| Indian Diplomacy in 2025 | | |
Asad Mirza
India’s foreign policy in 2025 continued to be anchored in the dual ethos of “Bharat First” and “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,” balancing national interest with global cooperation. Strategic autonomy, non-alignment, and economic diplomacy remained central pillars of its international engagement.

While early 2025 saw optimism with the launch of “Mission 500” to boost bilateral trade to $50... |

The concept, planning and execution of armed insurgency, which employed high skills of involving the local majority population of Kashmir, overtly or covertly, into the plan of creating a multi-faceted wedge in Kashmir civil society, remains a rare negative achievement of the handlers of Kashmir militancy.
