INDIA’S HOLISTIC-SECURITY IS A FUNCTION of two main features. The first comprises the policies, strategies, organisational-structures and the delivery mechanisms that guide and shape her internal politics and determine her internal stability as a coherent geopolitical entity. The second feature consists of elements that define and shape India’s interaction and interface with external structures — supranational and international organisations, nation-states, and, non-State entities, any of which may, at given points in time, be either supportive or inimical to India’s own geopolitical endeavours.
