His doctoral thesis, undert aken at the International Politics Division, Centre for International Polit ics, Organization and Disarmament, at Jawaharlal Nehru University examined post-partition ideas and practices of sovereignty in India and Pakistan.

This talk will o utline the deep transformation of India’s worldview spanning the past three decades and still ongoing. Nonalignment, in its Nehruvian conceptualizatio n, was a sophisticated and strategically nuanced Indian worldview that soug ht to combine the goals of transcending and transforming the international order. It substantively governed India’s foreign policy until the early-196 0s. With Nehru’s death, and in the face of newer international political an d security challenges, India abandoned nonalignment in practice while conti nuing to pay lip-service to it, using it to seek international status and i nfluence. Dr. Mishra will argue that since the mid-1980s, a parallel develo pment has unfolded. Alongside expressions of commitment to nonalignment, th ere has been a long, gradual and thoroughgoing revision of the Indian world view. A further development in this process has been the emergence of two d ivergent strands of thinking on India’s engagement with the world: a Libera l strand, which builds upon elements of Nehruvianism and Liberalism within the Indian polity, and an amalgam of ideas called the ‘Modi Doctrine’, whic h traces its lineage to the international thinking within Political Hinduis m. The elements of order shaping and the pursuit of wealth, power and statu s remain common to both strands, but they also differ in crucial ways. The talk will highlight their differences, focusing especially on the features and limitations of the ‘Modi Doctrine’.
