Online published on 19 March, 2024. Abstract Geopolitical code is defined as the operating code of a government's foreign policy that evaluates places beyond its boundaries. It is a set of strategic assumptions that a government makes about other states in forming its foreign policy. Such operational codes focus on the evaluation of places beyond the state's boundaries in terms of its strategic importance and potential threats. It is not just nation-centric but it is also formulated on the basis of a nation's view of the world. The Geopolitical Codes of India have operated on three levels: Local, Regional, and Global. With the world becoming multi-polar, the Non-Aligned Code of the Nehruvian legacy became redundant. Consistent threats and pressures from the smaller and larger neighbours have necessarily compelled India to re-shape its Geopolitical Codes.
