India’s foreign relations policy under the current prime minister Narendra Modi was initially seen as a continuation of the previous governments position. This perception, however, has started to change as Modi’s government has adopted a more assertive approach to international affairs. The ‘assertive or aggressive approach’ has also begun to transform India’s Middle East or West Asia relations in recent years. This paper attempts to introduce the ideological and intellectual bases of India’s two main political parties, the current ruling Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) and its predecessor the Indian National Congress (INC).
The INC governments had developed India-West Asia relations largely on three exigencies and principles. Firstly, that India stood in solidarity with all colonized countries, including Arab countries, against colonialism and imperialism. Secondly, that India defended the unity of the Arab-Islamic world vs. Israel in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and thirdly, that India was dependent on Middle Eastern energy resources. However, as time passed, this blueprint was reinterpreted and simultaneously, India’s domestic political landscape generated stronger post-colonial narratives which diminished the INC’s erstwhile political narratives and worldview. This paper outlines these shifts and discusses why India’s Middle East relations under the Narendra Modi government should be seen not as a continuity with, but rather as a rupture from previous Indian policy in the region. The paper will argue that the BJP’s worldview is particularly shaped by its ideological imaginations in which India is projected to play a far bigger role in world affairs.
