India Bond or Free? A World Problem

India, like many nations, faces a dilemma between remaining economically tethered (bonded) or fully embracing freedom (free) in a globalized world. On one hand, globalization offers access to markets, technology, and resources, but it also brings dependence on external forces, such as trade regulations and international politics. India’s challenge lies in balancing autonomy with economic partnerships. As a rapidly growing economy, it seeks freedom in decision-making, while being mindful of the global influence that shapes its policies. This tension between self-sufficiency and global interdependence is a persistent issue for India, as well as for many developing nations.
