About the Book

From the revolt of 1857 and the freedom movement to duels on the cricket
pitch, India and the United Kingdom have been on opposing sides on numerous
occasions. A less known instance when this dynamic played out was the 2017
election for a seat on the International Court of Justice.
Unwilling at first, India was prompted to enter the ring in the wake of the
Kulbhushan Jadhav case. The contest that followed proved to be a 'second war
of Independence' in the words of then foreign minister Sushma Swaraj -- and a
David-and-Goliath fight against the permanent members of the Security Council,
who all put their might behind the UK.
Syed Akbaruddin, India's Permanent Representative to the UN at the time,
presents a behind-the-scenes account of India's coming-of-age in world affairs
through the prism of this momentous election.
