This Book is primarily designed for the educated layman who would like to understand how our foreign policy has evolved, what the basic motivations and governing ideas were, the principles on which it was founded and the political milieu in which it developed, the various and sometimes very serious challenges that it confronted at different times and how the various Prime Ministers faced those situations, the directions that it took under the stress of those challenges, the changes as well as the continuities, both fundamental to the understanding of the evolution and development of India's foreign policy.
It is, however, the hope of this author that serious analysts of foreign policy would also find it of some interest and that research scholars could use it as a base for further study.
I am grateful to the Chairman of the National Book Trust, Professor Bipan Chandra, for inviting me to write this book. I should also like to acknowledge my debt of gratitude to my editor Binny Kurian, for his unstinted help. The mistakes are my own.
