The Indian Ocean lies at the core of India’s maritime strategy. Despite the fact that post independence it did not receive the attention it deserved due to several structural and policy inadequacies, India is pursuing a twin strategy of bolstering maritime defense capacity and harnessing maritime resources. The former is aimed to equip India with the capability to undertake maritime operation in the Indian Ocean, while the latter is to devise a cooperative strategy to harness maritime resources and deal with common challenges that confront the South Asian littoral states. This article examines the evolution of India’s approach to the Indian Ocean in the context of China’s growing presence in the region. It analyzes India’s policies toward South Asian maritime neighbors, their responses to India’s strategies and examines what the future holds for India in the emerging geopolitical context
