1SECURITY ENVIRONMENT

India’s strategic location and its growing global interactionsrequire engagement on a range of issues that impact on nationalsecurity with a view to securing vital national es a complex matrix of regionaland global issues and challenges. India’sstrategic location and its growing globalinteractions require engagement on a rangeof issues that impact on national security witha view to securing vital national interests.The need to enhance preparedness to addressconsequences of instability and volatilityin parts of the immediate and extendedneighbourhood remains a key priority. At thesame time, there are renewed and successfulefforts to build stronger defence partnershipswith a wide range of friendly foreign countriesto enhance international peace and stability.1.3The Indian Ocean Region (IOR) iscentral to India’s growth and security. Byvirtue of its geo-physical configurationas well as its strategic and economicimperatives, India looks to the seas andOceans surrounding it. India’s peninsularprojection into the Indian Ocean Region,astride the vital sea-lanes of the worldstretching from the Suez Canal and thePersian Gulf to the Malacca Straits, also linksIndia’s ability to engage freely in maritimetrade and commerce.1.4India is also impacted by developmentsbeyond its immediate neighbourhood and theIndian Ocean region. Developments in WestAsia, Central Asia and the Asia Pacific have adirect bearing on India’s interests. In all theseregions, we are witnessing major political andeconomic shifts with strategic implications.While many of these transitions are markedby growing volatility and violence, at thesame time, inter-linkages of globalisationand deepening economic interdependenceare also increasingly evident. Consequentre-calibrations and dynamics in the globalbalance of power, that are also driven bythe rise of emerging economies and multipolarity, have created further uncertaintiesin the strategic outlook. These factors areincreasingly being manifested in competitionand contestation between states.1.2The security situation in India’simmediate South Asian neighbourhoodpresents a mixed picture. While therewas an improvement in the security andpolitical situation in some countries, politicaldevelopments caused a worsening of theinternal security situation in others. Terrorism,insurgency and sectarian conflict increasinglythreaten the stability of the region. Amidstongoing efforts to impart fresh dynamism tostrengthening relations with neighbours in acomprehensive manner, cooperative securityapproaches are of immediate relevanceto the region. India is committed to buildsecurity co-operation with all partners inthe neighbourhood on the basis of equality,mutual benefit and mutual respect.2

1.5The continuing economic slowdownin the West, Japan and China, combinedwith the rapid and sustained fall in energyprices directly affecting major oil producingcountries such as Russia, have depressed theglobal economic outlook. The economiesof other regions are also being adverselyaffected, as manifested through currencyfluctuations, decline in exports and lowerdirect investment flows.terrorist groups, the Af-Pak region in India’sneighbourhood continues to be the epicentreof international terrorism. There is continuingconcern over terrorist threats emanating fromIndia’s neighbourhood and the transnationallinkages through which such groups are beingsustained.1.8Peace and stability in various regionsof the world are marred by the proliferationof weapons of mass destruction. In particular,the threat of nuclear terrorism continues tobe a major international security concern,notwithstanding international efforts tostrengthen nuclear security and to preventnon-State actors from acquiring nuclearmaterials.1.6Though the possibility of a fullscale conventional war between states hascomparatively receded as compared to the20th Century, the rise of new threats anddrivers of conflict, including proxy warsas part of continuing efforts by some statesto destabilise other states, have created aregional and global security landscape that insome ways is even more challenging. Risingnationalism, increasing military spending,spiralling migration and refugee flows due toman-made and natural crises, easy availabilityof weapons and intense competition fornatural resources provide added volatility toexisting fault lines.1.9Shifts in the global balance of poweras reflected in recent developments in theAsia-Pacific region, have introduced newdimensions in military and diplomaticinteractions among the major powers andregional states. This has been manifestedin renewed maritime disputes, changes inmilitary posture and great power rivalry, allof which have added to complexities of thesecurity situation in the region. In particular,the on-going contestations over islandterritories in the Asia Pacific have fuelledregional tensions that could seriously strainthe cooperative structures that have enableda rapid growth of the Asia Pacific region as anengine of global growth. With North Koreaconducting further nuclear and missile tests,the situation on the Korean peninsula alsoremains fraught.1.7Terrorism and the activities ofterrorist organizations are perhaps the mostserious threat to peace and security. Theuse of terrorism as an instrument of policyby a few states has exacerbated intra andinter-State conflicts. Terrorist groups haveleveraged new technologies, particularly incyberspace, for trans-national mobilizationand ideological radicalization, especiallyof the youth. They also continue to gainlogistical and financial support for theiractivities from disparate sources, includingsome states, and are increasingly able tothreaten regions well beyond their base areas.Notwithstanding the rise of more malevolent1.10 India has major strategic interests aswell as economic and commercial stakesin continued peace and stability in theAsia Pacific region. India’s view is that allcountries must exercise restraint and resolve3

