UN Obsolete? India Needs Its Own 'Indosphere of Influence' Amidst Global Power Shifts

  • Donald Trump's 'Donroe Doctrine' signifies a US withdrawal from global organizations, challenging the UN's relevance.
  • The world operates under a 'spheres-of-influence' system, with the US, Russia, and China asserting regional dominance.
  • The UN's structural dysfunction, particularly the Security Council's veto power, reflects 1945 geopolitics, not today's.
  • India, a nuclear power and major economy, needs to move beyond reactive foreign policy and define its own strategic framework.
  • An 'Indosphere of influence' would involve issue-based coalitions, leading the Global South, and advocating multipolar realism.

Why It Matters: The UN is outdated in governing global power; India must build its own sphere of influence for strategic autonomy.
