Day 1-How India will redesign the World
The world was last designed seventy-five years ago.
This is the time to look at a world redesign beyond the narrow national interests, to one which would serve the best interests of people and our planet.
In the late nineteenth century, the three great powers were imperial Britain, the United States, and a rising Germany. In the mid-twentieth century, the US, Britain and the Soviet Union formed the dominant troika.
As the twenty-first century enters its second quartile, the three most important nations will be the US, China, and India.
The most remarkable phenomenon in Asia in the 21st century is arguably the economic rise of China and India. Amazingly, the two most populous countries in the world are uplifting millions of their citizens annually from poverty through rapid economic growth. India will be the third largest economy in the world by 2030.
