| Summary/Abstract |
Security discourse has radically changed over the years, especially since the Post–Cold War period. The traditional concept focuses on state security and national security, and is essentially based on realist and neo-realist paradigms. However, in 1994, the United Nations Human Development Report for the first time elaborated the notion of human security and the associated Human Development Index (HDI). Human security advocates a people-centric approach to security. The two foundational principles on which human security is based are “freedom from fear” and “freedom from want.” I evaluate the notions of state security versus human security and examine how South Asian countries have fared regarding the human security indices. I conclude that, despite advances in some areas, various HDI parameters show that the human security record is still rather dismal in South Asia. There remains a critical need to improve it.

| Summary/Abstract |
The millennium development goals (MDGs) are a by-product of the United Nations Millennium Summit to institute certain time-bound goals by 2015. Eight goals were set forth and six core values identified as being essential to understanding international relations in the twenty-first century. As the countdown to 2015 is about to end, this paper looks at the extent to which the goals have been achieved in India regarding the issues of poverty, hunger and development. It also delineates whether they have led to the establishment of a more equitable, humane and just order. It is hoped that the MDGs do not remain mere wishes but are realized so that various forms of deprivation, marginalization and socioeconomic inequalities and inequities may be addressed, leading to the formation of a socially inclusive society in India. The article uses quantitative data and indices drawn from various UNDP reports.

| Summary/Abstract |
India's relationship with its neighbours in south Asia has been always influenced by domestic politics. Moreover, there has been a continuous fear psychosis amongst the smaller states of the area, which consider India a regional hegemon. India however needs to adopt the stance of an elder brother rather than a hegemon.
