Event Description : Ananta Aspen Centre presents "The Making of Indian Diplomacy" Book Discussion.
Is Indian Diplomacy simply a derivative of European colonial models? On the basis of observed practices, and informal interactions and interviews with Ministers and diplomats, the author argues that the core of Indian diplomatic practice is to be found in the national epic, the Mahabharata, whose influence he traces from pre-Mughal times to the present. Further investigation of Indian diplomacy reveals its non-Western rationale, while its presence at the heart of a state presumed Western at inception reveals new possibilities about how to conceptualize post-colonial India, its purpose and role on the world stage. While nation states authorised by nationalism remain hostage to the past, the Indian state's arena for action is very much the present, as is rational its objective of non-violently terminating violence. The event will in the process shed new light on the current nature of the Indian state.
Speaker: Mr. Deep K. Datta-Ray, Assistant Professor, Jindal School of International Affairs and Author of “The Making of Indian Diplomacy: A Critique of Eurocentrism”
Chair: Dr. Faisal Devji, Reader in Indian History, St. Antony's College, University of Oxford
