Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Drawing on the erudition and diplomatic insight of former Vice President of India M. Hamid Ansari, Arguably Contentious: Thoughts on a Divided World presents a compelling exploration of India's political, social and cultural realities in an era of rapid change. With the measured voice of a statesman and the depth of a scholar, the book reflects on the challenges confronting Indian democracy: rising social divisions, the fragility of secularism, and the contest over the idea of India itself. Beyond domestic concerns, the book turns a discerning gaze towards global affairs, particularly West Asia-a region with which India shares enduring civilizational, cultural and strategic ties. Ansari examines the shifting sands of West Asian geopolitics, from the turbulence of the Arab Spring to the recalibration of great power relations, and offers nuanced perspectives on how India can navigate these complexities while upholding its values and interests. Blending analysis with historical context, the book brings together the author's writings, lectures and speeches to illuminate how diplomacy, pluralism and policy intersect in shaping India's place in the world.
