Summary/Abstract |
The Indian Ocean is the bedrock of global economic maritime activity in the 21st century. With the resurgence of Asia, there has been a tectonic shift of global attention from the West to the East. The waters in the Indian Ocean are rich in oil and minerals, affecting it as an energy heartland both in the supply and demand, hence slowly turning the drivers of global economy towards Asia.

Summary/Abstract |
India–Southeast Asia defence cooperation has not been highlighted much, primarily to not give out wrong signals about India’s power projection outlook. With India steadfastly maintaining that it is a benign nation and not a revisionist power, engagement in the defence domain with Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has been attempted in five ways. The first includes India’s engagement in ASEAN defence mechanisms, such as ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting (ADMM) Plus; and the participation of ASEAN nations in the Milan series of biennial meetings and Indian Ocean Naval Symposium (IONS). The second dimension is India’s legitimate interest in the security of the Malacca Strait as a funnel state. The third dimension is developing synergies between the defence industries in Southeast Asia with the Indian defence industrial complex. The fourth angle of engagement is India’s position as the net security provider in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). The fifth critical aspect is developing maritime cooperative mechanism and developing a counter to the Chinese “string of pearls” strategy.

Summary/Abstract |
K.M. Panikkar’s understanding of India’s strategic vision for the Indian Ocean highlighted the strategic dots of Socotra and Indonesia, which were a part of a larger game plan of a “strategic arc”. His idea of Socotra and Indonesia was based on the linkage between the two strategic sea lanes of communication. In the present context, Panikkar’s strategic arc has been readopted in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s new vision, which aims to pave the way for India to engage in friendly ports so as to create a network of strategic ports for defence and civilian purposes. This article endeavours to understand Panikkar’s “strategic arc”, traced from the east coast of Africa to the island of Sumatra. Further, it analyses how Panikkar’s strategic arc has been realigned and reinvigorated in the present scenario from Oman to the islands of Indonesia, which helps in furthering India’s economic interests as well as protect its strategic well-being. The article concludes by offering a set of policy recommendations based on Panikkar’s strategic arc and how these could be inculcated within the larger framework on India’s security and maritime policy.
