speech on india's role in neighbouring countries in present scenario
Answers
India has always been known as a peace-loving country and has always strived hard to champion the cause of peace in the world. Being a country with a huge population of 1.5 billion people, India is surrounded by many neighbouring countries with whom she has traditionally tried to maintain friendly and good-neighbourly relations.
India’s neighbours are Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. But from strategic point of view we will take Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal as a case study. Ever since India got her independence in 1947 she was eager to have friendly relations with all the countries of the world particularly her neighbours, with Pakistan being on the top of her priority list. With the exception of China and Pakistan, India has cordial and friendly relations with all her neighbours though problems keep brewing up.
India is a vast geographical nation-state sharing borders,both land and maritime,with several countries. Not always are these neighbours disposed to maintaining friendly relations with India,and vice versa. Policy and utility directs the nature of interactions with these countries.
