The Indo-US relationship is collapsing and it might be the best thing to happen to India in 500 years. While Washington lectures Delhi about democracy, India is quietly playing a very different game.
In this episode, I explain why America's "with us or against us" demands are backfiring, how declining empires always behave when threatened, and why India's refusal to submit marks the end of Western hegemony.
What I discuss:
How Spain, Britain, and the USSR collapsed and why America is next
The Arthashastra playbook Chanakya wrote 2,000 years ago
Why India and China reclaiming 40% of global GDP is a return to historical norms
Strategic autonomy in action
Germany's fatal mistake and what India must learn
How civilizational patience beats imperial panic
Why this breakdown isn't a crisis but India's graduation to true independence
