Had a fascinating discussion with Brig Arun Sahgal (R). We covered a wide canvas beginning with the Contours of Global Order as it reshapes itself. Aspects covered were wars and major disruptions, China – US strategic competition, and emerging power alignments in the Indo – Pacific. Dwelt upon the knotty India – US equations, present and foreseeable under Trump. We discussed India’s strategic neighbourhood which is deteriorating. Implications of India are clear. We need to have a set of implementable policy options and responses spanning strategic, tech, military, diplomatic and economic domains in case we are to rise as a regional power.
