Who among the following was the governor general who followed a spirited “Forward” Policy towards Afghanistan?
[A]Lord Dufferin
[B]Lord Mayo
[C]Lord Elgin
[D]Lord Ellenborough (1842-44)
Lord Ellenborough
A Forward Policy is a set of foreign policy doctrines applicable to territorial ambitions and disputes, in which emphasis is placed on securing control of targeted territories by invasion and annexation, or by the political creation of compliant buffer states. Such foreign policies have been used by a number of countries including Austria, France, Britain, India, China etc to achieve their tactical aims over external countries. The term has been candidly employed as an unvarnished sobriquet for two military 'forward policies' in two periods of history relating to the Central Asian border disputes: The Great Game, and in events leading to the Sino-Indian War in 1962.
