India needs to take a stand of what all is happening in it's neighbourhood, but what is the right way of doing the same. In a first of its kind invitation Shri Narendra Modi, the PM designate had extended an invitation for the swearing in ceremony to be held on the 26th of May, 2014, to all the SAARC nation leaders.
Yesterday the Pakistani PM Mr. Nawaz Sharif had accepted the invitation and Bangladesh is being represented by the Speaker of the House Dr. Shirin Sharmin Chaudhary. In a first of its kind invitation it seems Mr. Modi is looking forward to creating stronger ties with all the neighbouring countries right from day one. What needs to analysed is that due to certain decisions taken by the previous government, Indian ties with neighbouring countries have weakened.
A countries foreign policy needs to take in consideration various factors, while deciding on its course of action pertaining to the countries that surround it. There is a lot of action that is taking place in South East Asia lately and China has been trying hard to isolate India, thus our foreign policy needs to focus on our neighbours in order to maintain cordial relationships on every front; it is important for India not only to focus on its internal strengthening but also its surroundings, as it will not only help India grow in terms of business but also a world power.
In a recent run of events a group of Tamil students started protesting against the invitation sent to to the Sri Lanka, President Mr. Rajapaksa, what these small groups are missing out on is that, India can only influence Sri Lanka, to have a better approach towards Tamil Residents, if they have cordial relationships. To further the Tamil cause in Sri Lanka, Indian government needs to create stronger ties with them in order to demand better conditions. As per reports by PTI, Sri Lanka has released a group of Indian fishermen as a goodwill gesture ahead of Mr. Modi's swearing in ceremony, this should be considered as sign of good thing in future.
Over all what we all need to see is what does Mr. Modi do in terms of foreign policy after taking the hot seat, as in the past decade India seems to have lost a lot of ground on that front.
