Describe determinating elements of Indian foreign policy.

India represents a clear and strong foreign policy that is based on co-operation and virtue. There are different elements that played an important role in determinating foreign policy. These are as follows:

a) India decided to keep away from alliance and military groups and formed Non -Aligned policy. This means India is not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc.

b) Security is a motto of the Indian government and for which it created a strong defense system. Country's integrity and unity are also an important matter.

c) Geographical factors played an important role in making Indian foreign policy. For instance India, it is covered by powerful neighbors such as China on one side and Pakistan on the other. So peaceful co-existence is important for the smooth functioning of the nation.

d) The values of Ancient Indian culture such as Global fraternity, Peace, and Humanity helped in making Indian foreign policy. Even our freedom fighters and political leaders had left its impact.

Thus these are the elements that determine in the making of Indian foreign policy.
