Incredibly grateful to examiners @GaskarthJamie & @clary_co for their valuable interventions, my supervisor @walterladwig for his guidance and support of @LeverhulmeTrust@KCL_CGS in my quest to explain the fall of Indian military interventionism.

✈️ Strategic interests, not #GlobalSouth ideals or domestic politics, drive engagement. There is certainly a method to the madness.
✈️ 🇮🇳's orientation towards the LIO is not fully conformist or revisionist.. BUT we do find more hints of the latter👇
https://t.co/GDIBu1D2gX
🇮🇳 not fully challenger❌OR status quo ✅ but shows more elements of former:
❌Preference for engaging rising powers
❌ Visits to Russian arms clients
✅ Avoiding US foes, engaging China's rivals
➖ VIPs avoid UN-sanctioned countries, but EAMs favor autocratic states (mixed)
