  • India's Lakshadweep Islands to Grow in Strategic Importance
    12 30 August 2018 India’s Lakshadweep Islands to Grow in Strategic Importance Balaji Chandramohan FDI Visiting Fellow Key Points The islands of the Lakshadweep archipelago will receive increased strategic attention as India expands its maritime horizons, in both the western and eastern theatres of the Indian Ocean. The islands offer the same advantages for India’s naval diplomacy as do the Andaman Islands, to the east. Along with the new naval base at Karwar on India’s west coast, they will be used to project India’s command of the sea in the western Indian Ocean. The island group will receive increased attention because of its proximity to the energy-rich western Indian Ocean, despite the fact that it could require a re-allocation of relatively scarce resources. It is possible that Lakshadweep, along with the Southern Naval Command in Kochi, could be converted into a Tri -Command facility. Summary As India expands its maritime outlook in both the western and eastern theatres of the Indian Ocean, the islands of Lakshadweep will receive increased strategic attention. Located approximately 300 kilometres from the Indian west coast state of Kerala, the archipelago comprises 36 islands, with a total land area of only 32 square kilometres. The geographical spread of the islands, however, gives India around 20,000 km2 of territorial waters and an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of approximately 400,000 km2. To start with, as a part of its maritime strategy, India plans to convert the present naval outpost in Lakshadweep into a fully-fledged operational base, able to project power and provide sea denial and command of the sea capabilities, especially in relation to Pakistan.

  • 19 India-Pakistan
    India-Pakistan War-1971 Module - V Major Wars Post Independence 19 INDIA-PAKISTAN WAR - 1971 Note The 1971 Indo-Pak war was the third war that India fought with Pakistan after independence. However, this time the reasons for the war were different as compared to the previous ones. You may recall here that on the eve of partition of India there were two wings of Pakistan - the West and the East - separated by 1000 miles with India being sandwiched between the two. The Western wing is the present day Pakistan and where the government and capital of the country Islamabad is located while the capital for East Pakistan was Dhaka. The people of East Pakistan were dissatisfied with the treatment given to them by the West Pakistani Government. Hence they revolted against them. India helped the Mukti Bahini of East Pakistanis to get freedom. This was the major reason why the 1971 war took place. It was also the first war where Indian Army, Navy and Air Force took part collectivals. Each of these wings of the Armed Forces played a major part in Indian victory. Because of Indian help a new nation called Bangladesh was born. Objectives After studying this lesson, you will be able to: identify the reasons for the 1971 war and explain the major operations of the war. 19.1 Why did India and Pakistan fight a war in 1971? It is important to understand the reasons behind India’s involvement in the 1971 war. East Pakistanis were basically Bengali Muslims. Development in Pakistan was concentrated in the Western part while the Eastern side was neglected.
