India's huge potential to be a force for stability and an upholder of the rules-based international system is far from being realised. Despite a rapidly rising defence budget, forecast to be the world's fourth-largest by 2020, India's politicians and bureaucrats show little interest in grand strategy. The Foreign Service is ridiculously feeble—India's 1.2 billion people are represented by about the same number of diplomats as Singapore's. The leadership of the armed forces and the political-bureaucratic establishment operate in different worlds. The defence ministry is chronically short of military expertise. These weaknesses partly reflect a pragmatic desire to make economic development at home the priority. India has also wisely kept generals out of politics. But Nehruvian ideology also plays a role. At home, India mercifully gave up Fabian economics in the 1990s. But diplomatically, 66 years after the British left, it still clings to the post-independence creeds of semi-pacifism and "non-alignment": the West is not to be trusted. India's tradition of strategic restraint has in some  ways served the country well. Having little to show for several limited wars with Pakistan and one with China, India tends to respond to provocations with caution. It has long-running territorial disputes with both its big neighbours, but it usually tries not to inflame them. India does not go looking for trouble, and that has generally been to its advantage. The writer believes that: OPTIONS     1) India's lack of a strategic culture hampers its ambition to be a force in the world.   2) India needs to give up its outdated philosophy of non-alignment.   3) India needs to take strategy more seriously and build a foreign service that is fitting for a great power.   4) All of the above. discuss | yesterday's solution | more questions Tip of the Day Two quadrilaterals are similar if their corresponding angles are equal.
