If India is coming to the realization that it cannot achieve its foreign policy goals by interferring in the internal affairs of neighbouring countries so arrogantly as it has done in the past, that would be a welcome start. It certainly looks as if Modi is much different than his predecessors. We should give him the benefit of doubt. He is the first prime minister to visit Nepal in 17 years and declared mending the relationship with the neighbours as his main foreign policy agenda. He seems to be a man of his words if you look at his track record. He is a man with some vision. He can see that India can achive its regional security goals only if it builds some credibility among the neighbours. He is helping us to help India. Only time will tell how it will play out. Having Gandhis in charge of Inida would make us much worse off.
