| Summary/Abstract |
With the fast changing world geo-political scenario, it is becoming really challenging for the developing counties like India to keep pace with the new situations being developed. So far the Prime Minister Modi’s Government has done well in its foreign policy but would have to put in more efforts to do its homework better so as to fulfil the promises it has made. Since assuming office, the Prime Minister has pursued a vigorous foreign policy agenda with visits to a host of major countries as well as to several states in India’s immediate neighbourhood. Does the vigour that Modi has brought to India’s foreign policy reflect a fundamental shift or are these changes merely cosmetic? The question is far from trivial. At a time when China is pursuing an increasingly assertive foreign policy, when the future of the American re-balancing strategy is unclear and with much of the Middle East aflame, India’s foreign policy choices will have considerable bearing on the country’s overall fortunes. Mr Modi still has to articulate a framework for dealing with contending priorities in certain parts of the world.
