Summary/Abstract |
The involvement of states in India’s foreign policy-making could be vital in launching India onto the next phase of development. The centre holds executive power in all matters related to foreign policy as stipulated in Article 246a, 7th schedule. Indian states already have many responsibilities like improving infrastructure for public health services, agriculture, transportation, etc. However, there is a heightened need to improve their economic performance and generate enough revenue so as to not depend on the centre for funding and help improve foreign relations with other nation-states.

Summary/Abstract |
Before independence, British Indian Foreign Policy was more like a mirror image of British Foreign policy whose prime interest was to safe guard interests of British Empire than Indian interests. Although, India was one of the biggest colonies and leading source of raw materials, and market for the finished British goods, it never got its deserved priority from the British. Also, India was considered a main source of manpower for production and defence forces, but its interests were never addressed in the British Indian Foreign Policy

Summary/Abstract |
Diplomacy has been one of the finest instrument to achieve the goals of foreign policy of a country . Traditionally, sovereign state actors have used this tool in an exclusive way in order to protect national interests.

Summary/Abstract |
Most studies focus on the role of the sub-regional states in influencing India’s foreign policy towards other sovereign nations. This paper specifically discusses the role of the historical and cultural relations in influencing the foreign policy of Indonesia towards India. In this empirical piece we have contextualised the Odisha case to argue that Odisha’s influence is significant in the durable unhindered cordial relations between both the nations.

Summary/Abstract |
What makes us human beings? What makes us sovereign within ourselves? What gives value to our existence? What gives us the power to think and act? We believe without this capacity we will be reduced to just living beings. What is the factor that makes living beings into human beings? The immediate answer would be freedom. Freedom or liberty is the most important of all essential normative ingredients that make up the modern society.

Summary/Abstract |
Every sovereign country fancy to have independent foreign policy inclined to none. But the fact is that it inclines to one or the other great powers such as USA, Russia or China. Making of foreign policy for a country like India is not a simple task because of diversities. It is either influenced by culture, religion or regional aspirations or the requirement of economic gains. Absorption of labour force is another big problem for India and thus its policy with a country must take into consideration these facts.

Summary/Abstract |
Contributions of states in India towards promoting and protecting external relations with India’s neighbours have been largely underplayed and the main focus has been to highlight the negative impact that it has been creating. Undoubtedly, state’s interference towards conducting of foreign relations can have both negative as well as positive impact given the demographic character on both sides of the border.

Summary/Abstract |
Evolution of Indian democracy has provided opportunities to widen the scope of states in foreign policy decision making. Interference by states in foreign policy should not be viewed as negative as quite often the central government has used it for successful negotiations. But the central government should have more powers to aggregate conflicting opinions, check undue interference and parochial interests to promote better relationship with foreign countries.

Summary/Abstract |
In the present day world, international relations are of paramount importance. If we look back, it becomes evident that after the treaty of Westphalia and the end of the First and Second World Wars, the international system has witnessed an increasing growth in the development of nation states. The end product of this development is thus, the creation of an interaction between these nation states. (Bojang, 2018).

Summary/Abstract |
The regional dynamics of South Asia have been vitiated by the contentious issue of resource-sharing between and among its member-states since the dawn of decolonisation. Of the shared resources, the issue pertaining to water-sharing between India and Bangladesh festers till date, posing itself not only as a contentious factor between the two neighbouring states of South Asia, but also in the federal relations of the central government in India and the state government of West Bengal. The roots of the water-sharing dispute of the Teesta river can be traced back to the colonial policies, compounded by the absence of transparency and accountability of policy-makers and their lack of clear understanding of the dynamics of the issue.
