भारत के भीतर अपनी सार्वजनिक पत्रिका में खतरों की प्रवाह कर्मचारियों और कर्ताओं के बारे में प्रश्न का प्रभाव क्या है? Examine the geopolitical challenges India faces in South Asia despite its global rise. How can India navigate these challenges to strengthen its regional leadership?

India's global rise can be seen in: Chair of the several UN agencies. Economic ally stronger - with high GDP growth. Engagement and initiatives on climate change (e.g. ISA, CDRI). Member of multilateral and other forums - I2U2, IPEF, Quad, BRICS, SCO. However, despite global rise, several geopolitical challenges are faced by India:

i) Unstable democracies in the neighbourhood - coup in Myanmar, Bangladesh. ii) Low economic trade and poor fiscal capacity of countries such as Sri Lanka, Pakistan. iii) Infiltration and incursions from across the border. iv) Terrorist infiltration on Pakistan border, incursion by Chinese PLA in Ladakh. iv) Boundary dispute and clashes. v) Terrorism emanating from ungoverned spaces. vi) Drug and arms trafficking - leading to internal security issues.

India can navigate these challenges in the following ways:- i) Improving trade with the neighbours - utilising forums such as SAARC, BIMSTEC. ii) Following the Gujral doctrine - no reciprocity in relations expected and neighbour to be given priority. iii) Engaging with the interim government, military establishment to foster relations. iv) Improving border infrastructure to counter smuggling and infiltration. v) Regional development to minimise issues of insurgency. vi) Aid to countries in crisis. (e.g.) vaccine matter vii) Colliding water disputes. (e.g.) Treaty with Bangladesh. According to S. Taishankar, "A nation that aspires to lead cannot continue with unsettled borders, unintegrated regions and underexploited opportunities" and therefore navigating the issues are needing to achieve global rise.
