Iran and India, ancient civilisations and new horizons

2 min read

Transformation in the Global Order

The world is undergoing significant changes characterized by challenges to the Western-led international order, previously dominated by Western powers, particularly the United States.

  • Challenges:
    • Violations of international law and unchecked use of force.
    • Trade wars and manipulation of global media.
    • Environmental destruction and diminishing Western dominance.

Role of Ancient Civilisations

Ancient civilizations, such as Iran and India, play a crucial role in this transformation, leveraging their rich cultural legacies.

  • Cultural Influence:
    • Both civilizations valued peace, fought defensively, and significantly influenced their conquerors.
    • Shared values: life as a gift, triumph of good over evil, respect for diversity, and spiritual growth.
  • Historical Resilience:
    • Iran's Islamic Revolution and India's anti-colonial struggle highlight their resistance to domination.

New Path for the Global South

Iran and India are positioned to guide the Global South toward a more just and humane order.

  • South-South Cooperation:
    • Active participation in frameworks like BRICS and initiatives like INSTC.
  • Key Issues:
    • The Palestinian struggle and Iran's peaceful nuclear energy rights are central to Global South interests.

Potential of Multilateral Organizations

  • BRICS:
    • Challenges Western economic dominance and promotes a participatory future.
  • INSTC Corridor:
    • Links Eurasia, the Caucasus, India, and Africa, fostering stability in West Asia.
    • Acts as more than just an economic route, serving as a civilizational bridge.

Regional Dynamics and Challenges

U.S. interventions have historically fueled instability in West Asia and South Asia.

  • West Asia:
    • Iran opposes interventions threatening territorial integrity.
  • South Asia:
    • U.S. roles in terrorism dynamics and interventions based on strategic interests.

A New Global Model

Iran and India offer a model based on justice, participation, and equality, moving away from domination and towards a destiny defined by ancient civilisational wisdom.
