leaders, move beyond textbooks, pose bold questions, and actively debate the future of India&#8217;s global story through the lens of foreign policy, business, and culture. We&#8217;re inspired by conferences like Harvard&#8217;s India Conference and HPAIR, the St. Gallen Symposium, and more. </p><p><strong><mark data-color="#fff2cc" style="background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">What the role is:</mark></strong><mark data-color="#fff2cc" style="background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </mark>The Director co-creates the vision for the Conclave alongside the Chair, shaping the ideas, themes, and curation that define the final form of the event. This means <em>leading</em> the organising committee on scope and creative decisions as well as on-ground execution. Directors are expected to have innovative ideas and the ability to get things done, and to have experience in organising similar large-scale conferences from scratch. Most importantly, all potential Directors must share our ethos of promoting inclusive, critical discourse.</p><p><strong><mark data-color="#fff2cc" style="background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Perks:</mark></strong> Like all positions at the Project, this is voluntary. Directors receive a certificate of core membership and a formal recommendation letter. More than that, it is a rare chance to build something new and impactful, and to do it with people who care about India&#8217;s place in the world as much as you do.</p><p><strong><mark data-color="#fff2cc" style="background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Time:</mark></strong> The expected commitment varies across the term; lighter in the early months (5-6 hours) and significantly heavier in the lead-up to the event. Applicants should be prepared for this to become a major commitment by early 2027 (term starts on September 1, ends in May or whenever the conclave ends). </p><p><em>If you are an Indian student in Delhi (who has completed at least one year in college) and are interested in IR, economics, politics and care about building new spaces that make an impact, we would be glad to hear from you.</em></p><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p><strong><mark data-color="#fff2cc" style="background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">To apply,</mark></strong> fill out <a href="https://forms.gle/r41hcbhmaMTioTvw5">this</a> application form.

publishing strong, accessible voices of young Indians on the issues that shape India&#8217;s place in the world. To sustain and grow that work, we need dedicated people behind the scenes.</p><p><strong><mark data-color="#fff2cc" style="background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">What the job is:</mark></strong> We are looking for individuals with a genuine interest in foreign policy, IR, and geopolitics, and a willingness to take on the practical, unglamorous work that keeps a publication running. Editorial Interns will manage the full weekly pipeline: receiving and screening open submissions, proofreading and editing accepted articles, and publishing finalised pieces on our website. They&#8217;ll also be expected to submit their own writing for publication. Most importantly, all potential interns must share our ethos of promoting inclusive, critical discourse.</p><p><strong>Perks:</strong> Like all other positions at the Project, this is a <mark data-color="#fff2cc" style="background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">remote volunteer position</mark>. Interns receive a certificate of completion and are eligible for a formal recommendation letter if they do really well! It is also, we believe, a meaningful opportunity to engage seriously with argumentative writing, to develop editorial skills, and to contribute to a publication that takes India&#8217;s foreign policy discourse seriously.</p><p><strong><mark data-color="#fff2cc" style="background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Time:</mark></strong> We are recruiting multiple interns, who will work as a team and share responsibilities on a rotating basis. The expected commitment is approximately 5-7 hours per week over a two-month term (ending August 30), <mark data-color="#fff2cc" style="background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">starting immediately</mark>.</p><p><em>If you are an Indian student (who has completed at least one year in college), early-career researcher, or simply someone who cares about this space and wants to be useful in it, we would be glad to hear from you.</em></p><div class="callout-block" data-callout="true"><p><strong><mark data-color="#fff2cc" style="background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">To apply</mark></strong>, fill out <strong><a href="https://forms.gle/buujh8fwWwDuc7EC8">this</a></strong> short application with your CV, writing sample(s), and a brief note of interest. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and will close once positions are filled. </p></div><div><hr></div><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[WTO Publishing Opportunity:

