India's Foreign Policy

Professor Manohar Lal Sondhi was one of the foremost thinkers of his generation on Indian foreign policy. Though his political activism is widely known his academic works have not got the kind of recognition they deserve. As India charts a new course in its foreign relations it is worth remembering and underlining how ahead of his times Prof. Sondhi was in articulating Indias aspirations and identifying ways and means to achieve them. His writings on Indian foreign policy speak to several key themes in India’s external relations today ranging from the role of non-alignment to the changing balance of power in the Indo-Pacific. This selection is intended to bring some of the writings of Prof Sondhi on Indian foreign policy to a wider audience and especially to a new generation of analysts at a time when Indian foreign policy is undergoing a remarkable transformation. This volume will be a significant addition to the growing literature on India’s changing foreign policy and will allow a new generation of scholars and students to get acquainted with one of Indias finest thinkers on strategic issues.
