In a decade marked by global crises, technological revolutions and new geopolitical rivalries, India has transformed its role on the world stage. With the unique gaze of someone who has been at the center of decisions, Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar recounts the transition from defensive diplomacy to an assertive and respected presence, capable of affecting the international agenda. Through a wide-ranging analysis, the author explores challenges and opportunities: from the confrontation with China and the United States to the fight against terrorism, from the management of the pandemic to protagonism in the G20. What emerges is the portrait of a "New India", self-confident, proud of its roots and projected into the future like Bharat, a reliable global partner.

A book that combines analysis, experience and vision, showing how foreign policy is not far from everyday life, but contributes concretely to the security, progress and aspirations of every citizen.

Participation is free upon registration.
