Raisina Chronicles celebrates a decade of the Raisina Dialogue. It brings together voices from across the world—of leaders and thinkers reflecting on the Raisina Dialogue’s impact on how we may navigate global challenges and create solutions that work. Putting India at the forefront of leading the change, the effect of these Dialogues is felt across policies and projections that the global family is working towards.
S. Jaishankar and Samir Saran, the editors, who are also the curators of the Dialogue, emphasize that diversity, dissent, discord, and divergence of opinion make for the necessary ingredients for a sustainable future, shaped and owned by all. Ten years since its inception, the Raisina Dialogue has become the paramount platform for bringing together cultures, peoples and opinions. It is now India’s flagship geopolitical and geoeconomic conference, and has truly become a global public square—located in New Delhi, incubated by the world.
In tandem with the curated discussions, Raisina Chronicles reflects on the Dialogue’s journey and brings to its readers a single volume containing thorough insights and unbridled optimism for finding common solutions to global challenges. As the world stands on the cusp of structural and historical change, the hope that is central to this work is for the voices of the people to be at the forefront of global politics and policymaking, resonating through power corridors, and finding their way to the masses. For leaders to implement change, society must come together to take that one step forward in the right direction.
