India has legitimate security concerns in the IOR, which falls in its strategic backyard, especially with China making strategic maritime moves in the region. But India might not want to be seen as a regional supercop in the IOR, nor as the prime mover of a naval military bloc in the Asia-Pacific region. This book discusses about India considering itself to be "a neutral player" in the entire power-play in the Asia-Pacific region, with the US seeking to "contain" China. It also tries to bringout the Strategy of other players in the region and its Impact on India.