bilateral issues diplomatically and withoutrecourse to the use or threat of use of force.India supports freedom of navigation ininternational waters and the right of passage,in accordance with international law. Indiabelieves that the current regional securitylandscape calls for a cooperative and inclusiveapproach. On its part, under the ‘Act East’policy which places renewed emphasis onengagement with the Asia Pacific, India hasbeen an active participant in various bilateralas well as multilateral fora with a focus onsecurity matters such as the East Asia Summit,ADMM – Plus and ASEAN Regional Forum(ARF). There is also a need to further improveregional responses to challenges such astransnational crime, terrorism, naturaldisasters, pandemics, cyber security as wellas food and energy security.in the economic and security calculus ofthe region. India has welcomed the nuclearagreement between the E3 3 and Iran.1.12 nviolence and instability in the wake of thepolitical transitions ushered in by the ArabSpring which promised to bring aboutfundamental political and socioeconomictransformations in many countries in theregion. However, this has been accompaniedby the mushrooming of a number of violentnon-state actors, especially terrorist groups.Major sectarian fault-lines have also beenthrown open, thereby fracturing the internalcohesion of several countries. India has vitalstakes in the region, in terms of diaspora,trade, energy, remittances, and security.Continuing violence and instability in WestAsia and the Gulf, which is part of India’sextended neighbourhood, could impactIndia’s diverse interests in the region. Thesituation in Syria has deteriorated into rivalryand competition between great powers andmajor regional actors. The scenario in Iraqremains of growing concern, especiallythe rise of non-state actors that threatennot just regional stability but have shownthe capacity to radicalize individuals intocarrying out terrorist attacks in other parts ofthe world. The fusing together of the Syrianconflict and the crisis in Iraq could pose amajor challenge, with heightened extremistand sectarian overtones. India has expresseddeep concern at the violence and loss ofhuman lives in Syria and has consistentlycalled for an inclusive and comprehensivepolitical solution that takes into account thelegitimate aspirations of the Syrian people.India has also expressed firm support to Iraqin its fight against international terrorism1.11 Central Asia continues to be of strategicinterest, both due to its location and resourcesas well as in view of recent developments inEurasia and West Asia. India has focussed ondeveloping its political, economic and securitypartnerships with all Central Asian Republics.There are indications that the region is beingtargeted by radical terrorist groups that seekto undermine the secular regimes in thesecountries. India is also keen to expand itsenergy basket by deeper engagement inthis sector with Central Asian countriesthat are major energy producers. There isalso a mutuality of economic interest inrespective markets as a destination of exportsand investment, especially given efforts atconsolidating the Eurasian economic space.The changes in Iran open up new avenues forestablishing regional connectivity betweenCentral Asia and India that would enableaccess to a wide range of natural resources inthe region. Iran occupies a significant place4

