Besides as a member of hundreds of international organizations, India has to participate in their periodic deliberations. The VIP visits and those numerous other groups have become common occurrences of the day.

Our countrymen have grown critical of our government s international activities than of its doings on the home front. The vigilant press kept watchful eye on every initiative that govt. took or the way it reacted to different issues that arose from time to time. All this underlines the very fact that in view of India s growing importance in world politics, its increasing activities in the international sphere need to be viewed and chronicled periodically.
