Central Asia has been considered as part of India s strategic
neighbourhood; however India s engagement with Central Asia has
been weak due to many contextual reasons. Earlier when the nascent
Central Asian nations acquired their independent status after the
demise of the Soviet Union India was preoccupied with its own
economic problems. Discovery of hydrocarbons and minerals enhanced
the strategic importance of Central Asian Republics. The secular
polity of these nations also holds tremendous importance for India
as the forces of radicalism and extremism especially those
emanating from the Af-Pak belt would have adverse impact on the
regional security. Major powers are also involved in Central Asia
for securing their own interests. This volume looks at the
strategic environment in Central Asia, the evolving security
situation in Afghanistan that is of concern to Central Asian states
as well as India, the non-traditional threats which are becoming
more important than the conventional threats, the economic aspects
of engagement with Central Asia, prospects of defence and security
cooperation and the way forward. The contributors to the volume are
well known experts, diplomats and strategic professionals who have
looked at every aspect of India-central Asia engagement and have
suggested a way forward.
