Routledge India's Maritime Strategy - Politics in Asia Book

Gain a unique perspective on Sino-India relations through the lens of a former Indian naval intelligence officer. This book, published by Routledge, offers a deep look into the growth of the Indian Navy from its post-independence beginnings to its modern transformation in the 21st century. As China expands its maritime power within the Indian Ocean, this text examines the scope of India's maritime reach. It provides a nuanced analysis of how these regional ambitions affect competition between India and China. Instead of suggesting that India can maintain balance simply by creating a favorable environment, the author examines the actual complexities of maritime strategy in Asia. This volume is an essential resource for readers interested in military history, naval forces, and the shifting political landscape of the Indian Ocean. It moves beyond surface-level observations to provide a detailed account of how naval strength shapes regional security and international competition.