With 2025 revealing the shaky foundations of global order and regional instability, our work at the Indian Foreign Policy Project is more crucial than ever. India needs informed citizens ready to engage thoughtfully with complex global challenges. That means investing in media literacy, capacity building, and education for young Indians. </p><p>As 2025 comes to an end, we look back at the incredible tangible impact we created in our communities. Here is just a short selection of them across last year.</p><div class="pullquote"><p><strong><a href="https://milaap.org/fundraisers/support-indian-foreign-policy-project">All of the incredible change-making work below is powered by average citizens who support our work financially. We couldn&#8217;t do it without them. If you believe in the value of our independent programs, please support IFPP&#8217;s work today from just &#8377; 100.</a></strong></p></div><ul><li><p>Our India Way Magazine launched its inaugural spring edition under Co-Editors-in-Chief Muskaan Mir and Manini Agarwal, with nine thought-provoking essays from young people writing on South Asia&#8217;s <a href="https://www.foreignpolicyindia.in/">escalating violence post-Pahalgam. </a>The platform had over 64,000 readers this year, and 16K readers in December alone.</p></li><li><p>An IFPP project was awarded the Millennium Fellowship 2025 by the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) and Millennium Campus Network (MCN) for its dedicated impact on regional peacebuilding. It connected underserved school students in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh through virtual exchanges and expert modules designed to build bridges and connections across borders while tackling propaganda and misinformation.</p></li><li><p>Medhya Gupta and Neeraj BR led IFPP&#8217;s Speaker Series to add Former Singaporean Foreign Minister Dr George Yeo, Amb Shyam Saran, Amb. Rahul Chhabra and Vice Admiral Pradeep Chauhan, among others, to our <a href="https://org.foreignpolicyindia.in/speaker-series">growing list of influential guests</a>. </p></li><li><p>In March, we hosted our first on-ground event at Ashoka University, partnering with the Ashoka Society for International Affairs (ASIA) to host awarded journalist Nayanima Basu, where she discussed her experiences reporting in the final days of the Taliban&#8217;s takeover of Kabul in 2021 and writing her book, &#8216;Dispatches from Chaos&#8217;.</p></li><li><p>Our members attended multiple invite-only events in Delhi-NCR, including at the British Council, Raisina Dialogue, and Council for Strategic and Defense Research (CSDR). </p></li><li><p>Since January, our community of students, academics, and diplomats has grown to over 7000 across platforms, and we continue to share invites, opportunities, and networking events that help create awareness, scholarship and capacity-building.</p></li><li><p>Our flagship virtual program for high school students, the First Citizen Fellowship, was launched in the summer. Designed specifically for emerging leaders from South Asia, <a href="https://fellowship.foreignpolicyindia.in/">this fellowship</a> aims to foster thoughtful, ethical, and informed global citizens rooted in media literacy, ethical reasoning, and global citizenship.</p></li><li><p>Our virtual debates on India&#8217;s core foreign policy issues were engaged by over 1.5K people over the year. You can watch our public recordings on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@IFPPIndia">YouTube</a>.</p></li><li><p>The Research &amp; Publications Division, led by Kiran C. and Abhinav S. Nambeesan, was reshaped into 3 research desks: The China Observatory focusing on India-China issues, the India Record focusing on historical Indian foreign policy, and Bindu, the South Asia desk, focusing on human rights, trade, and peace.</p></li><li><p>In the spirit of inclusive foreign policy discourse, we expanded core memberships to more than 25 colleges and universities spread across India, the UK, and Brazil. </p></li></ul><p>Again, this is just a short list of all the work we&#8217;ve done this year. Powerful independent efforts for active dialogue change lives every day by making space for pragmatic ideas. If you can, please support our work today and help make that change happen.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://milaap.org/fundraisers/support-indian-foreign-policy-project&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Support the Project&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://milaap.org/fundraisers/support-indian-foreign-policy-project"><span>Support the Project</span></a></p><p>Thank you for your love.

