India’s evolving defence and civilisational strategy

Overview

Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh has articulated a vision of India as a ‘civilisational power’ that seeks global growth through ‘positive change without conflict’ rather than through revisionist means. During a defence summit in New Delhi, Singh highlighted India’s focus on technology-driven security, including advancements in space, cyber, AI, and hypersonic missile technology.

Singh further emphasized that national strength is a combination of military capability, such as missile stockpiling, and a strong sense of national consciousness and cultural roots. He noted that technological progress, including AI, should be balanced with a sense of duty to society and the collective good.
