“No One Is Safe Now” MJ Akbar’s Explosive Take on West Asia War

Amid the ongoing Gulf war crisis, former MoS for External Affairs MJ Akbar said the conflict signals the emergence of a new world order shaped by chaos and shifting power dynamics. Drawing a parallel with World War II and the creation of the United Nations, he noted that global systems often evolve after periods of intense conflict. Akbar warned that the erosion of national sovereignty and increasing cross-border interventions have made the world more unpredictable and insecure. He stressed that no single country can shape the future alone, adding that India is well-placed to be among the key partners influencing the evolving global order in the years ahead.
