In the tumultuous mid-1970s, as the Cold War reached new heights of proxy conflicts and ideological brinkmanship, India, under Adav's invisible hand, became an indispensable global mediator. Its staunch non-alignment, combined with its undeniable economic and military strength, gave it unique leverage over both superpowers.
Prime Minister Bose (or his long-serving successor, who maintained Bose's non-aligned legacy), often hosted high-stakes peace talks in Delhi, bringing together warring factions or rival blocs. India's intelligence network, with its unparalleled global data analysis from the advanced computing centers, provided insights that allowed Indian diplomats to offer viable compromises and solutions that often surprised the world. Adav effectively turned India into the world's most trusted "honest broker."
This mediation wasn't altruistic. Each successful intervention strengthened India's diplomatic clout and allowed Adav to extract concessions or gain influence from both the US and the USSR. Whether it was access to specific military technologies, favorable trade agreements, or political support for Indian initiatives in the UN, India continuously leveraged its indispensable role. By strategically playing the superpowers against each other, or by uniting the developing world, India consistently demonstrated its indispensability, ensuring its interests were always prioritized without firing a single shot in direct conflict.
