Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #31527 Foreign Policy
Instructions
The  foreign  policy  of  a  state,  it  is  often  argued,  begins  and  ends  with  the  border.  No  doubt  an  exaggeration,  this  aphorism  nevertheless  has  an    of  truth.  A  state's  relationship  with  its  neighbours,  at  least  in  the    years,  are  greatly    by  its  frontier  policy,  especially  when  there  are  no    borders.  Empire  builders  in  the  past  sought  to  extend  imperial  frontiers  for  a  variety  of  reasons;  the  subjugation  of  kings  and  princes  to  gain  their    (as  well  as  handsome  tributes  or  the  coffers  of  the  state),  and,  the  security  of  the  'core'  of  the  empire  from  external  attacks  by  establishing  a  string  of  buffer  states  in  areas    the  frontiers.  The  history  of  the  British  Empire  in  India  was  no  different.  It  is  important  to  note  in  this  connection  that  the  concept  of  international  boundaries  (between  two  sovereign  states),  demarcated  and  delineated,  was  yet  to  emerge  in  India  under  the  Mughal  rule.
