ABSTRACT
B y far the most significant change affecting India, which has taken place in foreign policy since the World War, has been the new, peaceful situation in Central Asia owing to Russia’s fear of attack by Japan and Germany, and her concentration on her own internal development. This new alignment of the Great Powers has removed for the time being the old “ Russian Menace,” and there is no longer any immediate need to hold an army in readiness to resist an invasion from the North.
