Abstract

The South Asian region has witnessed a high level of insecurity ever since the region became independent from colonial rule. This condition has persisted even after the end of the cold war. Our paper looks at the Indian threat perceptions, the Indian responses to such threat perceptions, and, the effects of the Indian response. The three principal sources of Indian threat perceptions have been Pakistan, China, and domestic insurgent groups. This paper con tends that the principle problem in Indo-Pakistan relations has been the problem of security dilemma, a condition where the increase in the security of a country, arouses fear in the hearts of its adversaries, thereby leading to a reduction in its security.
