India articulates a new maritime vision

In March this year, during a visit to Mauritius, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced India’s new maritime vision — “MAHASAGAR,” which means “ocean” in Sanskrit. He said that this acronym stood for “Mutual and Holistic Advancement for Security and Growth Across Regions,” though the geography it embraced was not clarified. Ten years earlier, Modi had first expounded his maritime vision, “SAGAR” (“sea,” standing for “Security and Growth for all in the Region”), in the same island nation.
