Item Geostrategic Significance of South Asia:(IUP Publications, 2014) Singh, Bawa; Mir, Mohamad ArifAfter the nuclear tests conducted by both India and Pakistan in May 1998 in South Asia, the experts, particularly the former US president Bill Clinton, described the region volatile and a dangerous place in the world. This description of South Asia is to be viewed in the context of the uneasy relations between India and Pakistan since their independence. There are, of course, many other places in the world which are highly risky for the people who live there; the contemporary anarchy in Nigeria, Ukraine and the Middle East countries has provided disturbing evidence of the brutality of mankind. But these conflicts have either been confined to the said regions or have only limited regional significance. The disputes among South Asian countries have remained an area of unresolved and dangerous conflict involving external powers, arms proliferation and ethnic and religious hatred that go back to the evolution of India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka-the countries that form South Asia. Due to its strategic location and natural wealth, the region has acquired a very important position from a geostrategic point of view. External powers such as China and the US, to increase their economic stakes, seek to engage South Asian countries with respect to security and energy issues in West and Central Asia, the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia. Against this backdrop, the paper has attempted to study and analyze the geostrategic importance of South Asia and the role of China and the US as two major powers that have interests in the region.Item Maritime Security Threats in the Indian Ocean:How Prepared is the Indian Navy(IUP Publications, 2014) Singh, BawaThroughout history, the Indian Ocean had remained the pivot of international relations. Following the end of the Cold War, a paradigmatic shift has taken place with the astonishing economic growth of China and India. To sustain the growth rate of the major economies such as China and India and other regional countries, incessant supply of energy has become the dire requirement of the region. But in recent years, maritime threats have been growing exponentially. This perception has been heightened by incidents like 26/11 which took place via sea route. The maritime threats like sea piracy, narco trafficking, gun trafficking and maritime terrorism, particularly after the Mumbai attacks, have created maritime security challenges for the Indian Navy. The focus of this paper is to find out how the Indian Navy is preparing itself to cope with these maritime security challenges.Item British Indian Army: Role of Punjab in the World War-I.(University of California, Santa Barbara, 2018) Singh, BawaItem India’s Central Asia Policy: Factoring Russia(World Focus, 2018) Singh, BawaThe Indo-Soviet friendship has been evolved into a strategic partnership and cooperation in general and in context of Central Asia in particular. For the Indo-Russia relations, the regional developments present the compatibility of their mutual interests, particularly in resource-rich Central Asia.

But these economic ties had frozen on account of colonial dynamics for an extended period. With the breakup of Russia, the Central Asia has emerged on the geopolitical landscape. Since then, both India and Central Asia are having good political relations, but the economic ties including trade and investment are at the lowest level despite the launch of several policies. The Modi government took over the reins in 2014.Item Geopolitics of counter terrorism in Afghanistan : SCO’s strategy is in question(2016) Singh, BawaSince its political independent existence 1747, Afghanistan had been useful for the great empires for sustaining the balance of power. The geopolitical rivalry between British India and Tsarist Russia from the last century (1880-1901) to date had complicated the security situation in Afghanistan. It was not the issue of sovereignty rather it was security concerns of British India and Russia that determined Afghanistan as a state
