Raisina Chronicles : India’s Global Public Square

Raisina Chronicles celebrates a decade of the Raisina Dialogue. It brings together voices from across
the world—of leaders and thinkers reflecting on the Raisina Dialogue’s impact on how we may
navigate global challenges and create solutions that work. Putting India at the forefront of leading
the change, the effect of these Dialogues is felt across policies and projections that the global family
is working towards.

S. Jaishankar and Samir Saran, the editors, who are also the curators of the Dialogue, emphasize
that diversity, dissent, discord, and divergence of opinion make for the necessary ingredients for
a sustainable future, shaped and owned by all. Ten years since its inception, the Raisina Dialogue
has become the paramount platform for bringing together cultures, peoples and opinions. It is now India’s flagship geopolitical and geoeconomic conference, and has truly become a global public
square—located in New Delhi, incubated by the world.

In tandem with the curated discussions, Raisina Chronicles reflects on the Dialogue’s journey and
brings to its readers a single volume containing thorough insights and unbridled optimism for
finding common solutions to global challenges. As the world stands on the cusp of structural and
historical change, the hope that is central to this work is for the voices of the people to be at the
forefront of global politics and policymaking, resonating through power corridors, and finding their
way to the masses. For leaders to implement change, society must come together to take that one
step forward in the right direction.
