ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS Paper 2 (International Relations): Gulf security is central to India's West Asia policy. The GCC's move toward a joint command reflects regional threat perceptions and a push for collective defence over reliance on external powers. For India, with large diaspora, energy imports and trade ties, the way forward is steady engagement with the GCC as a bloc and with individual members while protecting energy and diaspora interests.
