Through essays, commentary, and analytical reporting, The Hind aims to provide clear and rigorous perspectives on the forces shaping global affairs.
Founding Statement
The early decades of the twenty-first century are marked by profound geopolitical, economic, and technological change. The international order is undergoing a period of transition as new centers of power emerge, strategic rivalries intensify, and global institutions confront new challenges.
In this changing landscape, India’s role in global affairs is expanding. As one of the world’s largest democracies and fastest-growing major economies, India will play an increasingly important role in shaping the political and economic future of the international system.
The Hind was founded to contribute to a deeper understanding of these developments. The publication seeks to examine the ideas, policies, and strategic debates that will influence India’s trajectory and its engagement with the wider world.
The Hind is guided by the belief that serious analysis and open debate are essential to understanding complex global challenges. By bringing together perspectives on geopolitics, economic strategy, security affairs, and public policy, the publication aims to foster informed discussion on the forces shaping the international order.
Through essays, commentary, and analysis, The Hind seeks to provide a platform for thoughtful engagement with the strategic questions of our time and the evolving place of India in global affairs.
