About the Book: Pax Indica: India and the World of the Twenty-First Century

Pax Indica is an informative look at the Indian Foreign Policy by Shashi Tharoor who worked at the United Nations for twenty-nine years. Filled with some great insights and written in an eloquent style, the book delves less into the past of the Indian foreign policies and more into what is happening now in the twenty-first century and how these circumstances impact India.

Shashi Tharoor has critically analysed India's foreign policies and has with a very clear, non-biased viewpoint explored the many relationships the sub-continent has forged globally. He has a fresh take on the policies and ideologies that surround the relationships between India and Pakistan, India and China and India and the United States. He has even given some insight into improving India and Africa, as well as India and Latin America relationships. With a career spanning almost thirty years in the United Nations, Tharoor's understanding of the Indian foreign policy, it's standing in the United Nations as well as its place in the global politics is very impressive. The authors vision of India, how he sees it now and how he sees it in the future, are thought provoking and inspiring. This book is perfect for those who have a keen interest in India, it's foreign policies, diplomacy and world affairs in the twenty-first century.
