As we all know that in the early 1960s India was facing very high shortage of foodgrains. So government planned new agricultural policies that marking the start of the Green Revolution.

In order to buy foodgrains from farmers and to encourage farmers to produce required crops there had to be a policy on pricing. Therefore in 1965, an Agricultural Prices Commission was set up to advise on the pricing policy ...

Who was responsible for differences in Indo-US relations in early 1950s to 2000? Recently India's foreign minister S. Jaishankar criticized first PM J.L.Nehru for not forging good relations with USA. Let us clear what was the actual scenario at that time and we will see India's foreign policy approach with respect to USA in early days just after independence to upto 2000. As we all know that after the second world war there was cold war era from 1945 to 1991 between westerns block of democratic countries led by USA and eastern bloc of communist countries led by USSR. It was also the era of independence as many Asian and African countries getting independence mainly from western block countries.

  India's Historic and Cultural Ties Vs China's Economic Power. How China's economic power is winning over India's historic and cultural relations in its neighbourhood. In today's Geopolitical world relations are changing as fast as technology. Very recently we have observed that china is advancing in India's neighbourhood very rapidly, especially in Indian Ocean. Here we are going to analyse how and why China advancing in India's neighbourhood. There are two important aspects of this. One is India's historic and cultural ties with the neighbours and second is China's economic advantage over India.  India always talk about its strong historic and cultural relations with the neighbours. But, is this enough or is it always a positive point? In today's world where economy rules the world, historic and cultural ties has less significance. See, India's relations with Nepal are said like 'Roti- Beti relations'. If this is so then,why Nepal ...

China-Maldives relations  are not bilateral, But a bigger game of Geopolitics. How India should approach? The recent changes in Maldives foreign policy and it's closeness to Beijing are a bigger Geopolitics plan than it seems. India and Sri Lanka have deep historic, cultural and economic ties. Sri Lanka being a neighbour and it's strategic location in Indian Ocean make it very crucial for India. But, today's world relations are governed more by Geopolitics rather than historic and cultural links. In this aspect China have taken the advantage of being economically stronger than India. That why China sealed the Hambantota and Colombo ports deals in Sri Lanka which raised the security concerns for India. Now, we see Maldives on the same path. But it is not only Maldives path, China have travelled a more longer route to reach out to Maldives, the second strategic location in India's neighbour in Indian Ocean. It is merely not the diplomatic relations between the two countri...
