India’s Constitutional Vision of Global Order

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Embodied in Article 51, directing the state to promote international peace, maintain just relations, and encourage dispute settlements through arbitration. This normative stance shaped India’s non-aligned movement leadership, anti-colonial advocacy, and preference for multilateralism (e.g., UN, WTO). Constitutional mandates encourage forging treaties that uphold fairness, disarmament, and global development. Despite realpolitik constraints, India historically aligned foreign policy with Gandhian principles of peace and cooperation. Post-liberalization, economic diplomacy and strategic alliances gained momentum, yet the moral undercurrent remains visible in humanitarian aid, global climate commitments, or championing the Global South. This synergy shapes India’s image as a responsible, peace-oriented power.
