I
am no expert in foreign policy but as a Global Indian & keen follower
of Modiji & BJP’s politics over one & half decade, I have just tried to look, what would be basis of India's relation with outer world under Modiji's
govt. If you have been watching Narendra Modi’s speeches than slowly Foreign
Policy of Modiji led BJP is emerging. I will try to summarize it;
·
China- After Today’s
rally in Arunachal, I can safely conclude that with China it would be practical
talks as a self-respecting nation & kind of talks which happens between two
equal powers. We might see resolution of Arunachal issue & clear
recognition of Mc-Mohan line. Modiji will leverage Tibet issue & try to get
China out from Aksai Chin area.
·
Pakistan- It would
be tough retaliation based approach if Pak doesn’t stop its terror activities
against India. There can be great advancement in normalization of Indo-Pak
relation if Pak sheds its bleeding India to death mindset & put its house
in order.
·
Bangladesh- It
would be tough stand on illegal migration into India, but mutual development
projects in Oil & Gas, Ports Development & retail sector.
·
Srilanka- Modiji
will insist on territorial integrity of Srilanka but will emphasize on giving
political autonomy to Tamils in Srilanka.
·
Nepal- Modiji will
insist on development & mutual respect based ties with Nepal. He may try to
remove China’s influence in Nepal.
·
Afghanistan- Modi
led government will invest heavily in Infrastructure & social sector. Afghanistan
will be a key strategic balance against any evil design of Pakistan.
·
Modiji today made
a great point regarding Hindus facing trouble anywhere in the world. He said
his government will welcome Hindus facing atrocities in their native land as
India is natural choice for them to come & settle. He made this comments
for Pakistani, Bangladeshi & Fijian Hindus facing atrocities in their land.
I would just want him to expand this definition to some other minorities such
as Ahmedias, Sikhs & Christians in Bangladesh & Pakistan.
·
EU- Modiji will
focus more on building relation with EU countries than US. Technical collaboration
with EU will happen in area of Wind Energy, Industrial machineries &
nuclear power. He might visit EU countries first than US.
·
Russia- It will be
building on old relationship & joint investment in hi tech defense sector.
·
US- with US,
Modiji will insist on partnership of Equals & make US recognize India's
interest first. He won’t toe US line on international forums unless it suits
India’s interests. He will leverage India vis a vis China.
·
Japan & Korea-
Modiji will treat Japan & Korea as the most trusted partner in terms of
Infrastructure Development & revival of ship building sector.
·
South East Asia-With
South East Asia, it would be rekindling of Look East policy of Atal Bihari
VajpayeeJi & strengthening civilizational ties between SE Asian countries
& India.
·
Africa- With
Africa, he would try to outdo China by emphasizing on old cultural links &
become Africa's development partner by giving & taking solution for common
problems such as poverty alleviation, drinking water, electricity & use of
IT.
·
Middle East Asia-With
Middle East, he might try to balance Saudi Arabia & Iran. He might have a
tilt towards Iran over Saudi Arabia.
·
Israel- Israel is
going to be a major partner in terms of anti-terrorism, agriculture &
advance defense technology specifically anti-missile shield development.
·
South America- He
might try to develop deeper relationship based on cultural, sport exchanges
& use of natural resources.
I
am again reiterating that I am no expert, but I think Modiji’s foreign policy
will broadly revolve around above points.
