In today's episode, we sit down with Sreeram Chaulia, Professor & Dean at the Jindal School of International Affairs, a foreign affairs expert, author, and TV show host who has spent years decoding how nations actually think and behave on the world stage.
We talk about why India refuses to sign a formal alliance with any global power, and why he compares this to a 'live-in relationship' rather than a marriage. He breaks down India's equation with Japan, the US, Russia, France, Israel, and the UAE, explaining what each partnership is really built on, and where the friction quietly lies. He also shares his sharpest take on what it actually takes for a country to become a superpower in the 21st century, and why that playbook has changed from every era before it.
You'll never look at global politics the same way again, this one will change how you think about power, friendship, and what it actually takes for a country to rise.
