Vishwamitra Bharat (विश्वामित्र भारत)
जागतिक क्रमवारीत उन्नत होण्याचा भारताचा प्रयत्न हा एक संतत प्रवास आहे. परंतु आपण केलेल्या प्रगतीचा आढावा घेत असताना आणि पुढील आव्हानांचा अंदाज घेत असताना, हा प्रवास प्रखर राष्ट्रीय बांधिलकी आणि आत्मविश्वासाने प्रेरित असणे ही गोष्ट खरेच खूप आश्वासक आहे. स्वतःच्या वारसा आणि संस्कृतीतून बळ मिळवणारा असो किंवा लोकशाही आणि तंत्रज्ञानाच्या आशेवर आव्हानांना सामोरा जाणारा असो, हा नक्कीच नवा भारत आहे. स्वतःचे हितसंबंध ठरवू शकणारा, स्वतःची भूमिका स्पष्ट करणारा, स्वतःचे उपाय स्वतः शोधू शकणारा आणि स्वतःचे मॉडेल पुढे नेणारा भारत. थोडक्यात एक असा भारत, जो अधिक भारत आहे.

Why Bharat Matters
Whether drawing strength from its heritage and culture or approaching challenges with the optimism of democracy and technology, this is certainly a New India—an India that is more Bharat. This is not just a tough world but also a turbulent and unpredictable one. It is marked by the impact of Covid, conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia, climate events, radicalization and terrorism. There is complex geopolitics at work, such as the rise of China, the changed posture of the United States, the strategy of Russia, the impact of globalization and the power of new technologies. India seeks to navigate these stormy seas without diluting its focus on becoming a leading power. As a vishwa mitra, it seeks the well-being of the Global South and to contribute to global good. India is more salient in global calculations and stands ready to embrace coming responsibilities and opportunities. Entering the Amrit Kaal, it visualizes an era of growth and development while staying true to its traditions and heritage. In Why Bharat Matters, S. Jaishankar argues that while rising powers seek stability most of all, India must plan to rise amidst serious unpredictability. This process is also exceptional as it represents the rejuvenation of a civilizational state. Simultaneously, he also explains why foreign policy in a globalized world matters increasingly to all citizens in their daily lives. This book is a must-read for every Indian to understand and seriously reflect on the reality of our times that is becoming clearer with each passing day—that India matters because it is Bharat.
