AbstractIn an era marked by rapid geopolitical shifts, India’s foreign policy has evolved to address emerging challenges and opportunities on the global stage. This paper examines the adaptive strategies employed by India in response to the changing dynamics of international relations, including the rise of multipolarity, the resurgence of great power competition, and the increasing significance of regional alliances. By analyzing key diplomatic initiatives, strategic partnerships, and India’s role in multilateral organizations, the study highlights how India navigates complex geopolitical landscapes while striving to enhance its global standing. The findings underscore the importance of flexibility and pragmatism in India’s foreign policy, as it seeks to balance national interests with global responsibilities in a rapidly changing world.
