Abstract
In the 1850s, upon receiving the first telegraph messages, the flummoxed British Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary, Lord Palmerston, famously exclaimed, "My God, this is the end of diplomacy!" His reaction reflected the skepticism and surprise that often accompany shifts in public diplomacy. As technology continues to evolve, it increasingly overshadows traditional forms of diplomacy, which are now often viewed as relics of the past. This essay explores the domain of digital diplomacy, which is rapidly becoming the preferred and natural medium for engaging with foreign countries, whether friendly or otherwise. The brief essay examines the significance of digital Diplomacy for India, followed by an assessment of the Indian government's digital initiatives in the international arena.
