IDEALISM REALISM REALPOLITIK 1. Should India make this leap to the high table without bringing up its economic bottom-line?
2. Can India be a world power without taking its neighbours on board? 3. Is the world too intertwined for bilateral alliances or enmities to define our relationships ? 4. If connectivity is the new currency, should India pursue connectivity at all costs? 5. What will India do if it makes it to the world leadership position it so desires?
