from Going Underground Hosted by Afshin Rattansi · host Going Underground

On this episode of New Order, we speak to the Former Chief of India’s Research & Analysis Wing Vikram Sood. He discusses why Prime Minister Narendra Modi isn’t personally attending the funeral of Ayatollah Khamenei, Trump’s potential pivot to Ukraine after the war on Iran and whether India is in a better position to deal with threats from the Trump Administration, why Russia, China and India working together could be a formidable power bloc and send a powerful message to the world, the internal and external pressures India faces, the weaponisation of human rights by the West and the importance of soft power for India such as film and culture, the importance of the Chabahar Port in Iran for India’s national security, and much more.  Finally, New Order’s Zarah Khan asks questions from you the viewers to Afshin Rattansi.
