Abstract India is one of the ancient civilizations that has it’s influence over the world. The roots of Indian civilization in the form of ideas theories philosophies are present in the world and can be traced all over. Example : Kautilya’s Arthasastra on statecraft and foreign policy. The journey of Indian foreign policy began times immemorial and turned robust in the 20th century. The dynamism in the foreign policy has made India to stand among the Global powers and exert it’s
influence. India faced tough times when the ideal leaders in the initial stages formulated policies that were far away from the hard realities. The 21st century leaders through the realist approach to the foreign policy have created a level playing field for India in the multipolar world balancing the super powers. India has contributed immensely to the world community mainly in the International organizations striving to promote the world peace. The brotherhood nature of India can be witnessed in the polices like Non Aligned Movement, Look East, Act East, vaccine maitri, developmental programs in Afghanistan etc. With the changing world order India has shifted it’s gears through the strong foreign policy ensuring the national interests and also the World peace. The role played by India in UNO and all the regional groupings is aiming only at the goal of making world the better place to live with peace and co operation.
