In recent years, the role of the Commonwealth has come under scrutiny. The 53-nation body, headquartered in London, was formed during the decolonization of the British Empire. In the wake of Brexit, Britain sees Commonwealth countries as potential trade partners and has persuaded India to become more involved in the organization’s work. Philip Murphy, Director of the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, has authored The Empire’s New Clothes: The Myth of the Commonwealth. Former BBC journalist and editor Rita Payne is President Emeritus of the Commonwealth Journalists Association. Salil Tripathi is a journalist, author, and human rights, activist. Y.K.Sinha is a diplomat and the Indian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. David Howell is a former Minister for the Commonwealth, President of the Royal Commonwealth Society, and UK member of the current Commonwealth Governance High-Level Group. In conversation with author and journalist John Elliott, they discuss the relevance of the institution and the part India may play in its new avatar.
