|
This paper examines the escalating Red Sea crisis that began in mid-November 2023, focusing on its
geopolitical implications and India's strategic role in the region. The crisis, triggered by Houthi rebels' attacks
on merchant shipping, has disrupted global maritime trade and heightened tensions in an already volatile area.
The study analyzes the historical context of conflicts in the Red Sea, the current power dynamics involving
major global players, and the economic stakes for countries dependent on this crucial maritime route. The paper
highlights India's multifaceted approach to the crisis, balancing diplomatic, military, and economic interests. It
explores India's strategic neutrality, its participation in regional security initiatives, and the challenges it faces
in maintaining influence amidst great power competition. The research also addresses the economic impact of
the crisis on India, particularly concerning trade routes and energy security.
