Ganguly provides a clear and succinct introduction to the evolution of Indian foreign policy over the six decades since 1947. The book covers the ideational period, starting immediately after Independence and ending with the Sino-Indian border war of 1962; the period between 1962 and the end of the Cold War, and India’s adjustments following the triumph of the US-led bloc; as well as current trends and debates, unresolved tensions and possible future directions.
