Description
Summary:This article traces key episodes in India's history and seeks to relate these to the country's foreign policy as it has evolved since 1947. Particular themes relating to perceptions formed by Indians during the Raj include India's overriding quest for autonomy and suspicion of all but the most necessary alliances, its commitment to non-intervention in the internal affairs of states, and its related attachment to the principle of state sovereignty, all of which continue to strongly influence Indian policy today.
