| Summary: | The increasing dependence of sea-imported oil, as well as the increasing presence of China in the Indian Ocean region, led India to also focus its attention on the sea. This interest became clearer in the diplomatic initiative called Sagar Yatra. India’s rise in the Indian Ocean seems like a natural destiny due to the prominent position of the Hindustanic Peninsula in the basin and its rich maritime history built in Antiquity. This rich sea trade network fueled by the monsoon system is recovered now by the Mausam Project. This paper analyses the oceanopolitics of the Modi government. The theoretical framework is provided by historian K. M. Panikkar. As source, we used all available and reachable material, such as books, journals, or websites. |
