Dr. Happymon Jacob speaks to Amb. Talmiz Ahmad (Retd. Indian Diplomat and Author) about the emerging geopolitical situation in West Asia. He builds on his analysis of the region in the previous episode (Ep. 66: Part 1) to suggest the imperative and avenues for increasing the Indian role in the region. He speaks of Eurasia and the Indian Ocean Region as one integrated security space with deep historical connectivity, and argues for greater Indian involvement in the region. He also identifies several misnomers and psychological barriers that have so far dampened India’s attitude towards the region and hindered the prospects for cooperation and security in a broader sense.
