The present geopolitical crises as also highlighted by the Economic Survey 2022 should be leveraged in India's favour to secure its National security and National Interests. Geopolitical Churns: - US-China Trade war - Russia-Ukraine invasion highlighted by some experts - Global supply chain disruptions due to war and China's zero COVID policy - Sri Lankan currency's Pakistan negatives
