Vedic Diplomacy: Foundations in Hindu Thought and Its Relevance for Global Peace and Prosperity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798298629478)

This book investigates the concept of Vedic diplomacy, a distinctive framework of statecraft rooted in the ethical and philosophical traditions of Hindu civilization. Moving beyond the confines of a single nation, it explores the broader South Asian context, integrating insights from Vedic scriptures, Puranic literature, and Kautilya's Arthashastra. Through detailed textual analysis, historical case studies, and comparisons with modern international relations theories, the study reveals how Vedic diplomacy emphasizes dharma (moral duty), vasudhaiva kutumbakam (universal kinship), and a graduated strategy of conflict resolution encompassing conciliation, inducement, division, and force.
The book further examines the contemporary relevance of these principles for promoting ethical governance, intercultural understanding, and sustainable global peace. It critically assesses the prospects and challenges of reviving Vedic diplomacy in the modern world, proposing practical strategies for integration into diplomatic education, policy-making, and regional cooperation. Ultimately, this work argues that re-engaging with Vedic diplomatic traditions offers a transformative vision for a more just, peaceful, and prosperous international order.
