"Asian-European Is Becoming Common": Parag Khanna At NDTV World Summit

"Indian-American used to be a comment nomenclature. But now Asian-European (or Indian-European) is becoming common. The Philippines used to supply nurses to the world. But they will soon run out of these skilled workers. But I know a country that has 10 times the population of the Philippines," Khanna said.

"We live in a world where your identity is defined by the state that bestows it upon you. You cannot cross a border without carrying a passport issued by a state. Today, I cannot think of any other nation that is a greater incentive to transcend this system where we are so dependent on interstate relations and protocols and agreements and the vast bureaucracy than India. Indians being the largest diaspora in the world, reaching every corner of the planet, being one of the youngest nations in the world. In any given year, India exports in a way more people than any country does," he added.
