India's anticipated rise to prominence in what has been termed the
'Asian 21st century' will have a significant impact upon
geopolitics in the coming decades. As India's stature continues to
increase across Asia and the world, appreciating which interests
and principles structure the country's international interaction
has never been more important. Central to these dynamics is how
India's identity - and the longstanding values, principles and
practices underpinning it - acts as the paramount factor that
deeply structures the conduct of its international affairs.
Acknowledging this centrality, this edited volume uses this factor
as its foremost theme of analysis through which to understand and
analyse India's most important regional, great power and diplomatic
interactions. Not only providing a mechanism better to appreciate
the historical foundations of these relationships, the focus on
identity is also necessary to appreciate how the Hindu nationalism
of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) under the leadership of
Narendra Modi is now permeating Indian diplomacy. For the BJP, the
pursuit - and attainment - of global influence and heightened
status is the driving imperative of the BJP with regard to India's
contemporary international affairs. Chapter 6 of this book is
