Zafar Alam Dr

Abstract: The present study geo- strategic dimensions of Indias foreign policy gives a specific understanding of Indias place on the earth focusing on its strengths and shortcomings from the geo-strategic point of view as a nation. Himalayas and oceans were considered as natural formidable barriers from the security point of view for India once upon a time but the developments in science and technology have changed the meanings of security. Location, size, population, natural resources and many other related aspects have been highlighted in this study, whereas a histro-analytical approach has been used while writing this research paper and predominantly, a comparative study has been also undertaken into account by giving a glimpse of international perspectives particularly of those nations regarded to be having a stronger foreign policy and enjoying a lot of privileges because of their geo-strategic positions.