and in its efforts to preserve its unity andterritorial integrity. Tensions between Israeland Palestine are also a matter of concern.India supports a negotiated solution resultingin a sovereign, independent, viable andunited State of Palestine, living within secureand recognized borders, side by side atpeace with Israel as endorsed in the QuartetRoadmap and relevant UNSC Resolutions.has been making systematic and unrelentingefforts to counter these threats and, as aresult, the internal security situation in thecountry is firmly under control. There is steepdecline in terror attacks in the hinterland andthe violence perpetrated by LWE. However,developments in Jammu & Kashmir andPunjab have been a cause of concern,especially the cross-border terror attacks andtrafficking of arms & narcotics.1.13 Several parts of Africa continue tobe in turmoil, as violent insurgencies andterrorist actions have progressively madetheir presence felt in North, East and WestAfrican countries. Of particular concern is thegrowing influence of terrorist organizations.While, the threat from piracy in the WesternIndian Ocean has diminished, the problemhas resurfaced in the Gulf of Guinea inwhich a number of Indian seafarers havebeen affected. The activities of terroristoutfits in West Africa pose a growing threatto the stability of states in the region. Thelinkages between local groups and terroristorganisations outside the region are a matterof concern. India has historic ties with severalAfrican nations and has sought to deepen itsbilateral ties with African countries throughthe strategic initiative of the India-AfricaForum Summit (IAFS) mechanism that seeksto promote regional and continent-levelpolitical and economic cooperation withAfrican countries.1.15 The overall security situation in J&Kremains stable in spite of the focused effortsof separatists and terrorist tanzeems to disruptthe prevailing peace. This was primarily dueto the protracted operations of the SecurityForces in the hinterland and effectivenessof the counter infiltration grid on the Lineof Control/International Border. Howeverradicalization and fresh recruitment in SouthKashmir is a cause of concern. Externalfactors, including the changing situation inPakistan and Afghanistan, may also impactthe internal situation in Jammu & Kashmir.1.16 The security situation in the NorthEastern States has been gradually improvingin terms of reduction in number of violentincidents and lower civilian casualties. Thenumber of violent incidents has come downfrom 1025 in 2012 to 574 in 2015 and thenumber of civilians killed has come downfrom 97 to 46 in the same period. The statesof Tripura, Mizoram and Sikkim are by andlarge, peaceful. In Arunachal Pradesh, barringa few incidents, there is general atmosphereof peace. In Manipur and Nagaland there wasincrease in violence against Security Forcesby the extremist groups in 2015 in the wake ofunilateral abrogation of ceasefire by NSCN/K.In Meghalaya, security forces were able tocontain the violent activities of the militantInternal Security Situation1.14 The challenges to internal securityin India can be categorized into four broadthreats viz. cross border terrorism in Jammu& Kashmir, militancy in the North East, LeftWing Extremism (LWE) in certain states andterrorism in the hinterland.

groups. The signing of the Framework forPeace between the Government of India andthe National Socialist Council for Nagalim(Issac-Muviah) [NSCN (I-M] in August 2015was a positive step towards ending thecountry’s oldest insurgency. The extraditionof Anup Chetia, a prominent UnitedLiberation of Front of Asom (ULFA) leader,by Bangladesh to India in November 2015was an encouraging development that mayhelp in the success of peace talks betweenthe Government of India and ULFA (protalk) leaders. Successful counter insurgencyoperations against the National DemocraticFront of Bodoland – Songjibit [NDFB (S)] andthe Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) bythe security forces have dealt a severe blowto the fighting capabilities of these insurgentgroups. Talks are continuing with NDFB (P)and (RD) factions to resolve Bodo issues.1.17 Left Wing Extremism (LWE) continuesto be an area of concern to the internalsecurity of the country. However, LWEviolence has been declining over the yearsdue to various efforts of the Governmentsuch as greater presence of security forcesacross the LWE affected States, loss of cadres/leaders on account of arrests, surrender anddesertions, better monitoring of developmentschemes and insurgency fatigue amongMaoist cadres.****6
