This book details the latest developments on the existing literature in PM Modi's take on the nation's foreign policy. The muscular, aggressive and proactive foreign policy tenor of the post 2014 regime is much different than the previous denominations. The strangulation and global isolation of Pakistan coupled with the containment of China are two laudable achievements of Modiji. The enunciation of the tenet of Vishwa guru has heralded a new dominant phase in the foreign policy praxis in the nation. All in all, the buttressing ushered in by the Indic perspective of IR is a notable first. The book also draws upon New Delhi's relations with great powers and thematic issues of the order of climate change and disarmament in a novel manner. The harking back to the Sanatani tradition of Videsh neti completes the casket of Raisina Hill's foreign policy in tandem with the over arch of New India.
