| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The sweeping changes in the foreign policy of Narendra Modi’s government in India reflect several departures
from previous year. Most prominent shift was from non alignment that was designed to steer India
clear of involvements that could harm the country by diverting its resources from development and social
consolidation into militarisation and war. Another shift is from the policy of equidistance which was not
a refusal to get involved but an assertion that India would choose when, where and how to get involved,
reflecting the rise of India’s soft power. These shifts have ramifications on bilateral relations of India and
China and carry substantial impact on future trends of engagements between the two. |
