Overview
India's foreign policy, its strategic choices in a complex global environment, and its engagement with major powers and regions are central to GS2 International Relations. The concept of strategic autonomy is a fundamental principle guiding India's external affairs.
Strategic autonomy is a cornerstone of India's foreign policy, enabling it to pursue independent national interests and maintain flexibility in its international engagements. In an evolving multipolar global order, India seeks to leverage shifting geopolitical dynamics to enhance its influence and capabilities without aligning exclusively with any single power bloc.
