India's Foreign Policy Under Modi: Balancing Strategic Autonomy and Global Engagement
India's foreign policy under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has evolved over 12 years, balancing strategic autonomy with deeper ties to major powers like the US and Russia. Modi's approach emphasizes coalition-building, Global South solidarity, and active participation in multilateral forums such as BRICS. While some sources highlight a confident, pragmatic diplomacy expanding India's global role, others note a return to non-alignment principles and critique Modi's handling of complex geopolitical realities, including relations with Israel, Palestine, and regional security challenges.
