Abstract
India is following Pakistan centric foreign policy since independence.
Encircling Pakistan on its borders and isolating it in the comity of the
world has been remained the fundamental objective of India‟s foreign
policy. India enjoys good diplomatic relations with the all major powers
as well as with the Muslim countries of the world. It remained a close
strategic partner of former Soviet Union till the 1990. After the collapse
of the Soviet it cultivated intimate friendship with the United States of
America but did not damage its ties with the Soviet. US is now a strategic
partner of India and favors for her permanent seat in the UN. India has
also mended fences with Beijing in order to promote its trade and
diminish the significance of Pak-China friendship. Moreover, India‟s
relations with Afghanistan and Iran remained significant throughout
history but since 9/11 it has taken practical steps to strengthen ties with
these countries in order to create unease for Pakistan in her neighborhood.
Although India has well established reputation across the world but its
anti-Pakistan policies are enough to show her real face to the world. India
tactically uses its intimate ties with all regional countries and world
power against Pakistan. India has still not accepted Pakistan‟s existence
and all the time remained busy in hatching conspiracies to undo Pakistan.
This paper provides a detail study regarding India‟s evil designs against
Pakistan as well as the extent to which it has been successful in her
ambitions. The study also provides understanding on Pakistan‟s policies
to counter India‟s designs.
