Abstract

Since gaining independence in 1947, India's population, expansive land size, robust economic position, and historical and cultural ties have enabled it to dominate South Asian neighbours with comparatively less developed economies and weaker military strength. Since Narendra Modi assumed office as the Prime Minister of India in 2014, the “Neighbourhood First” policy was coined to enhance India's influence in South Asia, creating a favourable environment for its ascent as a global power. However, China's increasing military presence and influence in South Asia through financial and military support to neighbouring countries have disrupted the region's security architecture. This article uses qualitative methodologies to examine India's security threats from China's military and economic support to South Asian countries. The paper finds that South Asia holds a crucial and prioritised position in the foreign policies of both India and China. The strategic competition between India and China in the South Asian region has had and continues to impact the countries in the area significantly. With financial and military support, China is gradually shaping its influence in South Asia, posing a security threat that could isolate India in the Indian Ocean region. It concludes that China's attempts to contain India in the region led India to enhance military cooperation and strengthen its defence partnership with significant countries in the Indo-Pacific region to limit the threats from China.

Abstract

India’s emergence as a net security provider in South Asia is a significant development, driven by its strategic interests and the region's shifting geopolitical landscape. This paper explores the challenges, opportunities, and broader geopolitical dynamics that shape India’s security policies and initiatives in South Asia. Through qualitative research and the lens of structural realism, the study assesses India's efforts to maintain regional stability, counter terrorism, and address security threats in its immediate neighborhood, including Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and the Maldives. The analysis delves into the complexities posed by India’s traditional rivalries with Pakistan and China, highlighting how these relationships influence regional security management. Despite its growing military power in the Indian Ocean, India’s aspirations for regional leadership face hurdles. The study identifies key challenges, such as slow progress in developing deeper security ties with other Indian Ocean countries and the increasing expectation from regional actors for India to lead collaboratively. While India has the potential to assert itself as a major security provider, its reluctance to engage more proactively with key players in the region may hinder its influence. The study concludes by arguing that India must prioritize building stronger, cooperative security partnerships to solidify its leadership role in South Asia. By doing so, India can enhance regional stability and extend its strategic reach, ensuring a balance between its national security interests and its regional responsibilities.
