GUJRAL DOCTRINE

 UPSC GS MAIN IMPORTANT QUESTIONS


What is meant by Gujral Doctrine? Does it have any relevance today? Discuss.


The Gujral Doctrine is a set of five principles to guide the conduct of foreign relations with India's immediate neighbours as spelt out by I.K.Gujral.



 Among the factors, these five principles arise from the belief that India's stature and strength cannot be divorced from the quality of its relations with it neighbours. It, does, recognises the supreme importance of friendly, cordial relations with neighbours. These principles are: 

1.with neighbours like Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal and Srilanka, India does not asked for reciprocity, but gives and accommodates what it can in good faith and trust;

2. no South Asian country should allow its territory to be used against the interest of another country of the region;

3. no country should interfere in the internal affairs of another;

4. all South Asian country must respect each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty; and,

5. they should settle all they disputes through peaceful bilateral negotiations.

The Gujral Doctrine called for a generous Indian approach to the neighbours, If they were ready to respect India's security concerns. The importance of his office contribution is reflected in the fact that the doctrine has remained the cornerstone of India's neighbourhood policy. 

The principle that all the disputes be settled through peaceful bilateral negotiation is a known stand which India has held for long.

On the other hand, India's neighbours have on many occasions internationalised bilateral disputes. The principle that none should interfere in the internal affair of the others becomes difficult to define because the South- Asian region has many similarities in terms of culture, language and other factors. Events and activities in one country influence happenings in another. While one country may call it interferance, the other may not think so.
