‘India’s Positioning Is Very Distinct’

Will Donald Trump become President of the United States again? What are the real issues for the American voter? Are we really ready for multilateralism? Why is everyone suddenly wooing the Global South?

Those are some of the questions we asked Dr Leslie Vinjamuri, Director, US and the Americas Programme; Chair of Faculty, Queen Elizabeth II Academy for Leadership in International Affairs at Chatham House, where she heads research initiatives on America’s Changing Global Role, Reimagining Multilateralism, and the US, Geopolitics, and the Global South.

Speaking to StratNews Global on the sidelines of the Raisina Dialogue 2024, Dr Vinjamuri tackled all those questions without pulling any punches. Her domain expertise, combined with a natural wit, makes this video a must watch for anyone wanting to understand these issues.

In a career spanning over three decades and counting, I’ve been the Foreign Editor of The Telegraph, Outlook Magazine and The New Indian Express. I helped set up rediff.com’s editorial operations in San Jose and New York, helmed sify.com, and was the founder editor of India.com.

My work has featured in national and international publications like the Al Jazeera Centre for Studies, Global Times and The Asahi Shimbun. My one constant over all these years, however, has been the attempt to understand rising India’s place in the world.

On demand, I can rustle up a mean salad, my oil-less pepper chicken is to die for, and depending on the time of the day, all it takes to rock my soul is some beer and some jazz or good ole rhythm & blues.

Talk to me about foreign and strategic affairs, media, South Asia, China, and of course India.
