Indian Hegemonic Design in South Asia: Implication for Regional Stability

    India's political expansion in the south Asia region has arisen a question in scholars' minds, is India perceive itself as a regional hegemonic power? Since Indian 14th Prime Minister Narendra Modi took the oath, a visible change can be seen in Indian external behavior. PM Modi is adopting a new policy and is present as a major actor in Global politics. The security domain of the South Asian region is the center of flux because of two rival nuclear powers India and Pakistan. The craze of acquisition of nuclear power cannot be retracted by both states but it is a matter of concern to maintain credible deterrence. This paper will elaborate in detail how Indian hegemonic designs can impact regional stability.
