ABOUT THE TOPIC
India sees itself as an independent pole in the world, and seeks to be a leading power. With its location, one of the largest militaries in the world, nuclear weapons, one of the fastest economic growth rates among major countries, and the largest population in the world, the choices New Delhi makes—including vis-à-vis US-China competition—will matter. As Indians go to the polls, this discussion will explore what India wants from the world and where the US and China fit into its strategy.
