currently in, where the international liberal order is facing a moment of crisis and other leaders are exploiting the grievances - real or imagined - of their citizens to champion local interests. The authors argue that in this new world order, India has a major role to play, and importantly, that India's sustained commitment to constitutional democracy is a key factor to scripting a new international order. These are interesting times, they say, as India has captured global headlines recently for exactly the opposite reasons over scrapping special status to Jammu and Kashmir and the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.
