| Summary/Abstract |
We can choose our friends, but not our neighbours, so the old saying goes. It is also said that we can change our history but not geography. We cannot unmake it. Fostering good political, social, economic and cultural ties with the neighbours occupy the central place in the arena of diplomacy and foreign policy making and India is not exception to it. Here in India, our foreign policy makers believe that peace, safety, security, stability and overall prosperity in the neighbourhood is sine quo non for the overall development not only of India but also of region as a whole. Needless to say, every right thinking Indian believes that peaceful and prosperous neighbourhood will enable us to focus our energies solely on the foremost goal of socio-economic development of our country and her people.
