Bilal Baloch on India - Pivotal or Pivoted in the Changing World Order? #FPABriefings

Foreign Press Association USA

Especially under Prime Minister Modi, India is a swing vote in every sense. After decades of rule by Congress which hovered between Russia and the Non-Aligned, the Bharatiya Janata Party swung towards the USA, but now seems to have discovered the joys of triangulation, between Russia, China, and the US while always looking at Pakistan.
At home, communitarian politics has risks and rewards electorally. Bilal Baloch, author of When Ideas Matter: Democracy and Corruption in India, and an advisor and speaker on geopolitical, business, and investment risk in emerging and frontier markets, looks at this in relation to India’s abstentions on Ukraine, surprising for a state that has put so much emphasis on sovereignty in its international relations.
