Using the prism of Kautilya's Arthashastra and other ancient treatises on statecraft, the author shows the historical sources of India's worldview.
The author looks at India's neighbourhood and the changing wider world through this lens and arrives at fascinating conclusions- the claims that the world is hurtling towards Chinese unipolarity are overblown; international borders are becoming irrelevant as climate change and cyber terror bypass them; and India shouldn't hold its breath for a resolution to its border disputes with China and Pakistan in the foreseeable future. It takes the reader behind the closed doors of the most nail-biting negotiations and top-level interactions - from Barack Obama popping by a tense developing country strategy meeting at the Copenhagen climate change summit to the private celebratory dinner thrown by then US President George W. Bush for then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the success of the nuclear deal.
