Abstract
It would seem that Asia is experiencing a shift in the balance of power as a direct result of the fast rise of China and the relative weakening of the influence of the US. India has been looking for a strategy for adapting to this newly developed scenario. Since the 1990s, India has been steadily approaching the global importance ranks, notably since it started carrying out nuclear weapon tests in 1998 and continuing ahead. Since the beginning of the 21st century, India has been thought of as the nation that would come after China in its quest to achieve the rank of major power. India has a history of being secretive about its ambitions to become a great power; but, in 2015, the country announced its determination to pursue this goal. This transition is brought into light on by this article via the lens of India's policy orientation on the regional, local, and global levels as well as its importance in Indian context. The development of India has significant repercussions for the shifting of power in Asian countries.
