ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS Paper 2 (International Relations) and GS Paper 3 (Security). Issue: the Indo-Pacific's shifting maritime balance -> provision/policy: Malabar's growth from a bilateral drill into a four-nation Quad exercise, plus India's Act East and SAGAR/MAHASAGAR outlook -> implication: interoperability and maritime domain awareness, balanced against concerns of alliance-like perception and strategic autonomy -> way forward: keep exercises inclusive, deepen logistics and information-sharing pacts, and retain issue-based autonomy.
