KEY POINTS

The Indo-Pacific refers to the Indian and the Pacific Oceans between the east coast of Africa and the American west coast and their several littoral countries and denotes an economic and strategic community.

 Significance of Indo-Pacific to India

·        It was Australia began reimagining its security and trade policies through a new regional lens in 2011-2012, that Indo-Pacific became its way to position itself to play a larger role in Asia, as an ally of the US and Japan.

·        The conception is being driven by the increased economic interaction between South, Northeast and Southeast Asia and the importance of the lines of energy supply (oil trade) to Asia from the Middle East.

·        Preference and reliability given by USA to India rather than China, this increased the geo-political stature of India in the region. India was declared as a major strategic defence partner of USA.

·        India’s robust engagement with the Indian Ocean Rim Association countries.

Challenges

·        The adoption of the term challenges India to play a larger role in the region, for instance in the Quad, or the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue that informally brings together for strategic talks and military exercises, the US, Japan, Australia and India.

·        India’s isolation from China, while aligning with US poses challenge to the neutral stance of India.

·        This also impacts the positive projections of India’s soft power.