Looking back twelve months, few of us could have predicted the speed at which the global order would be reshaped or how deeply conflict would be felt in South Asia.</p><p>The challenges India faces&#8212;constrained global alliances, rising hatred against the diaspora, and volatility in the region&#8212; are immense. We are living in a world without order and with multilateral institutions showing clear signs of collapse. In this environment, it&#8217;s important to empower young people to lead and help them imagine  alternate futures that are pragmatic, empathetic, and serve our people. </p><p>That&#8217;s why hearing from the IFPP community and people like <em>you</em> is a regular reminder of why our work matters. Whether it is our commitment to youth-led dialogue on India&#8217;s foreign policy, resilience in the face of rising misinformation, or a simple desire for critical education, your engagement is what keeps us moving forward.</p><p>As we look back at our impact from 2025, I wanted to share why so many of you chose to back us this year:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Seeking Reliability:</strong> In an era of targeted misinformation, hypernationalism and jingoism, many of you saw IFPP as a trustworthy space that promotes debate and bold questions.</p></li><li><p><strong>Informed Citizenship:</strong> Your support reflects a belief that rigorous public discourse and writing matter, particularly when engaging and empowering the world&#8217;s largest young population to think critically about global affairs.</p></li><li><p><strong>Education that inspires:</strong> Even among those who may not always agree with our perspectives, there was recognition that sustaining non-partisan, critical-thinking-driven education and media literacy, right from high school, is important.</p></li></ul><p></p><p>Thank you so much for reading, participating, and backing our mission of empowering young people in 2025. If you are celebrating, I hope you have a happy holiday and a restful break.</p><p></p><p>Ajitesh Vishwanath<br><em>Founding Chair</em></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://ifpp.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://ifpp.substack.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[#CrowdfundForeignPolicy: Fundrasing for IFPP]]></title><description><![CDATA[Why India&#8217;s Foreign Policy Should Matter to You (and How You Can Help Young Voices Engage With It)]]></description><link>https://ifpp.substack.com/p/crowdfundforeignpolicy-fundrasing</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://ifpp.substack.com/p/crowdfundforeignpolicy-fundrasing</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Dec 2025 15:32:45 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!k1NZ!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2e79970b-70e3-47f4-a868-9ded993eb1f1_2755x3508.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2024, a small group of students from India&#8217;s best colleges came together with one simple belief: <strong>conversations on India&#8217;s foreign policy should not be limited to experts or closed circles.</strong> The decisions India makes on the global stage affect all of us, whether it&#8217;s the price of essentials, the jobs we get, the safety of our people abroad, or the long-term direction of our country. Young people <em>deserve</em> a space to understand these choices, question them, and imagine alternative futures.</p><p>That belief became the <strong>Indian Foreign Policy Project (IFPP)</strong>, now a youth-led community that brings together thousands of students from across India and South Asia. Our goal is simple: to foster debate, discussion, and thoughtful dialogue among young Indians at a time when global events are increasingly complex.</p><p>With your support, we launched the <strong>IFPP Speaker Series</strong> to make foreign policy accessible through open conversations. Since then, we have hosted former diplomats, journalists, and scholars, including former foreign ministers, ambassadors, and award-winning reporters. These sessions are free and open to anyone who wants to learn, question, and participate.</p><p>Alongside the Speaker Series, we have built a transnational community of over 6,000 young people, launched <strong>The India Way Magazine</strong> to compile critical discourse on global affairs, and run workshops and dialogues that encourage curiosity, empathy, and critical thinking. Everything we do is <strong>non-partisan and volunteer-led</strong>.</p><p>To keep our work <strong>independent and accessible</strong>, we rely on support from ordinary citizens like you.

discussing the future of South Asia.

This issue will feature op-eds, essays, creative nonfiction, and visual stories that go beyond headlines&#8230; and we want yours to be one of them.</p><p><strong>We&#8217;re inviting submissions from across the region.</strong> Possible themes include:</p><ul><li><p>Personal and familial memory of conflict</p></li><li><p>The role of youth in peacebuilding</p></li><li><p>Media narratives and misinformation</p></li><li><p>Cultural diplomacy and shared heritage</p></li><li><p>Nationalism, borders, and belonging</p></li></ul><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LOMEHtmYI80imRLItXuOVe6NcTr9kmId/view?usp=sharing&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Know More about what we want&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LOMEHtmYI80imRLItXuOVe6NcTr9kmId/view?usp=sharing"><span>Know More about what we want</span></a></p><p><strong>Submission Guidelines:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Formats: Op-eds, essays, creative nonfiction, photo essays</p></li><li><p>Word count: 1000&#8211;3000 words</p></li><li><p>Deadline: May 25</p></li><li><p>Link: <a href="https://forms.gle/uQqLExSWhngqNfh76">https://forms.gle/uQqLExSWhngqNfh76</a></p></li></ul><p></p><p>If you're someone with something to say &#8212; or something to question &#8212; this is your platform.
