Usanas Foundation organized its fifth annual flagship conference "Maharana Pratap Annual Geopolitics Dialogue 2026'' on the theme of "Chakravyuh to Shanti Parv: From Conflict to Consensus". The Ministry of External Affairs was our co-host in this event. The conference was organized on the 13th and 14th March 2026 in Udaipur.
This year’s theme, Chakravyuh to Shanti Parva: From Conflict to Consensus, aimed to provide a platform for policymakers, scholars, strategists, and thought leaders to discuss and deliberate on the complex challenges of our time. By bringing together diverse perspectives and framing them within both contemporary realities and India’s rich civilizational wisdom, the dialogue sought to go beyond merely identifying crises and instead create a shared vision for the future—one where multipolarity did not mean fragmentation but balanced cooperation, where digital innovation empowered rather than coerced, where geoeconomics offered opportunities rather than vulnerabilities, where climate responsibility became a collective obligation, and where terrorism was firmly countered.
The world stood at a critical juncture marked by rivalry and uncertainty, yet there remained hope for building a new consensus. The conference sought to turn complexity into clarity and conflict into cooperation, guiding us through the Chakravyuh of our era and toward a new Shanti Parva.
