In this episode of Unconventional Knowledge, Andrew Kureth speaks with Dr. Aparna Pande about how India is navigating the geopolitical fallout of the Iran war.

The discussion outlines India’s strategy of strategic autonomy and multi-alignment, and how growing instability in the Middle East is testing its ability to balance relations across competing powers. With deep energy dependence and critical trade routes at stake, a prolonged conflict could force India to shift from neutrality toward more explicit alignment.
