. India Needs Gujral Doctrine For Better International Relations.

Hi guys,

The so-called Gujral doctrine has been treated by critics with a combination of dismay and derision as a policy of weakness and vacillation in a world where realpolitik matters. A country, it is said, must know its interest and pursue them relentlessly. Anything else can only send out wrong signals of lack of purpose and willingness to compromise even on essentials. Making "concessions" and conciliatory gestures is likely to encourage the other party to be increasingly loud and demanding in the belief that a little more pressure will bring further dividends

Gujral Doctrine is considered as a milestone in India's foreign policy. It was rendered by Mr. Inder Kumar Gujral, the Minister of External Affairs in H. D. Deve Gowda Government in 1996. This theory says that "India" as a bigger country of South Asia should give one-sided concession to her small neighbours and have cordial relations with them.
