There is a viewpoint that the foreign policy of India is in a dilemma, i.e., between joining the ‘developed North’ or leading the ‘developing South’. Analyse this viewpoint with plausible arguments. (Answer limit: 100 words, Marks 10) [RPSC 2023]
India’s foreign policy dilemma arises from its dual aspiration to align with the ‘developed North’ for economic growth and technology access, while also leading the ‘developing South’ as a champion of emerging economies. Aligning with the North may enhance trade and security cooperation, yet risks compromising India’s non-alignment and solidarity with developing nations. Conversely, championing the South can enhance India’s soft power and leadership in global forums but might limit economic partnerships with advanced economies. This tension reflects India’s struggle to balance national interests, strategic autonomy, and its role as a regional and global leader in a multipolar world.
