Shashi Tharoor on why India must rethink its West Asia security strategy

In his latest column in The Hindu, Shashi Tharoor examines India’s approach to security in West Asia and asks whether New Delhi can continue its policy of strategic distance as the region’s security architecture changes. He argues that West Asia is crucial to India’s energy security, trade, remittances and economic interests, and says India should consider a more active role in the region. Tharoor also discusses emerging security partnerships, India’s defence capabilities and the need to protect its long-term strategic interests without entering rigid military alliances.
