ABOUT THIS BOOK
Seven decades ago, a new global order emerged. However, changing global dynamics have put those older ways of being under unprecedented stress. A new world order is taking shape—one defined by new agenda items alongside the traditional ones such as trade, commerce and defence.
In a post-pandemic world, these are being edged out by issues like climate change, holistic healthcare, education for innovation and creativity, as well as the management of frontier technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, blockchain and big data. Human dignity and human rights have become critical issues in this modern reality. To represent these altered actualities of the twenty-first century, global governance needs fresh ideas and novel institutions.
More than five decades ago, Deendayal Upadhyaya articulated a coherent economic philosophy, at the core of which was human-centric development.
In The Hindutva Paradigm, author and thinker Ram Madhav provides clarifying insights into the reasoning of a philosopher who has remained an enigma through the decades. At the crossroads where we stand, this refreshing and stimulating philosophy could be the answer to managing the new world order.
