Abstract: Over the past decade, India has emerged as a major power in the evolving international power matrix of the twenty-first century. India's sustained techno-economic progress, combined with its performance in the areas of strategic technology and information-communication technology, have catapulted the country to the status of a global technology player and a strong candidate for inclusion among the top world powers, in the near future. The role of technology in India's transformation has been significant. Sustaining this momentum and achieving numerous national objectives in an atmosphere of changing security dynamics, will be the real challenge. This paper presents a technology perspective of the security concerns and challenges for India, in the complex international environment of simultaneous competition and cooperation.
