India’s global importance is beyond doubt, but since the revival of Hindu Nationalism amid the Narendra Modi rule, it’s image as well as its huge Muslim minority have suffered tremendously.

With over 200 million Muslims, India has the most Muslims anywhere in the world. Yet, with Kashmir seemingly further away from a peaceful resolution than any time in the past, and Hindu nationalism (Hindutva) taking grip and manifesting in horrific means, the question regarding India’s global position and role is pressing.

How will India fare in light of a surprisingly receding popularity of Modi in the last elections, and with an imminent Trump presidency?

C. Davood, Managing Editor of one of the biggest and most prominent media networks in India and throughout the GCC speaks with Anas Altikriti in their studios in the state of Kerala.

Kashmir; The Question of Self-Determination | The London Circle

| The London Circle | 31 July 2025

Malaysia is seen as a major force for good in not only the ASEAN region, but across the world. It’s attempts to mediate and negotiate rather than to confront, is a unique role in an ever more violent and confrontational global world order

Where does Malaysia sit in global geopolitics, particularly amid an East-West confrontational narrative? How does it manage to strike a balance between its own aspirations, while creating channels of communication, dialogue as well as trade and development with its neighbours, whom have a fiery relationship amongst themselves?

What role did Islam and indeed, the Islamic movement have in building the nation of Malaysia and what form of relationship does it espouse with the Muslim Umma, and specifically with its central cause including Palestine?

In this episode, Hj. Badlishah Sham Baharin and Dr. Ahmed El-Muhammady, discuss with Anas Altikriti, these issues and more.

One cannot but confess to being confused by the situation in Libya. But where did this chaos begin, and why? Is it inherent to Libya and Libyans that they fight amongst themselves for riches and authority, or is it more nuanced than that?

Dr. Guma El-Gamaty knows more than most about the history and present of Libya. In this episode he discusses with Anas Altikriti the reasons for why Libya moved from a glorious and historic revolution in February 2011 to a state of chaos and civil violence within less than 4 years.

He discusses the role and significant impact of the Qaddafi regime, and also the political scenarios available to the political players, and the aspirations of the Libyan people caught up in all of this.
