Question

what's the summary of the book pax indica

Answer 1

Pax Romanaor “the Roman Peace” described the period during which Rome became a dominant power and the focal point of culture, trade and influence in Europe. Similar terms have been used for other empires, like Pax Britannica for the century leading up to the First World War. In each case, the power of the empire — military, economic, and cultural, combined with internal political stability — ensured peace. It was an age of glory for the states that were the power centres, although there were mixed results for the regions that came in the path of theImperial juggernaut.Pax Indica, or the Indian peace, is Shashi Tharoor’s look at modern India. Tharoor’s basic hypothesis is that Indiacan use a combination of her size, trade prowess, soft power and growinginfluence in the world to ensure an age of domestic transformation. As far as Tharoor is concerned, “pax Indica” is a foreign policy that allows India to play a role in developing a contemporary “peace system” that will help “promote and maintain a period or co-operative co-existence”.
