How do the experts’ view the neutral stand of India?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Some international scholars believe that India cannot hold on to this neutral stand for long. This is incorrect as many successive governments in India, from Jawaharlal Nehru\u2019s to Narendra Modi\u2019s, have repeatedly asserted India\u2019s right to adopt an independent stand based on its national interests without aligning itself with any particular military bloc unless this was necessitated by national interest.<\/p>\n

From the 1962 war or the 1971 war or on other occasions, the Indian position has been defined by national interest. India\u2019s independent voice in international affairs is a manifestation of its national self-image<\/p>\n

What policy is adopted by India?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

According to Foreign Affairs Minister, India is working on the principle of the policy of multi-alignment<\/strong>, depending on context and issue at stake. India\u2019s national interest and national security are linked to maintaining her strategic autonomy, especially in an East-West conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
