Description and Table of Contents

Description

The break-up of the Soviet Union in 1989 deprived India of its principal ally, politically and economically, and led to a reassessment of India's diplomatic and trading priorities. In this thorough analysis of the conduct of Indian foreign policy since Independence, the author argues that India should abandon its traditional policies of nonalignment, strengthen its economic and political links with the West and deal constructively with domestic problems such as Kashmir, Punjab, Assam and the minority communities.
