This week, we look at the #RaisinaDialogue held in Delhi this week, and whether India’s position is defensive, or a call for a new non-aligned posture for the world in the throes of great power conflict? Sparks flew across the Raisina sessions, where a number of European Foreign Ministers and officials, led by European Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen hardened positions on Russia, and called on India to reconsider its position on the conflict in #Ukraine. During her speech, and when the Foreign Ministers came face to face at a townhall with External Affairs Minister #Jaishankar, many questions were asked. Many are now asking if - after 8 years in power, the Modi government is re-embracing India’s older principles of non-alignment, at a time when the world is becoming more and more divided between the US and Europe on one side, and #Russia and #China.
