Transformative Impact of the Indian Diaspora on Bharat's Development: A Study of Policy Implications and Strategic Frameworks
The Indian diaspora has brought a significant benefit to India's development, particularly through skilled knowledge and remittances. With strategic capabilities, they can support India's key development initiatives promptly. By balancing their participation with effective outreach to harness their influence, the government of India and other organisations can strengthen relationships, enabling the diaspora to play a facilitating role in policy initiatives. They play a transformative role in enhancing India's economic strength, cultural reach, and diplomatic influence. This study provides a contemporary analysis of the various contributions of the Indian diaspora, particularly in supporting India's progress and strengthening its position. Key areas of focus include economic contributions- remittances, technology transfer, and investments in key sectors such as real estate and technology- and cultural diplomacy, international lobbying, and the diaspora's influence in political spheres.

This article delineates democratic principles within the rich historical and cultural traditions of India. It also examines how ancient and early medieval traditions, social structures and political systems promoted ideas of participation, debate and representation, laying the foundation for democratic practices in modern India. Exploring the roots of representative democracy is often linked to Greek tradition. Some scholars believe that democracy is a purely Western concept, while others argue that it is compatible with other cultures, like India. After independence, when India adopted the Westminster model of parliamentary democracy, some Western scholars criticised it, claiming it was a Western plant trying to grow on unsuitable soil. However, democracy in India has survived and thrived, while many other newly independent countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America failed to do so just after the Second World War. Why has democracy succeeded in India? One answer lies in India’s traditions, which have many democratic elements. Some scholars have argued that India’s democracy is only possible because of Jawaharlal Nehru’s strong belief in liberal democracy. However, India’s tradition tells a different story. This study explores the historical origins of democracy in India and emphasises the enduring nature of democracy as a way of life.

When the news rushed around the world on 5 August 2024 that Sheikh Hasina stepped down as prime minister amid massive protests in Dhaka, the global community took it as a surprise. Eventually, she failed to perceive a clear sign of her imminent downfall. This article addresses the gap in understanding how Bangladesh’s democratic institutions navigate the gulf between regime changes and resilient political institutions that form a stable democracy. This examines institutional frameworks and political dynamics, exploring the challenges to democracy during regime transitions. This article analyses political transitions and institutional structures in Bangladesh using a qualitative methodology, using secondary data from literature, reports and media sources to examine the role of popular uprisings and the strength of democratic institutions. Bangladesh is experiencing a crucial democratic transition, and weak institutions pose a risk of instability and the influence of non-state actors. A caretaker government is seen as a way to revive political competition, but rising social and religious tensions threaten stability. Sustaining democracy depends on strengthening institutions and governance, ensuring resilience against unrest, and fostering a credible system to restore public confidence. This article concludes that popular uprisings can trigger regime changes, but the survival of democracy depends on robust and resilient democratic institutions.

The post-World War II landscape underwent a seismic shift, crystallising into a bipolar structure with the US-led West facing off against the Soviet Union, instigating the Cold War. However, the USSR's collapse in 1991 shattered this bipolarity, ushering in an era of American dominance (unipolarity). Yet, this once unassailable US-led global order is undergoing rapid contraction. In its wake, a fresh paradigm is unfolding as novel power centres coalesce to address shared dissatisfactions. Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran forge convergences, beckoning others to unite against US-led supremacy. Astonishingly, Saudi Arabia aligns with the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) as a dialogue partner, relegating its erstwhile oil-for-security doctrine to antiquity. Simultaneously, the Brazilian President advocates terminating dollar supremacy. In a bold affront, Russia challenges the US world order through its Ukrainian incursion. Notably, Emmanuel Macron declares Taiwan beyond the West's scope, potentially puncturing American hegemony. This paper fervently explores how the burgeoning multipolar world order engenders arenas for regional powers, scrutinising the prospects and hurdles that confront New Delhi as it navigates India’s foreign policy.
