It is the power and power alone that counts. Achievement, expansion and demonstration of power are the key characteristics of all international relations. It is an all-pervasive phenomenon. This book has beautifully summarized various connotations of power. India has a vast potential of its own and its economic, political and military interests cover areas far beyond Asia. With its scientific and material resources, its size and its strategic location, India is already an important member of the international community. If it keeps growing economically at a fast rate, India will certainly increase its weight in international and regional affairs and be able to enhance its power posture.
