India’s Military Drills Send a Message to the World

India is expanding its military partnerships with several countries at once. A recent exercise, Tarang Shakti, shows this new approach. The exercise highlights two main trends. First, the Indian military is working more closely with key partner nations. Second, India is following a multi-vector foreign policy—meaning it builds ties with many different countries, not just one or two. This approach allows India to strengthen its global position while maintaining flexibility in its relationships.
