At the UN, MP C.P. Joshi reminded the world: the IMF and World Bank still reflect a 20th-century world. India’s ₹1,250 crore India-UN Fund? No strings attached. Recipient countries decide their own priorities. That’s rare. And India’s not stopping; from solar alliances to disaster-resilient infrastructure, it’s building alternatives the Global South actually wants. Why does this matter? Because when 80% of the world feels ignored by global institutions, someone has to step up. India’s doing it; not by shouting, but by building. And that’s changing the game.
