Recalibrating India’s Foreign Policy under Narendra Modi (2014–2025): From Strategic Autonomy to Multi-Alignment

Abstract This study examines the transformation of India’s foreign policy under Prime Minister Narendra Modi from 2014 to 2025, focusing on the shift from traditional strategic autonomy to a pragmatic framework of multi-alignment. Drawing on qualitative analysis of policy documents, diplomatic engagements, and scholarly literature, the paper argues that multi-alignment represents not a departure but an intensification of India’s long-standing strategic autonomy in a rapidly evolving multipolar world. The study highlights how India has simultaneously deepened defense cooperation with the United States, maintained strategic ties with Russia, and managed competitive yet economically significant relations with China. It further explores the role of key policy initiatives such as the Neighbourhood First and Act East policies in strengthening regional and trans-regional engagement. India’s active participation in multilateral and minilateral platforms, including BRICS, QUAD, and the G20, demonstrates its effort to position itself as a leading voice of the Global South. The findings suggest that India’s multi-alignment strategy enhances its diplomatic flexibility, maximizes strategic options, and reinforces its emergence as a pivotal global actor
