Prasanta Sahoo argues that in view of their consanguinity, shared history and cultural affinity, SAARC members are fated to cooperate, in spite of the artificial, colonially drawn borders that separate them. Their prosperity and security depend upon their ability to rise above differences and animosities but India must work to win and deserve the trust of its smaller neighbours.

| Summary/Abstract |
After the Uri and Pulwama terror attacks in Jammu &Kashmir, the intelligenceagencies predict the next big terror attack on India may come from the sea, similar to 26/11, Mumbai terror attack. The eastern maritime border in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) is the weakest point and the most venerable one due to its porousness and close proximity to Bangladesh.

| Summary/Abstract |
India’s newly enacted Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), 2019 and the National Register of Citizens (NRC) has put the most trusted India-Bangladesh relations on the test. Though both the neighbours share a largely cordial relationship with a shared history, culture, and a common destiny, the recent law has brought serious stress in the bilateral relations.

| Summary/Abstract |
India inviting BIMSTEC member states to the BRICS outreach meeting in 2016 and to the recent Republic-Day Parade has been realised by many as India’s new strategic move and ignoring of SAARC. PM, Modi invites BIMSTEC rather than SAARC member states has raised many questions among scholars. This has been seen by many as India’s new regional politics in its neighbourhood. His main objective is to keep Pakistan and its best friend China out of the South Asian regional groupings.

| Summary/Abstract |
Narendra Modi governments ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make in India’ initiatives are on test by experts. His main objective is to make India self-reliant in defence production, decrease imports and increase export. India has a troubled neighbourhood posing numerous security challenges. The world is also going through a serious transition at present. India is trying to readjust its strategic equations in this globalised world to protect its national and international interests. With steady economic growth and a large military, empowered with nuclear, India wishes to become a world power. Today India is successfully producing a large quantity of arms for domestic use and international demand. It is now one of the fast-emerging global players in the defence market. But does that mean India has become self-reliant in defence? The article assesses it from three parameters—indigenous arms production, military or non-military threats and military modernisation & arms export.

| Summary/Abstract |
Finalizing the ratification of Land Boundary Agreement (2015) is like falling of the “Berlin Wall” between India and Bangladesh which is considered as the golden chapter in their bilateral relationships. The new regimes in Delhi and Dhaka under the leadership of Narendra Modi and Shaikh Hasina respectively have taken the friendship to the highest peak. This is the biggest icebreaker since Indira-Mujib treaty of early 70s. Bangladesh occupies a very important place in the calculation of India’s foreign policy discourse vis-à-vis South Asia. Today, India and Bangladesh are strategic partners in the war against terrorism. They are also largest trading partners in South Asia.

| Summary/Abstract |
Anti-India violence in Kashmir has been keenly supported and instigated by the ISI and its terrorist proxies. In response to terror attacks, New Delhi retaliated through military surgical land and air strikes to punish the perpetrators. According to Prasanta Sahoo, India’s retaliatory strategy, which includes supporting the Baloch separatist movement has been a combination of hard and soft power, sending a strong message to the Pakistani establishment and military.

| Summary/Abstract |
Democracy, history, culture and economic and security benefits, prompt India and Myanmar to be good neighbours. Myanmar plays a vital role in India’s neighbourhood strategy due to its strategically positioned, close to its northeastern region and the Bay of Bengal. It has the potentiality to counter the China-Pakistan conspiracy in South Asia along with vital for maritime security and energy need. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s giving priority to neighbours through his twin policies of “Neighbourhood First” and “Act East” foreign policy strategy has become a subject of debate in South Asia, Southeast Asia and Asia-Pacific regions.

Considering that dealing with Islamabad peacefully through bilateral talks and promises has failed, Narendra Modi too has hardened his stance. Prasanta Sahoo asserts that while most big powers including China, Russia and the US are hesitant to openly appreciate Modi’s antiterrorism strategy, India’s neighbours for now are standing with it.

| Summary/Abstract |
Bangladesh stands central to India's energy quest in its neighbourhood. The geopolitical realities also prompt and encourages for the cooperation. India with the estimated population of 1.24 billion is around 15 percent of the world’s population and is the fifth largest consumer of energy resources. India-Bangladesh-Myanmar (IBM) Sub-regional Cooperation (IBM-SRC) had made a most remarkable headway in terms of conceptualization of a trans-national gas pipeline with very strong possibilities in 2005. Initially the two countries had planned out to build a pipeline crossing Bangladesh soil.

Friend not the foe, brother not the Boss, this is what India wants to convince its neighbours. Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, former Prime Minister (PM) of India, once said “we can certainly change our friends but not the neighbours.” Neighbours are the reality of 21st century international relations. Any country wants to become secured, progressive and developed must accept this reality. It is the cooperation, friendship and love of neighbours through which a country can achieve its goal.
