Indian Diplomacy: The Indian Century

Discussion between foreign affairs expert Dr. Sreeram Chaulia and public markets investor and author Harsh Madhusudan about India’s rise to the highest levels of power in the world. Themes covered include the factors driving India’s fast-paced economic growth, the meaning of economic self-reliance amid global headwinds, the importance of India’s civilisation and culture in propelling its rise, self-belief and drive in the younger generation of Indians to be the best in the world, and internal and external risks and obstacles in India’s long march to greatness.

India’s steady rise as the world’s fastest-growing major economy—with projected 6.5% GDP growth despite global trade tensions and tariffs—reflects its structural resilience, expanding domestic demand, and focus on self-reliance under PM Modi government. Unlike pre-1991 autarky, today’s Atmanirbhar Bharat emphasizes innovation, competitiveness, and global integration, aiming to make India a producer for both domestic and world markets. Rooted in its civilizational identity and the dharmic ethos outlined in The New Idea of India, the nation’s resurgence blends cultural confidence with economic ambition. Realizing visions like Viksit Bharat and becoming a “Leading Power” will require deepened self-belief, especially among youth, to pursue excellence with purpose. Yet, India’s ascent will face both internal challenges and external resistance from established powers, demanding strategic patience, unity, and diplomatic agility to sustain its rise as a global leader by mid-century.
