Ram Madhav's Call to Prepare for Tomorrow

In an intellectually charged evening at the India Habitat Centre on June 23, 2025, Ram Madhav, political thinker, author, and public intellectual, unveiled his latest book, The New World: 21st-Century Global Order and India, at a special event hosted by the India Foundation. The occasion was graced by the presence of the Hon'ble Vice President of India, Shri Jagdeep Dhankhar, along with several prominent dignitaries, scholars, and members of the strategic affairs community.

Speaking at the release function, Ram Madhav addressed the audience with a mix of humour, humility, and sharp insight into the evolving global dynamics. He acknowledged the enthusiastic turnout, expressing gratitude to the Vice President and others on the dais for taking time to attend the ceremony.

While naturally tempted to dive deeply into the substance of his book, the author jokingly restrained himself. “As the author, I would, of course, love to speak at length about the book,” he said, “but my publisher has gently warned me not to give too much away! After all, if I share everything now, you may not feel the need to read it yourselves.”

At the heart of Madhav’s remarks was a call for introspection on a concept that has become ubiquitous yet often remains ill-defined: the new world order. “Today, we often hear the phrase ‘new world order’ in public discourse,” he noted. “It’s a term that gets thrown around with increasing frequency—yet, how many of us actually pause to ask: What does it truly mean?”
