About

Once a week, Afshin Rattansi's show New Order will trace how India and its BRICS allies sit at the centre of a transformation in world history. Power is moving, alliances are shifting, and the rules of trade, technology, and security are being rewritten. How are India and the wider Global South navigating the new alignments? Which partnerships are emerging? And how do these structural changes ripple across the world into the streets, into the villages, into the markets, the boardrooms, and metropoles alike? New Order is not just about headlines. It is about diplomatic architecture: the networks of power, the flow of money, and the levers of influence that determine who gains and who loses in a world of tectonic transition. Because what we are witnessing is not just turbulence. It is a fundamental reordering.
