The end of the Cold War era brought forth a major geopolitical and geostrategic shift in the Indian Ocean region. One of the dynamic changes is considered as the emergence of India's maritime prowess in the region. This paper argues that the enunciation of India's maritime doctrines in 2004 and thereafter and formal exposition of India's maritime military strategy document published in 2007 provide a roadmap for India's aspiration for becoming a sea-power by drawing broad roles for its navy. Whereas, the Strategy document aims to show the way to employ forces and build capabilities in pursuit of national political aims and military objectives. The paper examines the underlying tenets of India's maritime doctrines and strategy in the light of emerging trends in India's maritime domain. |
