VICII: Unstoppable India: The Rise of a Global Power 02/08/2023

From VICII:

India, the largest Democracy in the world and the former jewel of the British Empire, is about to become the most populated country on earth. It is part of an increasingly powerful economic bloc called BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), which may challenge the economic hegemony of the United States. India is also a non-aligned nation. Join Sandy Baird and Lawyer and Citizen Journalist Kurt Mehta - after his return from Delhi to Burlington, VT - to have a look at India today, as it becomes an important global power unaligned and independent of either East or West, and one of the most important players in world politics.
