India is a huge in terms of geographical size, economic and military might vis-à-vis its neighbours. India’s relations with its smaller neighbours have been showing signs of stress due to changing geo-political situations. Consequently, India is criticized as ‘big brother’, ‘bully’, a common thread seen across neighbours.
The reasons for levelling such charges against India are:
India’s policies toward her neighbours have been guided by the principles of Panchasheel (Non-interference in others internal affairs and respect for each other’s territorial unity integrity and sovereignty).
More recently, India also came up with the Gujral doctrine, which has been leading the relations with our neighbours. The “Gujral Doctrine” sought to end India’s endless contestations with neighbours and offered to walk the extra mile in resolving longstanding problem. This doctrine basically projected India as a benign big brother so that peace can be maintained. As a benign big brother, India would give concessions to all except Pakistan without any reciprocal return expectation. It was of non-reciprocal accommodation of India’s neighbours.
India’s foreign policy has aimed at helping the neighbours and a peaceful co-existence as evident through the following instances.
Way Forward:
Conclusion:
India has been active proponent of strong South Asia. However, there are aspersions by neighbours which has led to soured relations. Increased engagement with mutual support can help South Asia be more integrated and a developed region. The neighbourhood first policy should be continued to implement in its full force.
