    H-Asia Ganguly on Das Gupta, 'The Indian Civil Service and Indian Foreign Policy, 1923–1961' Review published on Saturday, June 19, 2021 Amit Das Gupta. The Indian Civil Service and Indian Foreign Policy, 1923–1961. Abingdon, Oxon: Routledge, 2021. xvi + 314 pp. $160.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-138-06424-9. Reviewed by Sumit Ganguly (Indiana University) Published on H-Asia (June, 2021) Commissioned by Sumit Guha (The University of Texas at Austin) Printable Version: https://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=56532 There has long been a voluminous literature on India’s postindependence foreign policy. However, at least three recent developments have significantly leavened the scholarship on the subject. First, within the past decade, the Government of India has declassified significant numbers of documents pertaining to foreign policy decision-making and have placed them in the National Archives in New Delhi. Second, as a consequence, a number of able, young, and enterprising scholars have made deft use of these newly accessible documents. Their work has led to some reinterpretation of key events and turning points and have also provided more granular accounts of foreign policy decision-making at critical junctures. Finally, there has also been an effort on the part of a number of younger scholars to go beyond descriptive accounts of Indian decision-making. To that end, they have applied theoretical concepts and frameworks to the study of Indian foreign policy. These forays have started an incipient process of bringing the study of Indian foreign policy into the mainstream of foreign policy analysis. Owing to these three advances, the study of Indian foreign policy is undergoing a significant renewal.
