The authors examine India's relationship with the world's superpowers and its search for superpower status since independence in 1947. Central to their argument is India's belief that the acquisition of an independent nuclear capability is a key factor in acquiring such status. The introductory chapters explore the early years of India's independence, and the book concludes with a penetrating analysis of the post-Cold War period and recent developments in the region. The book makes an important contribution to the understanding of the region for students, policymakers and journalists.
