Geopolitics’ December, 2020 issue primarily focusses on roadmap for modernisation of the Indian Navy. The Indian Navy Special edition analyses the challenges towards achieving the long-term goal of India developing blue-water naval capabilities. The issue carries an exclusive interview of Admiral Karambir Singh, the 24th Chief of the Indian Navy, in which he explains how the Indian Navy is developing jointmanship with other friendly navies in the Indo-Pacific for maintaining regional stability and safeguarding India’s national security interests. The edition also carries detailed articles on building a powerful but cost-effective naval force, strengths and weaknesses in shipbuilding, future naval challenges and the nuclear triad. The issue also carries extensive features on maritime domain awareness and new-age underwater weapons. A comprehensive writeup on the urgent requirement for militarisation of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands for sea dominance makes the edition an astounding and highly enlightening read. Plus, a number of interviews of prominent industry leaders from Navantia, Larsen & Toubro, Rolls-Royce, Naval Group and MBDA, take the issue to an impressive conclusion. The December, 2020 edition is a must read for everyone.
