Impact of India’s Foreign Policy on Its National Interest

Abstract

Development of Nation-States and increasing interactions among them has resulted into formation of foreign policy in the modern times. Kautilya enunciated six basic principles of foreign policy in the form of ‘Circles of States’ in Arthashastra such as peace, war, neutrality, show of force, alliance, and making peace with one and waging war with another. These principles continue to remain effective instruments of diplomacy as they were several thousand years ago. Vasudhaiva Kutumbkam encompasses the modern concept of globalization, inter-dependence and co-existence. From the time of its independence or prior to that Indian foreign policy remains primarily responsive and characterized by relative caution. Post-cold war India has focused on two key aspects: realignment of its relations with the USA and adoption of nuclear weapon. Foreign policy of India assures its emergence as a power with an effective presence on the international stage. In the present scenario, political stability and regional peace are governing India towards a successful foreign policy and economic growth. Present paper discusses about the political and economic considerations within which foreign policy of India is being made and has changed in changing times.
