Abhijit Chavda: India’s Rising Position on the Grand Chessboard

Indian geopolitical analyst, scientist, and podcaster Abhijit Chavda explores India’s evolving role in global geopolitics, particularly amid the rise of multipolarity and intensifying U.S.-China tensions. Chavda highlights India's strategic shift from post-independence nonalignment to an increasingly assertive global presence under Prime Minister Modi. He discusses India’s geographic advantages, economic growth, and ambition to become a major manufacturing hub despite internal challenges like bureaucracy and inadequate education systems. The conversation touches on India's desire to maintain positive relations with both Western and Eastern blocs, while avoiding entanglement in great power rivalries. They also address Western perceptions of India, growing xenophobia, and the implications of AI and technological arms races, concluding that the U.S. remains the dominant superpower but faces critical decisions in a rapidly changing global order. *Support Geopolitics & Empire!
