It is well known that domestic politics has had a direct bearing on India’s foreign policy manoeuvring and posturing. This was most visible during the process of signing of the 123 nuclear deal with the United States and the Indian response to Sri Lanka’s demand for weapons and support to fight the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). In Subcontinental Drift: Domestic Politics and India’s Foreign Policy, Rajesh Basrur attempts to argue that the Indian foreign policy has been plagued by voluntary as well as involuntary drifts.
