| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In the post-Cold War scenario, NAM may appear out of place but its cardinal principle-'independence of foreign policy' continues to be relevant in the present context also, because India as the largest democracy with desire to play a respectful role in global affairs needs her own foreign policy choices, which are in tune with her core national interest. The principle of independence of foreign policy has resurfaced as 'strategic autonomy' in the Indian policy making circles. In the wake of the signing of the joint strategic vision statement between India and the US in January 2015, China has appreciated India's principle of 'strategic autonomy' in foreign policy. Thus, India needs to play a balancing act in the ongoing great game between the US and China for protecting her long-term interests and for peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. |
