Is India's Relationship With The World À La Carte Now?

The world is changing in how countries work together.

Instead of sticking to one big group, like during the Cold War, countries now pick and choose their partners based on different issues.

This is called an 'à la carte' world.

For example, a country might work with the US on one issue, China on another, and Russia or Europe on something else.

This is happening because the world is more complicated, with many powerful countries and different problems to solve.

The US and China are still the biggest players, but other countries like India, Brazil, and those in the BRICS group are becoming more important.

The old rules and groups, like the ones set up after World War II, are not working as well anymore.

Some people think this new way of doing things could lead to more conflict, but it also gives countries more freedom to make their own choices.
