When global wars break out, many countries choose sides, but India often takes a different path. From the Cold War to recent conflicts like the Russia–Ukraine war and the Israel–Hamas war, India has largely followed a policy of neutrality and strategic balance. After independence, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru helped shape this approach, which later became part of the Non-Aligned Movement alongside leaders like Gamal Abdel Nasser and Josip Broz Tito. Today, India describes this approach as Strategic Autonomy, maintaining relations with multiple powers, from the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue to partners like Russia, France, and Israel, while prioritizing its own national interests and diplomacy. #IranIsraelWar #IndiaForeignPolicy #IndiaNeutrality #IranVsIsrael #IndiaGeopolitics #MiddleEastConflict
