Taking the readers on an insightful journey through 75 pivotal moments that have shaped India’s foreign policy since 1947, Power and Purpose: Rediscovering Indian Foreign Policy in Amrit Kaal serves not only as a valuable resource for academic research but also as an accessible guide for the general public. It offers objective and succinct analyses of key events in India’s foreign policy landscape.
The analyses are provided through a periodization of four waves—it starts with the era of state building and the Nehruvian outlook, followed by a period of regional consolidation and antagonisms; the third wave navigates through a phase when India was just opening up to the world, paving the way for transformative progress that has led it to its fourth and current wave, setting India on the path to global leadership. This journey from the past to the present fulfils two other purposes. First, it aims to provide the reader with objective insights into what created and shaped contemporary Indian foreign policy. This fuels its second purpose, wherein it aims to provide a window into contemporary foreign policy for future analysts to broadly understand how Indian foreign policy was perceived 75 years post its Independence, as it entered the next phase of Amrit Kaal.
