Abstract

This study interrogates the enduring geopolitical and economic architectures through which the United States has reproduced structural hierarchies from the World Wars to the contemporary era. It offers a theoretically grounded critique of U.S. hegemony, tracing how economic coercion, militarised trade regimes, religion-inflected strategic narratives, and technological monopolies collectively sustain global dependency circuits situates far right globalism. Using the alleged U.S. involvement in the May 2025 India–Pakistan confrontation as an analytical vantage point, the research reveals how pre-positioned arms infrastructures, destabilising economic instruments, sectarian energisation, and concentrated tech ecosystems undermine India’s economic sovereignty and compress its social autonomy. The analysis advances policy pathways to reinforce democratic resilience, counter sectarian fragmentation, and reconfigure an equitable global architecture capable of resisting asymmetric federal world. By situating India’s vulnerabilities within longer historical patterns of geopolitical decline, the study contends that neither right-wing nor left-wing paradigms can stabilise the international system; instead, a pluralistic, middle-way governance model offers a more sustainable alternative.
