Modi’s Pakistan Policy: A Departure from the Past?

Narendra Modi has skillfully adapted the policy towards Pakistan to further his domestic political agenda and promote Hindutva. He has pursued his foreign policy according to international norms and tried to marginalize Pakistan by highlighting its failure on the front of eliminating infrastructures of terrorism from its territory. Modi has made terrorism and security the center stage of his policy towards Pakistan. However, he has not succeeded in the international isolation of Pakistan rather Pakistan has become the fulcrum of the emerging regional hegemony of China and a vital pillar of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative.
