Security dilemmas, according to John H. Herz, are when one state efforts to improve its security endanger the security of others and have a reciprocal effect. The likelihood of the effect is larger when the prior states intentions are unclear or have negative effects on the first. Such security complexities have developed in the Indo-Pacific area, where China has combined its expansionist ideas and modernised its navy to handle its security difficulties, but in doing so has also prompted other players in the region to assess their own security concerns. India now perceives a two-front war as a result of the arrival of Chinese naval forces in the Indian Ocean region and security concerns coming from both Pakistan and Afghanistan. Several states, including India, have been forced to take action in a region where Chinese regional movements and convictions dominate regional security complexes. This article examines India’s security posture in light of China’s growing participation, threats from Pakistan, and an unstable Afghanistan, and examines the extent to which bilateral and multilateral agreements aid India in resolving its security issues in the region. This article also aims to provide a solution to the question of what function India might serve in the region in order to encourage the dynamics of regional security.
