Please join for the release of a new book, Vishwa Shastra: India and the World by Dhruva Jaishankar, Executive Director of ORF America. Published by Penguin India, Vishwa Shastra is meant as an introduction to India in international affairs. It describes a long history of India's interactions with the world, from ancient times to the present day. Speaking to a wide audience that includes policymakers, scholars and especially students, the book offers both rich historical context and forward-looking strategies for India. Balanced, comprehensive and rigorous, Vishwa Shastra gives us a clear-eyed perspective on how India might actually define the emerging world order.
