Indian Foreign Policy@75 Years: Roadmap of VishwGuru
The foreign policy of India at 75 years has many twists and turns. There is continuity and changes. There are many milestones. Overall image of Bharat changed subsequently. An image halfnaked beggar transformed into a computer wizard. The reluctancy is succeeded by assertiveness. The decisive voice of India is heard across the world. Indian diaspora has ballooned and become a connecting force. The journey of foreign policy was roller-coaster. The first phase of foreign policy did not allow the country to create a strong foot in the subcontinent. The much larger and lofty ideas remained the driving force. However, there were constraints in the first five decades following independence. India had limited capabilities; it could not do much in global affairs. Great powers dominated and set the agenda for global peace and security. India often found itself on the margin of international decision-making. It was more of a rule-taker than a rule-maker in the post-Second World War global order. The reason was an idealistic approach of the first 15 years of Indian foreign policy. Tibet lost to China and Himalayan states came under Chinese heat. The Himalayan Blunder has deepened the scars of security and foreign policy dimension. Britain had left India with a strong position in Himalayan states. But unrealistic approach provided China to maneuver. Current stalemate of border spins is by product of the same thoughts.
