ABSTRACT = {Since 2014, India’s foreign policy has undergone a visible transformation
marked by greater diplomatic assertiveness, energetic global outreach, and the
construction of new ideological narratives. This review examines how the period
from 2014 to 2025 has reshaped India’s external engagements through a
combination of strategic recalibration, leadership-driven diplomacy, and
civilizational framing. The paper analyzes major themes such as India’s
transition from a traditionally cautious foreign policy toward a more proactive
and multi-aligned strategy, the rise of the Indo-Pacific as a central
geopolitical space, and the growing emphasis on national identity in shaping
global interactions. It highlights how India’s leadership has increasingly
employed public diplomacy, branding, and high-level summits to project national
confidence and enhance India’s international visibility. The review also
explores soft power initiatives, economic diplomacy, diaspora engagement, and
India’s efforts to balance major power rivalries while asserting its
independent voice in global governance. Overall, the study argues that the Modi
era represents a complex blend of continuity and innovation, combining
long-standing strategic principles with new ideational narratives and diplomatic
frameworks that aim to elevate India’s global stature in an evolving multipolar
world.},
