India’s Strategic Autonomy in a Multipolar World

By AC GRC

As the global order transitions from unipolarity to multipolarity, India’s pursuit of strategic autonomy has become a defining feature of its foreign policy. Navigating complex geopolitical dynamics among major powers like the United States, China, Russia, and the European Union, India continues to safeguard its national interests while promoting global stability and cooperation.

India’s approach is not about neutrality—it is about flexibility and balance. By engaging with diverse global blocs such as BRICS, QUAD, G20, and SCO, India seeks to enhance its strategic space and assert its independent voice in global decision-making.
