Abstract The foreign policy of contemporary India has inescapably influenced by the legacy of British India’s imperious regime. The independent India has striven hard during the preceding seven decades or so to triumph over the captivating influence of neo-colonial tendencies of the prosperous West. The overall assessment of India’s foreign policy since Independence unfolds the prevailing ambiguities in India’s foreign policy foundations and consequential initiatives. The very unresolved fishing dispute between India and Shri Lanka in Pak-Strait is an obvious case in point for India’s ambiguous foreign policy initiatives with ShriLanka. India’s recent decision to fence the entire border between India and Bangladesh over ongoing movement of Bangladeshi immigrants is another similar case in India’s failure to build cordial relations with her neighbor. There are persistent plural disputes with China and Pakistan. The current situation is suggestive of the fact that there is not so congeniality and precision in India’s foreign policy making process. This research paper overhauls Contemporary India’s prevailing foreign policy initiatives in the contextual backdrop of India-ShriLanka dispute over the fishing regimentation in the PaK Strait. Structural and Deconstructionist historiography has been contextually applied in the preparation of this research paper. • Foundations of India’s Foreign Policy Since Independence • Ambiguities in Foreign Policy Doctrines and Initiatives of India • Geo-Political Factors in India-Shri Lanka Foreign Policy Framework • Pak-Strait Dispute Resolution Policy between India and ShriLanka • The Long Road Ahead : Towards A Strategic and Bilateral Harmony Glossory Contemporary India, Doctrine of Harmony, Pak-Strait, Plural Disputes, Structural and Deconstructionist Historiography
