Why Does India Have So Many 'Strategic Partners' and No Allies?

[IndoCarib]

The simple answer....attitude....India think that she is the superpower........and that's why they don't have good relations with all her neighboring countries.

did you read the article , Einstein ??

"Hence the addition of the “strategic” qualifier to the “partnership.” The method is a way for India to get its foot in the door for further diplomatic engagement on military and defense issues should circumstances change."

"India’s Strategic Partners: A Comparative Assessment,” the authors methodically rank India’s top strategic partners with a corresponding score out of 90 points. In the final ranking, Russia comes out on top with 62, followed by the United States (58), France (51), UK (41), Germany (37), and Japan (34)"

"Ultimately, my view on the “strategic partnership” meme in Indian foreign relations is that it allows a nation that has not entirely shed its non-aligned roots to experiment with comprehensive diplomatic engagement like never before. It’s a form of beneficial ambiguity for India: the foreign policy equivalent of a first date. If things go well, India may be likely to take things more seriously and ultimately begin using that long-dreaded A-word (alliance)".
