Summary/Abstract: Globalisation intensifies the already existing international society and brings together people from all cultures. In spite of sharing the lingua franca of Anglosphere (English language, internet, several international cultural references) politicians, diplomats, businessmen or common people have trouble in finding the true nature of the others. Especially for decision makers, it is compulsory to display sensitivity towards diverse contexts. Western mind does not feel at ease grasping Indian diplomatic and strategic culture, in spite of South Asia’s European legacy. Here it is proposed a three-layered model with afferent priorities: searching for prestige and recognition; search for power both in military and economic terms, and attention towards welfare. US-Indo Civil Nuclear Deal from 2008 is given here as a test case and platform for future theoretical extrapolations.
