India in QUAD Group: A Concern for China
Nikhat Parveen
Abstract: This paper presents the background for the formation of QUAD in the backdrop of China?s increasing economic and military power in the Indo-Pacific region. The study aims to evaluate India?s role in the QUAD. The paper further analyses the impact of the India- QUAD partnership over the Chinese presence in the region. India is an emerging Asian power with a growing economy and security attributes. It has consistently advocated for upholding regional security, stability, and peace. China has always been India's major dominant competitor in the region. The increasing footprint of China in the Indo-Pacific region particularly in the Indian Ocean has been a cause of concern for India. India has realized that regional security challenges cannot be tackled single-handedly and require the cooperation of multiple partners with similar strategic interests. Further India?s bilateral relations with China worsened with recent border clashes such as the Doklam Standoff (2017), the Galwan Valley clash (2020), etc. All these events and China?s strong presence in the Indian Ocean encouraged India to be part of QUAD. The participation of India in QUAD is one of the significant moves from India to deter China's aggressiveness. By focusing on the India- QUAD alliance the research looks at India?s role, and contribution within QUAD, and seeks to analyze China?s attitude towards the partnership.
