Abstract: Analysis of India’s maritime security policy during cold war and post-cold war period reveals that it underwent significant shifts. In the cold war period India’s foreign policy reflects the continental mindset and not much heed was paid towards the maritime domain which during ancient period was the main factor for India’s rise as a renowned civilisation across the world. The demise of USSR in the 1990’s and the emergence of new international order insists India to give up its continental mindset and draw its focus towards the maritime domains. This paper seeks to examine the objectives, strategies and issues confronted by India’s maritime security policy during the cold war and post-cold war period. It further seeks to examine what prompts a proactive maritime policy in the last decades and what policy stances India should undertake to achieve its endeavours in the region.
