These days, the world of Indian politics and policy appears to be moving at warp speed—even by Indian standards. To make sense of all the latest developments out of India, this week Milan is joined by Grand Tamasha regulars—Sadanand Dhume of the American Enterprise Institute and the Wall Street Journal, and Tanvi Madan of the Brookings Institution.
The trio discusses three topics. First, they examine the latest drama coming out of the Indian National Congress and discuss the race to take over India’s Grand Old Party. Second, Milan, Sadanand, and Tanvi discuss the key takeaways and controversies from External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar’s lengthy visit to the United States. And finally, the group unpacks the creeping signs of religious polarization in the Indian diaspora, stretching from Canada to the United Kingdom and to the United States.
Plus, the three share the best thing on India they’ve read in the past six months.
In this episode we discuss the role caste plays both in South Asia as well as in diasporic communities in the West. Some suggest that caste does not exist outside India, while others insist it does and protections against caste basted discrimination are necessary. These protections bring up additional concerns regarding Western stereotypes of South Asian caste in the West, and the fear of increased discrimination against South Asians in the West if discussions of caste in the West persist.

Kamala Harris became a household name in India after her nomination and victory as the Vice-President of the United States of America, alongside President Joe Biden. From WhatsApp messages to newspaper articles to TV programmes, Kamala was celebrated for her Indian heritage and ‘Indianness’. How should one truly think about Kamala Harris and her extraordinary achievements? How does the US Vice-President think about her own identity, and her politics?

While a considerable amount of world attention is focused on China’s commanding presence on the African continent and the impact of Beijing’s ambitious Belt and Road Initiative, India’s activities in Africa have received limited attention. This is indeed surprising because India has an over 2000-year presence on the continent and India-Africa relations have witnessed a major upsurge in recent years.
In its relations with African countries, India frequently highlights the economic and philanthropic contributions of the Indian diaspora, Indo-African partnership in the post-colonial period, and solidarity with and support for the Non-Aligned Movement and the fight against racism. It also often highlights Mahatma Gandhi’s role in fighting oppression in South Africa and Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s active international lobbying efforts for African independence.
Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit in 2018, New Delhi signed numerous bilateral agreements and outlined ten guiding principles for a renewed engagement with African countries. New Delhi has also, in recent years, stepped up its diplomatic presence and outreach in Africa by announcing new missions and is prioritizing the training of its foreign services personnel in French and Portuguese.
India’s diverse and deep historical footprint in Africa has been somewhat different to that of other powers and only in recent decades has the country moved from idealism to pragmatism and the explicit pursuit of commercial interests.
Renu Modi is a Professor at the University of Mumbai and Director of the University’s Centre for African Studies.
