Under which pillar of the 'RAKSHA' document is India described as a Net Security Provider and First Responder in the Indian Ocean Region?
- A.Strategic Partnerships
- B.Capacity Building
- C.Indigenous Exports
- D.Maritime Security
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Maritime Security. That pillar of the RAKSHA document speaks of strengthening India's role as a Net Security Provider and a First Responder in the Indian Ocean Region, and both phrases are standard usage in Indian maritime strategy. The other three pillars cover different ground. Strategic Partnerships in option A is about deepening bilateral and multilateral security cooperation. Capacity Building in option B covers joint military exercises, training programmes and the sharing of best practices with friendly countries. Indigenous Exports in option C is about promoting Make-in-India defence platforms so that the country becomes a dependable global hub for defence manufacturing. Candidates should be able to match each pillar with its content, because questions are often set the other way round, naming the description and asking for the pillar. All four together are meant to keep India an anchor of peace and rule-based order.
