India's Sovereignty in a Changing World Order

In this critical panel discussion, Rajiv Malhotra, Ambassador Kanwal Sibal, and Sankrant Sanu examine the shifting global order through the lens of hard power and technological Swaraj. Rajiv Malhotra argues that India is currently caught in a state of internal colonization due to a fundamental lack of indigenous R&D and intellectual property. He warns that without a robust military-industrial complex, India remains vulnerable to a new form of digital colonization led by the US-China duopoly.The conversation moves beyond mere narrative warfare to address the "root cause" of India's dependency: the failure of the left-liberal ecosystem and short-term Jugaad thinking to invest in foundational technologies like AI and semiconductors. The speakers challenge the current industrial policy, noting that while India has "lakhs of engineers," they are often reduced to modern-day sepoys serving foreign predator civilizations through global capability centers that own the IP developed by Indian brains.Who Is Raising Your Children? - For Consciousness Theory - in the Ganga - Jati Caste - Battle For IIT's - of future Machines - heads of Ravana - support Infinity Foundation’s projects including the continuation of such episodes and the research we do:इनफिनिटी फ़ौंडेशन की परियोजनाओं को अनुदान देने के लिए व इस प्रकार के एपिसोड और हमारे द्वारा किये जाने वाले शोध को जारी रखने के लिए:
