Why is the world so obsessed with picking sides in a game designed by giants? The U.S. and China are locked in this exhausting AI tug-of-war, and India is out here trying to carve a third path.

We don't need to follow the blueprint of empires to build something meaningful. High thinking means refusing to be a pawn in someone else’s digital arms race. Keep your eyes on the rebels who refuse to choose.
