“…This approach has undoubtedly endeared Indian humanitarian efforts to the international community, which has long been concerned about the plight of one of the world’s foremost spiritual leaders and his followers (Kishwar, 2018: 4–5). For these reasons, leveraging its cultural diplomacy could have a positive impact on India’s foreign policy and diplomatic relations with other Buddhist countries, potentially strengthening the government’s larger policy objectives, such as its ‘Neighbourhood First’ approach (Aryal, 2021; Kishwar, 2018).…”

This article explores the proposition that India will become the world’s next superpower. It discusses the three defining criteria of a superpower – economic strength, military might and soft power – and examines the extent to which India fulfils them in comparison with the current reigning hegemon, the United States, and potential contender China. In doing so, this article examines the favourable conditions for, and possible impediments to, India’s prospects of attaining great-power status. Based on the analysis conducted, this study argues that the South Asian country’s hopes of rising into the league of superpowers will ultimately be dashed if its advantageous conditions are weakened by an inability or unwillingness to address some of its most pressing problems.

“…The dispute had to be armed clashes in 1965 (Misra,2001). Another example of self-esteem and hypernationalism we found during the negotiation on Siachen in 1992, when director-general of Indian military intelligence Inder Verma, put paid to Kumar's efforts who was Defense Secretary (Aryal, S.

The growing international concerns and changing dimensions in terms of global strategic interests are introducing the region of South Asia an epicenter of the great games, where the political situation of bordering states like Afghanistan are making the available options less opportunistic for Pakistan to decide where to go and whom to support. Unwillingly or unfortunately after the incident of 9/11, the world politics looked towards Pakistan as a coin of long life without knowing the reservations of its democratic society against the war on terror. Under the leadership of a Democratic President, the United States of America pushed a dictator in Pakistan to legitimize an ambiguous war. It was not very simple for Pakistan to jump into hell but the presence of president Musharraf made it easy for the US to achieve its objectives. The story is not as smooth and easy-going as it looks because as a result, Pakistan had lost a lot of what we have never thought and invested to vanish. It was a step, which affected Pakistan’s well-articulated and well-managed policy in the region, particularly for India and Afghanistan. Pakistan’s acceptance and support in the US-led war on terror placed a full stop for our future options and opportunities, which eventually opened new avenues for India, a state on the waiting list. India had always believed in the inversely proportional relationship for its progress when it comes to Pakistan and as result, we are suffering a lot. Interestingly and amazingly this is not an end but a new start for progressive Pakistan. In this paper, I will try to throw some light on the future and possible opportunistic ways for Pakistan to regain its progressive pace to become an ‘Asian Tiger’ by avoiding traditional conflictual policy with India. For that, I will emphasize and explore the causes, character, prospectus, and nature of the conflict in South Asia. For a brief look at the pace of the issue, this paper will also focus on the emergence and the effects of the nuclear environment in South Asia and possible prospects for conflict resolution.

India has a substantial hold over South Asia due to its strategic geo strategic location, strong economy, and powerful military. India's foreign policy towards its smaller neighbours in South Asia has seen significant development since its independence but it has undergone a considerable change under Prime Minister Modi's leadership, with a distinct emphasis on prioritising neighbouring countries in the South Asian region. Through this paper an effort has been made to examine India's Neighbourhood First policy in South Asia during the last decade. This research article analyses the current state of India's diplomatic ties with its bordering nations. This study is an attempt to scrutinise the challenges pose to India's neighbourhood policy with growing Chinese influence in South Asia. In the concluding section few suggestions have been offered how India can contribute to its neighbouring countries to strengthen its neighbourhood first policy.
