| Summary/Abstract |
India's national security, especially its defence preparedness against Pakistan and China, with whom it has disputed border, is passing through a disturbing phase. Pakistan continues with cross border terrorism into Jammu and Kashmir, while China infringes upon Indian land and air space from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh at will. Both have made a mockery of the military-held lines with India.
Speaking in Parliament during the recent budget session, defence minister Arun Jaitley expressed satisfaction regarding the two disputed borders. According to him, the Indian Army has minimised infiltration across the Line of Control and terrorism in the hinterland with a mix of good anti-infiltration deployment, monitoring and surveillance means, and the fence. Chinese intrusions, he said, are because of differing perception of the disputed border by the two countries.
Do we want better detection and elimination of terrorists in Kashmir, or do we want to compel Pakistan to stop infiltration? If India does not intrude into Chinese land, why should China do this to India regularly?
India seems to have accepted low defence thresholds against both neighbours. This is worrisome. If Pakistan and China are not deterred by India and its military power, especially boots on the ground, will India's two-front war strategy work to compel them? Why is India spending nearly USD 49 billion annually, which excludes defence pensions and nuclear weapons capability, on defence when it appears blunted? Is there a way out for India without going to war with either or both?
India needs a transformation of its national security and defence thinking. It must know that China rather than Pakistan is its irreconcilable adversary, and the disputed border with China is India's singular core concern which impedes India's rise. Once this is grasped, a new approach to policy-making and warfare would emerge. China could be balanced by a political-military methodology, while peace could be made with Pakistan. India's warfare practised so far would alter drastically. With China as the main adversary, India would no longer be preparing to fight the last war better. With more domains like space, cyber, ballistic and cruise missiles, irregular warriors (terrorists) and nuclear weapons added to the conventional combat on land, air and sea, India will need different higher defence organisation and higher strategic organisation from those proposed so far. All this can be done without raising either annual defence allocations or ringing alarm bells in the region.

| Summary/Abstract |
China's recent statement has sparked tension in the region: "We should not leave the world with the impression that China is only focused on economic development, nor should we pursue the reputation of being a peaceful power." Now, the question stands whether India's growing involvement with Vietnam or her moves in the SCS will act as a counter-move to China's activities and support in Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Pakistan?

| Summary/Abstract |
A small country in the Himalayan kingdom, Nepal carries vital importance for India as far as its security is concerned, as India's biggest rival, China, is just north of Nepal. Hence Nepal is sandwich between the two Asian giants, India and China and that is its worry and at the same time its advantage too as it exploits this very facts and bargain well with both these countries very efficiently. Nepal is a land locked country and it has to depend on India for its transit routes which give India an upper hand in tackling the problems arising out of Nepal's attitude.

| Summary/Abstract |
India and China have made a significant stride in their bilateral relations which is exemplified in their 60 years of the 'Panchsheel Agreement of 1954'. Though India's relations with China has often been weighed down by the protracted boundary problem but the growing economic engagement has given a new high to the relationship. The growing economic interests between the two rapidly growing Asian giants significantly suggest that commerce can even flourish in the presence of very hostile relations. This unique characteristic of India's relations with China based on their convergent economic interests and divergent political interests posit a unique case study of both cooperation and conflict running parallel to each other.

Moreover,elements in Pakistan and Bangladesh too have been aiding North-EastIndian insurgents from time to time.

| Summary/Abstract |
India-China maritime dynamics are witnessing new developments and balance of power politics. Beijing's economic and maritime posture continues to emerge as a challenge for India. In fact, underlying China's Maritime Silk Road strategy is an orderly diplomatic, economic, and maritime quest for power that India must take note of. A core aim behind this strategy is to re-brand China as an economic, political and maritime power in IOR as well as in the neighbouring region. In official parlance, this enterprise is intended to integrate Beijing's existing levels of cooperation in the region, and to look beyond. As Hua Chunying, spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, stated on 13 February 2014, "This is an initiative and idea of cooperation, which will help integrate all the on-going cooperation programmes, especially those in connectivity with the concept and spirit of the ancient Silk Road.". India and other countries need to take note and respond to this discourse.
