This handbook provides a comprehensive study of India's maritime heritage. It presents perspectives on India's maritime history, territorial concerns, bilateral and multilateral engagements, traditional and non-traditional threats, maritime management and development, as well as climate change and its implications. The volume brings together accomplished academicians and practitioners who, through multidisciplinary and analytical methodologies, examine the concerns and challenges India faces at present or might face in the immediate future, focusing on crucial actors, policies and new developments. In doing so, the handbook provides an invaluable and pragmatic understanding of and solutions to India's maritime needs.
