India isn’t just reacting to global shifts — it’s working, slowly and deliberately, to shape the emerging order on its own terms. But to truly grasp India’s strategic behavior, you need more than headlines or GDP stats. You need to read it the way Indian strategists and decision-makers do — through lenses of history, identity, and long memory.

This live interactive course gives you that perspective.

Across two 90-minute sessions, we explore how India sees the world — and itself — and how those worldviews translate into policy signals, alignments, and strategic choices. Each session is fully live, informal, and interactive, with space for open discussion and Q&A throughout.

What you’ll learn:

Session 1: India’s Strategic Lens
– Civilizational identity, colonial aftershocks, and modern strategic culture
– Domestic pressures: federalism, public opinion, and national cohesion

Session 2: India in a Multipolar World
– India's balancing act between power centers (U.S., Russia, China)
– Its emerging posture in Asia, the Global South, and multilateral spaces

Why it matters:

India is not just a rising power — it’s a civilizational state with a strategic vision shaped by history, values, and global ambition. Understanding India’s external behavior requires seeing how it balances tradition with pragmatism, autonomy with alignment. This course helps you grasp India’s logic on its own terms — crucial for anticipating its role in global order and regional dynamics.
