| Summary/Abstract |
India and China share a complex bilateral relationship, consisting of military confrontations, diplomatic dialogues, and intense economic activities, concurrent with multilateral engagements. Their growth prospects and future visions set them on a path of intense competition. Also, China’s consistent growth to become a major player in the global arena poses many strategic challenges to India’s growth story.
The foremost challenge is that China poses a direct military threat to India, due to its rapidly modernising military forces, as well as the
bloody history of India-China territorial disputes. Second, China’s burgeoning economic muscle affords it the luxury of shaping world
opinion in its favour and to India’s detriment. This factor is compounded by China’s influence on international bodies like the UN and financial institutions like the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), which may impinge on India’s national interests. Coupled with this is the consistently expanding Chinese influence in South Asia, directly challenging India’s dominant position in the region.
This commentary examines the challenges that India faces from China and further evaluates possible strategic options for India.

| Summary/Abstract |
The physical map of the Indian subcontinent depicts an integrated landmass, bounded by the Pamirs/ Hindukush to the North West and the Himalayas to the North, with the Patkai Range, Naga, and Chin Hills forming a natural border between India’s North-Eastern states and Myanmar. The ends of the Indian Peninsula are bounded by the seas in three directions. This article attempts to review important aspects of the continuously evolving India-Bangladesh relationship—as Bangladesh, today with the second largest GDP in South Asia, journeys through its fifty-first year as an independent nation.

| Summary/Abstract |
Is Indo-Pacific the one overarching forum, evolving from a geopolitical imagination that can bring the two countries closer? If it
be so, then what are the avenues and possibilities that exist in the Indo-Pacific sphere for India and Vietnam, and what are the benefits and drawbacks of subscription to such a concept? Will it be feasible enough to sustain the aspirations as well as concerns of the two countries or there is a need for returning back to basics, and entrusting ASEAN with the centrality which is required for peace and security in the larger Asia-Pacific region. Is China a necessary evil or is it being demonised by the western media? What could be the contours of the evolving geopolitical order when alternatives such as BRICS, SCO, and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank have been getting attention and subscription from countries across Europe, Africa, and Asia? Has regionalism lost sheen and bilateralism is the only way to deal with larger security and political issues. This paper would address these issues and look for possibilities with regard to India and Vietnam cooperating in the geo-political, and geo-strategic construct which is now known as Indo-Pacific.

| Summary/Abstract |
Peace and tranquillity in the Himalayas are essential for India’s security and cordial relations with China. This has been a long-standing
understanding of the Indian government and was also stressed and reiterated by the Indian officials during Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s visit to India in March 2022. Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar said that relations between the two countries cannot be normal unless there is total disengagement of forces by China. He reminded China to respect treaties and agreements signed between the two countries on border-related issues.1 A peaceful and stable border is relevant for not only the Indian Himalayas but also for the Himalayan countries having common borders and border-related issues with China.

| Summary/Abstract |
The basic approach of this article is to discuss an outline optimum strategy or broad game-plan to tackle collusive Sino-Pak threats. The detailed strategy and specific action plan are beyond the scope of this article. However, deliberations and inferences drawn in this article can help refine/validate template for such formulation. It will be appropriate to reiterate that clarity on threat parameters is an essential pre-requisite for planning levels of preparedness, force structures, equipment profile, modernisation and budgetary allocations, hence these are discussed in brief. Reasonable assumptions have been factored in, where necessary, as detailed national security policies are yet to be promulgated.

| Summary/Abstract |
The purpose of the paper is to examine the problematics that the neighbourhood states face, their fault lines, and how they affect the
peace and stability in South Asia in general and towards India in particular. The analysis of the same would lead us to define India’s
strategic outlook and decision-making. It would hence be necessary to cast India’s Strategic outlook in relation to the conceptualisation of the term National Interest, the emerging global order and the fault lines in the new Global Order, and a brief understanding of the phenomenon of nuclear proliferation, collapse of Communism and keeping in mind Huntington’s postulation of the clash of civilisation and its aftereffects as we see in the 21st century.

| Summary/Abstract |
India and Israel relations, even though just three decades old, have subsequently progressed over the years, especially in the fields of
defence and agri-tech. After lying dormant since the time India formally recognised the Jewish nation in September 1950; the international, regional and domestic geostrategic environment compelled New Delhi to establish diplomatic relations and to normalise its relations with Tel Aviv in January 1992. The normalisation not only earmarked the beginning of a full-fledged engagement between the two countries but also provided impetus to India’s defence requirements.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Indian Space domain capability can be expanded in the South Asian Neighbourhood for offering solutions in the ISR, Communication, Meteorology, Navigation, Guest Astronauts for the Human space flight programme, and space infrastructure building. India’s South Asian communication satellite launched in 2017 was one such initiative leveraging the space capability for diplomatic outreach and developing the new space services market for Indian enterprises.
The Indian Military has a strategic and friendly relationship with the neighbouring militaries and now the time has come to upgrade the existing security cooperation through Military Diplomacy and believe in the dictum of India’s ‘Neighbourhood First Policy’. India’s growth is tethered to a secure and well-governed South Asia and the emerging space market is one of the sunshine sectors which like India’s outreach to evolve the digital payments ecosystem can also be employed to improve the cooperation in South Asia.

| Summary/Abstract |
India and Myanmar have deep historical, cultural, ethnic, and commercial links. Common geopolitical, economic, and security interests
exist that are spread across vast land and maritime frontiers. Apart from this, there is a sizeable Indian diaspora residing in Myanmar
for generations. India’s land border with Myanmar of over 1600 km, involving Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, and Mizoram
adjoin Kachin, Sagaing, and Chin states across. Myanmar also serves as the land bridge to South East Asia and coupled with the maritime connection in the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea, makes it a very important neighbor in the region’s security calculus.
