In today's episode our guest is Dr. Vikas Divyakirti, Educator & Author. This episode explores power, politics, geopolitics, and the global shifts reshaping the 21st century.
We also touch upon global power, leadership, and education. Russia and America have enough nuclear power to destroy the world many times over. Trump’s unapologetic, business-first approach reflects a different mindset of leadership. Dr. Vikas discusses how teacher salaries in India are far lower than in countries like the US and UK, affecting both quality and satisfaction in education. If you’re curious about world affairs, political psychology, or India’s geopolitical standing, this is one of the most important conversations you’ll hear.
