I chat with Samir Saran from the Observer Research Foundation (ORF), one of Asia’s most influential think tanks about the journey of Indian Foreign Policy. We touch upon the era of Non-Alignment and the current India-China conflict and its repercussions on the future of our foreign policy. We also touch upon some of the philosophical foundations that enable the formulation of a nation’s Foreign Policy. Can India have its own unique Drishti/Gaze when it comes to Foreign Policy?
