| Summary/Abstract |
To transcend the immediate and reach beyond the physical borders has been an ancient trait of the South Asian subcontinent civilisation. The widespread influence of the Vedic-Hindu and Buddhist religions, culture, philosophy and social practices in South-East Asia, Far East and Central Asia is well documented in history. This regional spread was not achieved by means of military conquest or forced homogenisation but rather by peaceful, voluntary absorption of ideas and practices by the local populations of these regions. This transcendence was not to seek a political hegemonic empire but something which made a deeper and long lasting cultural impact far and wide.

Present paper makes an assessment of Indo-Maldives relationship with special emphasis on China factor in last two years. It is argued that since the controversial ouster of Mohamed Nasheed in Febuary 2012 Maldives' relationship with India has deteriorated in comparison to the previous three decades of constructive engagement. While political instability in Maldives has been a result of the clash of historical and social forces with the new democratic experiment launched in 2008, its fallout for India has come in the form of making latter's negative invocation in domestic political discourse by the rival elites.

| Summary/Abstract |
China and India remain locked in a stagnant embrace when it comes to the most intractable of security dilemmas: the Sino-Indian border issue. A closer look at Chinese and Indian strategic, scientific and academic experts' security perceptions vis-a-vis one another reveals that there is mueh more to the Sino-Indian security dynamic than meets the eye. Chinese and Indian strategic analysts hold divergent interests when evaluating each other's military modernization, the former preoccupied with India's naval development and the latter with China's army. Technical analysts in each country share a similar level of interest in the other's aviation and aerospace programs.

| Summary/Abstract |
Integration with global market economy expanded India's relationship with a wide range of countries across continents. It should be sustained and expanded along with the regional cooperation forums to strengthen economy and territorial as well as human security.(38) SAARC is the first in the series of regional cooperation organizations preceding economic reforms in India. At the moment except ASEAN and BRICS all other institutions have a lackluster performance.

| Summary/Abstract |
China's recent statement has sparked tension in the region: "We should not leave the world with the impression that China is only focused on economic development, nor should we pursue the reputation of being a peaceful power." Now, the question stands whether India's growing involvement with Vietnam or her moves in the SCS will act as a counter-move to China's activities and support in Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Pakistan?

India has always shared a convivial relation with Bhutan. This article traces the historical background of the bilateral relations, attempting to investigate why Bhutan, despite being tiny in size, is so important even after the change of Government in India. Pragmatically, the new Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, stated his foreign policy by selecting Bhutan as his first trip abroad. What are the promises that Modi has made to Bhutan? Who all have raised objections to Modi's plans for Bhutan and why? How important is the China factor in developing the India-Bhutan relations?

| Summary/Abstract |
Foreign Policy of any country should be so framed that relations with neighbours should be given the highest priority because that, to a great extent, determines the country's standing in the comity of nations. Obviously, India's emergence as a regional power and a key global player also depends on its image and standing in the neighbourhood of the South Asian region. Fortunately, the new Indian government under Narendra Modi's dispensation has taken certain reasonable steps towards forging closer ties with all of its neighbours in the subcontinent.

| Summary/Abstract |
In recent times, few other events in world politics has garnered the attention of practitioners and scholars as the relative opening of Myanmar has done, erstwhile under the iron fist rule of the military. While countries increasingly make a beeline to engage resource-rich and strategically located Myanmar, several challenges remain, both internal and external in nature. As India envisions a more comprehensive and more broad-based relationship with Myanmar in its new avatar, New Delhi has to juggle amidst challenges emerging out of Myanmar's own political dynamics in addition to India's security concerns, its economic ambitions and the strategic dimensions of an emerging balance of power game in Asia.

| Summary/Abstract |
A small country in the Himalayan kingdom, Nepal carries vital importance for India as far as its security is concerned, as India's biggest rival, China, is just north of Nepal. Hence Nepal is sandwich between the two Asian giants, India and China and that is its worry and at the same time its advantage too as it exploits this very facts and bargain well with both these countries very efficiently. Nepal is a land locked country and it has to depend on India for its transit routes which give India an upper hand in tackling the problems arising out of Nepal's attitude.

| Summary/Abstract |
India and China have made a significant stride in their bilateral relations which is exemplified in their 60 years of the 'Panchsheel Agreement of 1954'. Though India's relations with China has often been weighed down by the protracted boundary problem but the growing economic engagement has given a new high to the relationship. The growing economic interests between the two rapidly growing Asian giants significantly suggest that commerce can even flourish in the presence of very hostile relations. This unique characteristic of India's relations with China based on their convergent economic interests and divergent political interests posit a unique case study of both cooperation and conflict running parallel to each other.

| Summary/Abstract |
India and Central Asia constitutes strategic neighbours and natural allies. Both the regions are geographically proximate, share common history and cultural affinity. With this premise a modest attempt has been made to know what policies India follow in this region to secure and strive its interests and what more needs to be done. As stated above India requires to open up its diplomatic wings as far as cross border relations are concerned. Look North Policy which was planned long back to give a formal push remained under carpet for too long. There is an immediate and urgent need of this policy to be reactivated if at all India wants to play a big power role in world politics.

| Summary/Abstract |
India over the first decade of this millennium allowed its relations with US to burgeonbeyond expectations without understanding the emerging world order and geo-politics in the right perspective. This changing paradigm of foreign policy may have raised threat perception of China to India and many other adversaries of India. Probably this motivated China to raise its excursion inside Indian borders and throughout the last couple of years of UPA government it continued to put pressure on Indian foreign policy adventurists and Indian defence. Now the bonhomie with US seems to be evaporating and has reached its peak in the recent case of Devyani Khobragade and the one-upmanship that followed it.

| Summary/Abstract |
It can be safely concluded that external powers have more to do in Nepali domestic politics, than Nepalis themselves do. It is unlikely that Nepal would have a smooth sail in the near future. With the intensifying contentions, both overt and covert, between and among China, the US and India, Nepal's politics can hardly be expected to have a democratic regime in the years to come. The things will become stable once the present cat-and-dog contention in the Himalayan Asia reaches saturation and a conclusive end. Timeframe and modus operandi for that cannot be predicted, for various variables could differ the state of affairs. It is US and China's interest to control the region.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Indus Treaty is stable due to its mechanism it survived after three wars. Now there is demand in Pakistan for the abrogation of the treaty, because it gives upper hand to India. After the 1996 treaty Bangladesh is demanding agreement on Teesta River but it is not easy to sign it. The interests of the West Bengal are important. The ruling party, BJP, wants Mamta Banergee's support in Rajyasabha. Both countries signed more treaties more agreements and MOUs on the Ganges river water sharing. India is not happy with Nepal about water and Hydropower sharing. Tanakpur and Karnali projects were difficult to implement.

| Summary/Abstract |
India and Sri Lanka, the two very close neighbours, are separated by a narrow stretch of water called Palk Strait. The history and mythology of the two countries are inter- related and the social ties between the two is more than 2,500 years old and both sides have built upon a legacy of intellectual, cultural, religious and linguistic intercourse. Shortly following independence, the major tribulations bedevilling the rapport of both the countries were the question of citizenship of the persons of Indian Origin resident in Sri Lanka, the majority of who had migrated to the Island during the British Period to the Coffee and subsequently tea plantations.
