On Friday, 19th May, the much-awaited book, ‘Geopolitics: Decoding intents, Narratives, Lies, and Future’, authored by the duo of K Siddhartha and Ankit Shah, was launched in the Constitution Club of India, New Delhi, by Dr Ram Madhav, Author, Thinker, Social Leader, and Founding Member of the Governing Council of India. As the title of the book suggests, the aim of this piece is to understand how geopolitics works.
The book discusses geopolitics with a new paradigm with a narrative that is India-centric and yet global, in a way that is easily understood by the masses, which makes this book a must-read for all those with newfound or prevailing interest in geopolitics, its nuances, and India’ muscular foreign policy.
This piece of writing becomes a must-read for the young generation of India, which is the future of not only the country, but the world, as it needs to be acquainted with the details of geopolitics in a way that equips them for a legacy to carry forward a Grand Chakravartin Bharat-2047.
What is additionally special about this book is that for every issue, chapter, and essay, it has a QR code, that will take the reader to the video reservoir of the same on Trans brahma/Ensemble, which will be continuously updated and hence, will evolve with time.
Post the launch, K Siddhartha, talking to GoaChronicle, said, “The basic intent behind writing this book was to let a good number of people in India understand, what the book tries to primarily say- Decoding lies, narratives, intents, and the future. Firstly, lies, these lies ultimately determine the international relations; they either make a nation or mar a nation”.
“There are some lies which have been told about India for the last 75 years or so, which have subjugated the Indian people to such an extent that lies are being accepted as truths and vice versa”, he added.
The second point the author touched upon was decoding intents, which has been done in the book by giving them a logic, highlighting that certain actions like the spread of lives at a global level are not spontaneous, but have a particular intention behind them. He further said, “Next, narratives are carefully seeded, which could be seen during the farmers’ agitation or the anti-CAA protests. Similarly, narratives have always been set about India and its civilization by the western world at a global level”.
The book delves into how such narratives can be dismantled for a brighter future of our nation, by the year 2047, which will mark 100 years of our independence from British rule.
