On this, the third episode of the PaperClip podcast, Mihir Sharma explains how, although at a military and economic disadvantage, India might still be able to contest China's increasing dominance in Asia. That would need India to openly admit that it needs friends and allies in its attempt to contain and constrain Beijing's ambitions; if India wants to lead, it will have to lead in creating coalitions of like-minded powers. This needs a big change of heart in New Delhi -- are India's leaders prepared? PaperClip examines the work of scholars and experts to give you the real choices.
