This book, enriched by contributions of serious
researchers, deals with different aspects of India’s foreign policy during the Modi
years. They have thrown light on the elements of change and continuity in
Modi’s foreign policy and on its fact-ones and dynamics. The book comprises
four broad sections, namely, India and Major Powers, India and South Asia,
India and Near abroad, and India and Continents-Africa and South America. Every
contributor, while studying India’s relation with one country or region, has
examined important factors of foreign policy such as geo-strategy,
geo-economics, ideology, national interest and personality. It is hoped that
policy-makers, academics and students will find this study worthwhile and
useful.
