    For much of the Cold War, most of the major powers could safely neglect India. India had friends in the developing world, but relations with most of the industrialized world were often strained.

By the early 2000s, India was increasingly acknowledged as an "emerging" or "rising" power of consequence in regional and world politics. 3
