Economic & Political WeeklySummary: India’s efforts to maintain its primacy and remain a sole Vijigishu (a central power) in the South Asian Mandala, through its “Neighbourhood First Policy,” have come under unprecedented strain as China’s economic, strategic, and diplomatic influence increasingly permeates the region, eroding New Delhi’s traditional advantages of proximity, historical and cultural ties. To reverse this trend, India must reimagine its regional strategy—delivering more competitive economic projects, pursuing respectful, egalitarian diplomacy, and revitalising its pluralistic soft power. – Reproduced
