In this episode of Ripple Effect, Michael and Steve are joined by Shivshankar Menon, Crisis Group trustee and former Indian National Security Adviser and Foreign Secretary, to talk about India’s perspective on the U.S. election, what a second Trump presidency would mean for relations between New Delhi and Washington, how bilateral relations have evolved under President Biden’s administration and how India is carving out its place in a changing world order. They discuss how India views the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, its evolving relations with Russia and Israel, and New Dheli’s perspective on the U.S.-China rivalry. They also discuss the state of democracy in the U.S. and, more broadly, the potential ramifications of the upcoming elections for international peace and security.
