The recent India-Pakistan crisis, while once again raising the specter of war in South Asia, also highlighted that the likes of France, Germany, Australia, and the United States are willing to stand behind India in the international arena. In Pakistan, most believe that this is because of India’s economic heft and the size of its market. This view lacks depth and ignores the fact that the evolution of India’s strategic outlook has led the country to go from being a protest voice on the international stage to a nation-state that is actively shaping the international order.

Following independence, India’s strategic outlook was shaped by Jawaharlal Nehru, who viewed the West with skepticism and had a rosy view of socialist ideals. This led to foreign policy that was built on three key pillars: nonalignment in the international arena; preservation of autonomy in domestic affairs; and solidarity among developing nations, particularly those that had recently gained independence from colonial powers. This policy continued throughout the Cold War, when India leaned toward the Soviet Union while deftly maintaining strategic autonomy and charting its own course in a bipolar international order.
