In this episode of All Things Policy, Maya Patra and Swathi Kalyani discuss Prime Minister Modi’s recent visit to Mauritius, analysing India’s strategic engagement in the Indian Ocean. The conversation contrasts India’s developmental approach—rooted in historical ties and security cooperation—with China’s large-scale infrastructure investments and economic influence. They explore how Mauritius serves as a microcosm of India-China competition in Africa and examine whether these partnerships foster genuine development or economic dependency.
