This is a very well argued, thoughtful and historically astute reading of a new era in Indian Foreign Policy. It connects India's strategic thinking under Modi to an ideological framework in a novel and refreshing way. It will be a rewarding starting point for Indian foreign policy discussions. --Pratap Bhanu Mehta, Ashoka University

This is essential reading. Ian Hall brilliantly links the domestic imperatives driving current Indian foreign policy to the challenges India faces in a rapidly changing world. --Katharine Adeney, University of Nottingham

Hall tells the story of an ambitious leader s efforts to reinvent himself as much as his country s foreign policy and demonstrates that this project of reinvention has clear constraints and costs for India both at home and abroad. --Kate Sullivan de Estrada, University of Oxford
