Serving as Prime Minister during a critical transitional period (1998\u20132004), Vajpayee redefined India\u2019s global strategy by combining strategic realism with diplomatic restraint and visionary leadership. This article analyzes Vajpayee\u2019s contributions to India\u2019s foreign policy, focusing on nuclear policy, regional diplomacy, engagement with global powers, and the balance between hard power and soft power. It argues that Vajpayee\u2019s approach remains highly relevant in the 21st century, particularly in an era characterized by multipolarity, strategic competition, and complex security challenges. By situating Vajpayee\u2019s policies within contemporary global dynamics, the study demonstrates how his vision continues to shape India\u2019s diplomatic trajectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Vajpayee, Indian Foreign Policy, Nuclear Doctrine, Diplomacy, Strategic Autonomy, Global Strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 389-395<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/389-395.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Nargis Tanjima DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/04010049 Abstract: The evolution of India\u2019s foreign policy in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries cannot be fully understood without examining the leadership of AtalBihari Vajpayee.
