“India’s simultaneous engagement with groupings like ASEAN, Quad, and BRICS reflects its multi-aligned foreign policy approach.” Discuss the opportunities and challenges this presents for India’s diplomacy.

Tips for your answer

  • Start with clarity: In the intro, define India’s “multi-aligned” approach and briefly mention ASEAN, Quad, and BRICS.
  • Balance both sides: In the body, write opportunities (global voice, trade, strategic balance) and challenges (conflicts between U.S.–China–Russia interests).
  • Conclude with direction: End with how India can maintain strategic autonomy while promoting a rules-based, inclusive Indo-Pacific order.
