    In this episode, Saurabh Samdani sits down with Manoj Joshi — Distinguished Fellow at the Observer Research Foundation, veteran journalist, and one of India's sharpest strategic minds — for a conversation that puts India's place in the world under a hard, honest lens. The post-WW2 global order is crumbling. America is undermining the very systems it built. China's economy is five times larger than India's. And India — for all its ambition — remains largely a side player in the world's biggest conflicts. This is the geopolitical conversation India needs to have. What you'll learn: Why the UN, World Bank and WTO-led world order is collapsing — and what comes nextHow "America First" is ironically making the world more independent from AmericaThe honest truth about India's actual leverage on the global stageWhy China went from equal to India in 1990 to five times larger todayWhat India must do differently — manufacturing, jobs, and eliminating povertyWhy absorbing and reinnovating technology matters more than just buying it
