Abstract

The end of the cold war has changed the notion of security. In classical terms, security primarily means to defend and safeguard the territorial integrity and autonomy of the nation. In other words security envisages protection and welfare of the state from other neighboring states. But the process of globalization has changed the whole world “a global village”. States and communities have come together to promote their shared interests either forgetting or ignoring their differences. This changed environment has also led changes in the concept of security. The scope of the studies on security has therefore expanded with the emergence of diverse concepts like cooperative security, comprehensive security, human security, non-traditional security. In such an interdependent world, the multidimensional concept of security has given way to social, economic, political, cultural security also. The globalist approach to security addresses issues of global inequality, poverty, human rights, democracy, individual and group security, sustainable economic development, protection of environment etc. The importance of energy raised energy security question and energy security turned to the integral part of a countries foreign as well as domestic policy. The energy security became one of the major components of the security by states. In this paper an attempt has been made to analyze and evaluate India’s energy security policy. Simultaneously, this paper explains the ever-increasing gap between India’s energy vision and its energy reality.
