What india's foreign policies mean to the youths of india
Answers
First: Indian Economic Reforms that were launched in 1991, now in their third decade, have shown us that our basic goals, improved living standards for our people, social equity and achievement of basic development goals, demands a foreign policy that contributes to this national goal. This means expanded trade, foreign investments both into and out of India, obtaining vital inputs of technology, using our foreign aid program more effectively, in a ‘smart’ manner, and working with universities, scientific institutions and thinktanks in expanding their international connections, and helping civil society institutions for similar purposes. Thus international affairs enter our daily lives.
Second: In most fields of activity, foreign cooperation fits tightly with domestic actions. Take education as an example. Many more students study abroad than before, because this widens their horizons and gives them different kinds of training and experience. In our country, receiving foreign students helps improve our own standards, and produces interactions between home and foreign students that is to the advantage of both groups. Symbiosis International University is an outstanding example. That same situation is repeated in other fields of activity. Thus international interchanges serve our institutions, and benefit our people. This is especially true of a country such as India, which is a natural leader in information technology; we need to use global connections to develop that level of Indian engagement and leadership in other branches of knowledge industry.
Third: Relations with foreign countries are enriched by such domestic-international connections, because in those countries too, a similar process operates. The more we connect with them, in diverse fields, the deeper are the roots of peace and international stability. This is particularly true of countries with which we have unsolved problems, or ties that are mutually competitive, or even adversarial. For India, this applies to our relations with Pakistan and China. It makes sense to develop between such countries diversified connections, which help to anchor relations in mutually beneficial cooperation. That leads to growth of confidence in one another, and gradually transforms the context in which these countries look at one another. This has been Europe’s experience in the development of the European Union. Latin America and South East Asia have also shown how such a process of cooperation and mutual security takes root. The EU began as narrow focused cooperation in the coal and steel industry.In the past year or two realization has grown in Pakistan, and other neighbors, that they need to benefit from India’s economic growth. We need to work on that further.
