Abstract

Following the surprise general election defeat of the National Democratic Alliance at the hands of a Congress-led coalition, the new Indian government, headed by Manmohan Singh as prime minister, decided to postpone the first set of talks on nuclear confidence building measures with Islamabad, which had been scheduled for 25–26 May. This was largely – and understandably – a result of the extended and confused political transition. That said, the arrival of the new government is expected to result in changes – in style, and, to some extent in substance – to Indian foreign and security policy.
