Understand The History of Geopolitics to Predict the Future ft. Professor J.P. Sharma

Geopolitics through first principles. In this episode, Professor J.P. Sharma traces the arc from Westphalia and the World Wars to today’s chaotic, multipolar order—and shows how history helps predict the future. We dive into nationalism vs. liberalism, the Cold War and Non-Alignment, UN limits, Ukraine and Israel-Gaza, and India’s strategic tightrope between the U.S., Russia, and China (tariffs, energy, defense, neighbors & soft power).

Expect clear mental models to read headlines better, a sharp take on where India stands now, and what choices can shape a prosperous future.

Watch till the end, share your take in the comments, and subscribe for more deep, no-noise conversations.
