Associate Fellow Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Titli Basu’s article ‘India’s Indo-Pacific Reckoning’ has been published in Indo-Pacific Perspectives (Journal of Indo-Pacific Affairs) on December 7, 2020.

India believes that a multipolar world should be anchored by a multipolar Asia at its core. While the Indo-Pacific is dominating the political lexicon and strategic thinking in Delhi, the biggest challenge will be matching political intent with material and national capacity.
