A special tribute must be paid to the strategy guru of IDSA, K. Subrahmanyam, whose clarity of ideas influenced a whole generation of thinkers and policy-makers and shaped the course of India's geopolitics for over 40 tumultuous years. Contact, albeit fleeting, with this profound thinker greatly influenced the writer's geopolitical concepts, particularly Subrahmanyam's theory of "Multi-polar" versus the then prevalent "Bi-Polar" world.visualizza meno
