India, balancing, foreign policy, US, China, sovereignity, global dynamics, armed forcesAbstract
India attained its independence in 1947, at the height of the Cold War. Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first prime minister, pursued nonalignment while fostering positive ties with the Soviet Union. “Strategic Sovereignty” developed due to the dissolution of the Soviet Union, which forced India to rebuild and maintain cordial relations with both the Western Bloc and China. India has since maintained a balanced stance with the US-led Western bloc, which includes Europe, Russia, and China. However, China is a crucial issue because it and India are the two rising global and Asian superpowers. However, China and India are on opposite sides of the river bank regarding matters involving border disputes and the Indian Ocean region. India has been driven toward the West due to shifting global dynamics, China’s rise to prominence, Russia’s dependence on China, and its proximity to and dependence on China. India, on the other hand, won’t lose interest in Russia either. Particularly given that Russia is a trusted strategic ally of India and that approximately 70% of the equipment used by our armed forces is of Russian origin.
