Summary/Abstract |
India and China possess a robust dispute redressal mechanism erected over a period of time but Doklam was an altogether different challenge. The unprecedented clash involved Indian and Chinese troops facing off on the soil of a third country which may yet give rise to future complications. During the standoff, Chinese propaganda machinery issued repeated threats of breaching India’s boundary through Pakistan occupied Kashmir.

Summary/Abstract |
One of the signs of the South Asian “Spring” of 2008 eroding into a “Winter” is the recent developments in the island nation of the Maldives. Nepal’s long struggle to draft an effective Constitution with a stable government since 2008, Pakistan’s democratic leadership continuing to speak the language of the military establishment on several acts of terror, the struggle of the Awami League-led Government to fight the challenges emanating from the alliance of the radical forces who have threatened even to boycott the 2018 polls in Bangladesh, and, the silence and dissent-free democracy in Bhutan etc. are the other signs.

Summary/Abstract |
Recent setback on the SAARC front notwithstanding it is high time that cooperation in South Asia should move from potential to performance. Even after three decades of existence SAARC members have failed to cooperate fully and take advantage of regional opportunities. Better infrastructure facilities like development of means of transportation will certainly help. South Asian countries should also abolish non-tariff barriers so that there is free flow of trade apart from cooperation in the area of customs procedures.

Summary/Abstract |
The art of conducting the foreign affairs of a country lies in securing the national interest of the country or if put in simple words it is the method of investigating what is most advantageous to the country in the long run. However when the country has to formulate its policies towards its immediate neighbours, it is often seen that the concern for the border security is prioritized over all other considerations.

Summary/Abstract |
The principle of Non-Reciprocity and greater focus on regional connectivity are the two important aspects of India’s contemporary South Asian Policy. Non-Reciprocity stands for a foreign policy posture in which a nation extends a helpful gesture to other nations without expectation of any reciprocal response from them. In South Asian context it means that India will do her best for the growth and prosperity of her neighbor without any reciprocal returns from them for the same.

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 |
Probably Bhutan is only the immediate neighboring country with whom India has no any direct confrontation in all respect. Keeping in the mind of past track record that we have with Bhutan, its seems very unlikely to have to change its status quo. However foreign policy is all about serving its own national interest and one need to act in accordance changing internal and external international milieu. With time national interest is bound to get change.

Summary/Abstract |
News media known as the fourth estate of democracy has been considered as one of the important pillars of domestic policy making. It provides information and becomes the harbinger of public opinion that the policy makers cannot afford to ignore. The impact of media on foreign policy making is however a little more indirect as the policy making here can not be dependant only on pubic opinion.

It is not merely a balancing power, playing a second fiddle role. Now it has become power whose words are taken seriously. The definition of smart power according Joseph Nye is an ability to use the soft power along with the hard power. India has displayed this charisma against China. After Doklam India created a new group which can deter Chinese influence not merely in Pacific but in other parts of the world.
