Congress MP Tewari Stresses Internal Cohesion for India
Manish Tewari, a Congress MP, spoke at the launch of his new book.
He said India needs to stay united inside the country to protect itself from outside problems.
He believes that India's strength comes from being united and having different kinds of people, not from outside help.
He also talked about how the world is changing and how India should be ready for new challenges.
He mentioned that the United Nations needs to be improved and that working together with other countries is important.
Other political leaders were also present at the event.
Manish Tewari emphasized that India's internal cohesion is crucial for protecting its strategic autonomy.
He warned against religious polarization, stating it weakens India's social fabric.
Tewari argued that the post-World War II global order has collapsed, and the world is now orderless.
He highlighted the need for reforms in global institutions like the United Nations and advocated for multilateralism.
The book launch was attended by prominent political figures, including Yashwant Sinha and Ghulam Nabi Azad.

Quotes
Manish Tewari
Congress MP and former union minister, author of 'A World Adrift: A Parliamentarian’s Perspective on the Global Power Dynamic'
“There are strategic continuums… PM Nehru conceptualised non-alignment; there were two world wars, devastation, destruction, imperialism and colonialism were in retreat. PM Nehru gave the nations a third way — that held the field from 1947 till 1962, when the Chinese war happened… After that we signed a treaty of friendship with the Soviet Union… that is what our national interest dictated.”

“When the Soviet Union collapsed, we started looking West. And now we have difficulties with the West. When I see the narrative of so-called multi-alignment from the government, it is nothing but Nehru alignment without giving him ownership. Similarly, when you talk about atma nirbharta, it is the self-reliance of late PM Mrs (Indira) Gandhi when she started the Green Revolution and didn’t want to be humiliated in the capitals of the world.”

Yashwant Sinha
Former external affairs minister
“Quite clearly, there are threats and dangers, and we have to navigate through these choppy waters with dexterity.”
