    21st Sep, 2022

Context:

With newer political challenges, alongside old-fashioned geo-political risks hovering around, India needs that its foreign policy planners rewire the way they look at issues.

  • Nonalignment of the past: The earlier version of non-alignment has not yielded expected outcomes, and it's time now to look for new ways to fructify “multiple engagements of the future”.
  • “Multi-alignment’ and challenges: Although the west has appreciated India's participation in Quad (Australia, Japan, India, and the U.S.), it will be interesting to see how things develop under the threats of imposed sanctions if India continued trade relations with Iran.
