India is one of the major and major regional powers with an important strategic role in the Asian continent. It is also one of the countries qualified to be a rising power in the international arena. It does not stop at reserving a foothold for itself in the international arena, but rather it aspires to crystallize a new global organization in which power is distributed among multiple poles, one of which is itself, especially since the components of power that India enjoys are comprehensive and strategic components, and have different dimensions including the human, political, social, economic, technological and military dimensions. Therefore, we will try to identify in the context of the research the dimensions and elements of India's power, and the strategic foundations and pillars of Indian foreign policy. The research also sheds light on mutual interests, common issues and relations with its regional and global surroundings, in addition to shedding light on the challenges facing India in its journey of ascent.
