| Abstract: | Abstract This research paper examines India’s evolving foreign policy strategy as it navigates complex geopolitical tensions between its traditional partner Russia and its growing alignment with Western powers through the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad). The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the subsequent Western sanctions against Moscow have placed India in a diplomatically delicate position. India has maintained strong ties with Russia in defense, energy, and strategic cooperation while simultaneously deepening its partnerships with the United States, Japan, and Australia to counterbalance China’s rise in the Indo-Pacific. This paper explores how India balances these competing interests by adhering to its long-standing principle of strategic autonomy. It analyzes India’s defense dependence on Russia, its rising energy trade amidst sanctions, its growing Quad commitments, and the broader implications for regional security and global order. The research finds that India’s foreign policy is neither passive non-alignment nor opportunistic balancing, but a deliberate strategy to safeguard its national interests amid shifting global power dynamics. Through pragmatic engagement and issue-based alliances, India aims to assert its role as a sovereign, multipolar power while avoiding entanglement in great power conflicts. The paper concludes that India’s approach offers a model for middle powers seeking autonomy in a polarized world. |
