Yet, many believe that India's economic troubles at home are far more pressing and that foreign policy aspirations can wait. But is a proactive foreign policy really a 'luxury' for India, to be postponed until the economy develops; or is it, in fact, a prerequisite for economic growth in a globalized world? Why should the average Indian citizen care about foreign policy? And how can a proactive foreign policy help Indians become more prosperous? Scanning our ever-changing world from east to west, and defining India's national interests and needs, Mohamed Zeeshan passionately argues that India needs a more coherent strategy for its relations with the outside world. Through travels and debates across continents, Zeeshan lays out a vision for how India can champion the cause of global good.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMohamed Zeeshan\u003c\/b\u003e is a foreign affairs columnist, consultant and the editor-in-chief of \u003ci\u003eFreedom Gazette\u003c\/i\u003e.
