A public perception on immediate and long-term corrective measures for India's economic and developmental failures due to war between Iran and Israel, Russia and Ukraine

International conflicts significantly influence global economic stability, particularly in developing economies that depend on international trade, energy imports, and global supply chains. The Russia–Ukraine and Iran–Israel conflicts have created economic uncertainties, resulting in rising fuel prices, inflationary pressures, supply chain disruptions, and developmental challenges. This study examines public perception regarding immediate and long-term corrective measures required to mitigate the adverse economic and developmental impacts of these conflicts on India. Primary data were collected from 350 respondents through a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and Chi-Square analysis were employed to evaluate respondents' opinions on various remedial measures. The findings indicate strong public support for government economic relief, strategic petroleum reserve utilization, fuel tax reduction, subsidies for fertilizers and LPG, energy independence, defense self-reliance, and strengthening India as a global manufacturing hub. The Chi-Square results reveal statistically significant support for all proposed corrective measures. The study concludes that a combination of short-term economic interventions and long-term strategic planning is essential to strengthen India's resilience against future geopolitical disruptions.
