Ever since its independence, India’s foreign policy couldn’t break shackles and this prevented the country from emphasising and imposing its view point in more emphatic manner on other countries and on the world.
This resulted in even tiny nations take India for granted. Right after independence India depended on Britain for economic support and drifted towards Russia, on the pretext of non-aligned moment, forcing USA to side with Pakistan in the cold war regime.
In order to impress Muslims and not to antagonise their feelings, India ignored Israel for many decades and though India voted for Arab and other OPEC nations on various forums, they always shocked India on Kashmir issue, taking anti India stand.
India lost precious territory to China and Pakistan due to blurred foreign policies followed by Congress party and lack of vision prior to Independence resulted in breaking of the United India to various tiny nations. India lost friendly territory Tibet and even paid heavy price by ignoring Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal for decades with China and other enemy nations taking advantage of it.
Though BJP led NDA govt headed by PM Modi is pushing India on the world stage with aggression, its obsession and confusion regarding tackling Pakistan is stalling its march. Congress earlier committed the blunder of giving back Pak entire territory for nothing and BJP did the same mistake during Kargil war. Unless until India develops clear cut foreign policy it continues to make fool of itself.
