Synopsis This book studies Indian foreign policy in its historical perspectives both horizontally as well as vertically. The role of Jawahar Lal Nehru in formulating Indian foreign policy has been highlighted properly. Indian foreign policy has been discussed and analysed in all its dimensions for example, Indian foreign policy and super powers; Indian foreign policy and the Afro-Asian world; Indian foreign policy and its neighbours, like China and Pakistan. It is hoped that the book will be able to provide rich material for serious students of Indian foreign policy planners administrators and politicians alike.
