Answer 2

The faith in ‘Indian exceptionalism’ pervades and defines India’s external relations. For Indians, the country is unique and thus deserving of global power status. In a speech in March 1949, India’s first prime minister and foreign minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, stated that it was inevitable for India to play an important global role ‘not because of any ambition of hers, but because of the force of circumstances, because of geography, because of history’.

Indian exceptionalism rests on the belief that there is something unique about the nation, which enabled it to gain independence without violence, revolution or war. Indian discourse often speaks of an ‘Indian character’ that will overcome odds and circumvent difficulties. In this case, they are not just ‘feel good’ avowals, but, rather, reflect a deep-seated way of thinking, similar to the messianic vision of the United States.
