85. How India is becoming the real leader of the free and fair world.

India is emerging as one of the most important powers in the world, and is demanding change in the world order on behalf of the Global South.  

In 2023 India became the largest country by population in the world, surpassing China. It is now the third largest economy by PPP in the world. It has growing soft power, based on its ancient, rich and diverse cultures. It is the world's largest democracy, and was for many years the leader of the non-aligned movement. All that is missing is a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.  

With America in decline, has India become the world's best hope as the true leader of the free - and fair - world?
