India Should Have Said Yes to China | Chandran Nair

For over 400 years, Western powers shaped the global order. But that dominance is now being challenged by the non-West, and the consequences of this shift will shape a great part of all our futures. In a recent webinar hosted by the New Socialist Initiative, our Founder & CEO, Chandran Nair, argues that the most consequential geopolitical relationship of the 21st century is between China and India, the Dragon and the Elephant. Together, these two civilisational states represent nearly 3 billion people and will play a defining role in shaping a multipolar world. He explores the legacies of colonialism, China’s rapid transformation, India’s strategic choices and development challenges, and why India remains sceptical of China despite Asia’s growing centrality. --- 💡 Subscribe for more conversations on Asia and global futures:    / @globalinstitutefortomorrow   Follow us on LinkedIn for the latest insights:   / global-institute-for-tomorrow   Visit our website for more information: https://global-inst.com/ --- The New Socialist Initiative is a platform for political discussion and dialogue that brings together thinkers and activists to explore socialist ideas, global issues, and alternative perspectives on economics, society, and governance. 📌 YouTube:    / @nsidelhi   📌 Facebook:   / newsocialistinitiative.nsi
