What's strategic autonomy and why is it important for India? | Realpolitik

In this episode of Realpolitik, Stanly Johny explores the complexities of India's foreign policy and its balancing act between the U.S. and Russia.
Since independence, all Indian governments have adhered to strategic autonomy in various forms-non-alignment, multi-alignment, multi-engagement, or multi-directional foreign policy.
Today, the global order is changing, and while the United States remains the world's most powerful country the world order is no longer unipolar. China, already the world’s second-largest economy, is rising as a strong competitor to America’s global primacy. Russia is challenging Western security architecture in Europe militarily.

India was born on 1949 but Bharat is Ancient😌

[@mausamjha8545]

Informative

[@vipulan]

Nice

[@TheDeepening718]

Just because you guys are tolerant of other's beliefs doesn't mean I can stamp 'Hinduism' onto a bible, change out God and Jesus with Krishna and Vishnu and call it a sect of Hinduism.

[@owaisdar3308]

Your articles ,though at times repetitive in facts, allow a reader to get insights into working of foreign relations better than anyone else’s can.

[@SenorSol]

China, 3 gold medals already. India....1 bronze! 😳

[@VinodBandari-ps5yd]

india won 3 world cup ( cricket) ,how many china has?

[@SenorSol]

@@VinodBandari-ps5yd The Chinese don't play the British sport of cricket! They play all of the most major and important sports, and usually do very well. Frankly, the rest of the world doesn't care about cricket world cups, it's the Olympics that count. You need to ask, why does India always do so poorly in the Olympics?

[@VinodBandari-ps5yd]

@@SenorSol then stop comparing india with china when u know fully that only cricket is popular among Indians!

[@SenorSol]

@@VinodBandari-ps5yd But Indians try to compare themselves with China all the time, and are essentially very jealous of China's rapid progress and development and far superior infrastructure! For every Indian idiot who laughably claims India will be a 'superpower' by 2035, one only has to compare the train systems in each country, and of course the number of gold medals India fails to win at the Olympics!! Can you imagine how bored Indians would be without cricket? What would do all day, play Kabaddi???? Thank you Britain for inventing and introducing cricket to India!
