| Summary/Abstract |
The participation of the Indian navy in anti-piracy operations off the Somali coast is perceived by many as a manifestation of India's apparent willingness to take on a larger role on the global stage. This article explores the possibility for India to play a more important role in solving the Somali piracy crisis. While recognising the limits and short-term impact of the military response, the author argues for the continuation of intervention by foreign navies in the region, the necessity for international consensus on how to deal with the pirates and the implementation of a land-based military response aimed at destroying the pirates' networks. The latter would have for their main objective not to eliminate the threat posed by Somali pirates but to lower its impact. Nevertheless, the author warns against the potential consequences of using military raids and air strikes to counter piracy. In that context, and as a major proponent of the principles of non-intervention and respect of state sovereignty, the greatest challenge India will have to face will be a political one.

| Summary/Abstract |
Piracy in the Gulf of Aden, which first emerged as a serious threat in 2005, has since grown manifold, virtually doubling with each passing year between 2006 and 2009. In 2010, though, there was a slight dip in the number of attacks by the Somali pirates the range of piracy attacks has increased significantly. The response of the global community has been remarkably swift. The UN resolution 1816 of 2008 which first authorised nations to deploy warships for counter-piracy operations in Somali territorial waters has since been followed by several international initiatives. Currently over two dozen warships are deployed in the region on anti piracy patrols. Yet, attacks by Somali pirates continue unabated. This paper seeks to highlight the key challenges faced by naval patrols in the Gulf of Aden and brings out the various options that exist for the global shipping industry.
