The academic dominance of the United States in the field of international relations research has led to insufficient theoretical innovation and narrow perspectives. To break this situation, scholars advocate for the integration of non Western perspectives and the development of a "global international relations" centered around the West. Indian scholars respond to this trend and advocate the development of international relations theories with Indian characteristics, emphasizing the importance of localized research. Localization research aims to challenge the Western theoretical system and promote equality in global knowledge production. The study of localized international relations in India can be divided into three schools, reflecting the theoretical needs of India's rise. Although the Indian school has not yet formed, its research cannot be ignored.

1、 The Rise of Local International Relations Research in India

Explored the localization process of international relations research in India, emphasizing the relationship between knowledge production and social construction, as well as the global and diverse nature of international relations theory. Indian scholars recognize that with the rise of the country, it is necessary to construct its own theoretical framework to enhance its national status. Since the 1980s, India has been constructing its own international relations theory, based on traditional culture, and developing new theories and concepts. In 2005, Indian scholars called for attention to indigenous primitive and classical thought in order to address modern issues. Two years later, the autonomy of India's international relations research was emphasized again, advocating a return to cultural traditions and a re examination and interpretation of ancient history, philosophy, and culture.

2、 Three theoretical tendencies in the study of Indian domestic international relations

In the post Cold War era, the Indian international relations community is committed to developing international relations theories and knowledge that match the rise of nations. Indian scholars emphasize localization research, oppose blind imitation of the West, and advocate building a unique perspective and policy proposition that reflects India's national interests. The three theoretical tendencies in Indian international relations research include: non universal tendency, namely academic nationalism orientation, emphasizing conceptual and theoretical innovation to break free from the constraints of Western conceptual frameworks; Non colonial tendencies, opposing academic colonialism, advocating a return to tradition, and constructing a theoretical system with Indian national characteristics; Non moral inclination, with a prominent hawkish color, emphasizes political realism, and focuses on the practical handling of inter state relations. Indian scholars are attempting to regain dominance in the creation of international relations theory by reinterpreting traditional culture, in order to achieve academic innovation and knowledge independence.

3、 Theoretical Dimensions of India's Rise

Explored the theoretical dimension of international relations research in India from a localized perspective, emphasizing the isomorphism between knowledge and power, as well as the coupling phenomenon between national rise and knowledge rise. Indian scholars believe that with India's geopolitical rise, it is necessary to develop international relations theories that match its national status. In the post colonial era, the Indian academic community held a skeptical attitude towards Western theories, emphasizing self-sufficiency and independent thinking. In the 21st century, Indian scholars began to pay attention to the role and positioning of the state in the international order, advocating for the construction of an international relations theory with a global perspective. Indian scholars are calling for the development of localized international relations theories to reflect India's rise and dissatisfaction with Western hegemony. At the same time, Indian scholars also emphasized the use of traditional intellectual resources, such as the "Treatise on Politics," to construct a new era of India's grand strategy. These views have influenced Indian decision-makers, who believe that ancient literature can provide insights for modern international strategy.

4、 Conclusion

The localization of international relations research in India deserves recognition in terms of innovation and theoretical pursuit, but its limitations and political ambitions cannot be ignored. The research agenda of Indian scholars is closely related to the international landscape and national status, but international political theory should go beyond the times and guide the country's foreign policy. The dominant position of Western theory is difficult to shake, and the hawkish color in Indian studies may become an obstacle to the development of theory. The radical rhetoric of the Indian school may affect the practicality and credibility of its theories, bringing uncertainty to national strategy and theoretical construction.
