Every time a person leaves his or her home, their existence and way of life are threatened in some way. If we took such a broad perspective of what is dangerous, our world would be overrun with security challenges. Security only refers to exceptionally hazardous threats—threats that could jeopardise key values to the point of irreparable damage if we do nothing to address the problem. Because India has been embroiled in conflicts with its neighbors—Pakistan in 1947-48, 1965, 1971, and 1999; and China in 1962—
the first component was to develop its military capability. India's choice to conduct nuclear tests in 1998 was justified by the Indian government as a means of ensuring national security because it is surrounded by nuclear-armed countries in the South Asian region. In 1974, India conducted its first nuclear test. To preserve India's security interests,
the second component of its security strategy has been to develop international norms and institutions. Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister, championed Asian unity, decolonization, disarmament, and the United Nations as a platform for resolving international issues. India has also taken steps to establish a global and non-discriminatory non-proliferation policy in which all countries have the same rights and obligations when it comes to WMD (nuclear, biological, chemical). It advocated for an equitable New International Economic Order (NIEO). The third component of India's security plan is aimed at addressing domestic security issues. Several terrorist groups from Nagaland, Mizoram, Punjab, and Kashmir, among others, have attempted to secede from India on several occasions. India has attempted to maintain national unity by adopting a democratic political system that allows various communities and organisations to freely express their grievances and share political power. Finally, India has attempted to grow its economy in such a way that the vast majority of its population are pulled out of poverty and misery, and significant economic inequalities are eliminated. The approach was not entirely successful; we remain an impoverished and unequal country.
