India isn't "non-aligned" anymore and nobody wants to admit it.

For decades, since Nehru to modi India built its identity around strategic autonomy. No capitalism or communism,No fixed alliances.

But look closer today:

– Defense ties with the US & Israel are deeper than ever

– Tensions with China define long-term strategy, no clear strategy to fight china

– Russia is still a key partner but increasingly complicated

So what are we now? Still non-aligned… or just selectively aligned?

Is this smart statecraft or quiet hypocrisy?

Curious to hear: Has India outgrown non-alignment, or just rebranded it? what do you think? should india choose a side?
