What does indian foreign policy's "Gujral Doctrine" entail?
November 30 marked the 11th anniversary of the passing of inder kumar Gujral, the 12th prime minister of india and the progenitor of the Gujral Doctrine. The Gujral Principles, which bear his name, are an approach to foreign policy that Gujral alone had as prime minister. This idea had enormous benefits for India. Despite the fact that I.K. Gujral served as prime minister for just a single year. Therefore, let's examine the Gujral principle in this essay.
Inder Kumar Gujral: who was he?
On april 21, 1997, inder kumar Gujral took the oath of office as India's prime minister, a position he retained until march 29, 1998. In addition, Gujral served as Foreign minister twice under the administrations of VP Singh and the United Front. He was regarded as having an extremely courageous disposition. The greatest illustration of this occurred when Sanjay Gandhi, the minister of Information and Broadcasting in Indira Gandhi's cabinet, resigned to take up the role of unofficial press censor during the Emergency.
Aside from this, he is the same Gujral who, in 1996, prevented india from signing the CTBT while serving as Foreign Minister. india was able to successfully declare itself a nuclear power today as a result. However, the Gujral principle was introduced by I.K. Gujral.
