Abstract For India, despite highly diversified partner countries and a large number of free trade agreements, the effectiveness of which is generally low in terms of the tariff reduction rate of trade in goods, sectors and areas of trade in services, and the scope of the “Singapore issues”. The aforementioned reality contrasts sharply with India's national identity that calls for ambitions in freetrade strategy. The “great power complex”, economic development level and industrial structure, special interest groups, and the “disadvantageous position” and “negative image” in the formulation of global trade rules are the main reasons for such a paradox. Furthermore, the case of India has provided policy implications for other countries to formulate veritable national identities in freetrade strategy.
