POPULARITY
Lisa Curtis, senior fellow and director of the Indo-Pacific Security Program at Center for a New American Security, and Milan Vaishnav, senior fellow and director of the South Asia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, discuss the geopolitical implications of India's general elections and the influence of religion on politics in India. Alyssa Ayres, dean of the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University and adjunct senior fellow for India, Pakistan, and South Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations, moderates the discussion.
India has enormous momentum. Its population has surpassed China's, making it the most populous country in the world. Its economy is expected to become the world's third largest in the next few years. And, as much as any country, it seems positioned to take today's geopolitical tensions and turn them to its advantage. The country's prime minister, Narendra Modi, is expected to win a third term in office this spring, cementing his own political dominance. But that has come with a dark side—an assault on civil rights and democracy, which some warn will ultimately hinder India. To address Modi's third term and India's future more broadly, Foreign Affairs editor Daniel Kurtz-Phelan moderated a panel including Alyssa Ayres, Ashley J. Tellis, and Pratap Bhanu Mehta. Ayres is Dean of the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University and an Adjunct Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. Tellis is the Tata Chair for Strategic Affairs and a Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. And Mehta is Laurence S. Rockefeller Visiting Professor for Distinguished Teaching at Princeton University.

Dr. Alyssa Ayres first arrived in India in 1990 when the country’s political and economic future appeared uncertain – since then, she has closely followed Delhi’s growing confidence on the world’s stage and the international community’s expanding interest in India. Capturing this transformation in her newest book, “Our Time Has Come,” Dr. Ayres joins Tea Leaves to highlight the opportunities and also the persistent challenges that India faces in the decade ahead. With an eye to the future, she places particular emphasis on how China’s explosive emergence has simultaneously shaped India’s own aspirations and presented unprecedented challenges through its increased presence in the Indian Ocean. With this in the backdrop, Dr. Ayres and the Tea Leaves hosts engage in an exciting discussion on what all this means for India’s status in the world, its relationship with Pakistan and Bangladesh, and its ties with the United States.
