India's Strategic Triad Reforms Aim to Enhance Global Influence
India is undertaking strategic triad reforms to redefine its geopolitical stance by balancing power, purpose, and partnership. This involves leveraging smart power, a blend of coercive force and persuasive influence, to mediate international conflicts and resolve disputes. The reforms are part of a broader strategy to transition from a passive global participant to a trusted influencer, focusing on reform, digital transformation, and international cooperation. These efforts are aimed at making India a resilient and globally competitive economy, capable of playing a defining role in the new world order. The reforms are occurring amidst a structural geopolitical transition from the post-Cold War order to a multipolar world shaped by technological transformation, fragmented globalization, and regional conflicts.
