India under Modi is intent on carving out a position of leadership in the Global South, where Russia and China now dominate. This doesn't appear to be adversarial but a complementary approach to Russia and China. India has better relations with the Global North and West and it like to play a mediating role in the transition to a multipolar world.
Modi is for integration of the Global South and East into the world order on an equal basis where the historical dichotomy between colonial powers and colonies is relegated to history and both geopolitics and geoeconomics are no longer dominated by the colonial powers. After all, Russia, China, Iran, India, the Islamic world and others were formerly imperial powers as well. It is time to put that behind us and go ahead on an equal footing where not only the rights of all are respected but also the different traditions and cultures.
World trade should be free and open in Modi's view. Unilateral sanctions are a violation of this principle.
Reform of the UN includes India's accession to the Security Council, in line with its size, power, and global influence.
