Locating the Bengali Revolutionaries in Burma (1923–33): As Reflected in the History and Literature of the Wider Migratory Culture of Bay of Bengal/Susmita Mukerjee. Section Two: The Contemporary Factors Shaping the Emergence of the Bay of Bengal Region as a Critical Strategic Theatre in Indian Foreign Policy. 4.

The Bay of Bengal as a Strategic Theatre: Trends in Narratives/Anindya Jyoti Majumdar. 6. India’s Bay of Bengal Strategy: Programme and Predicaments/Subhadeep Bhattacharya. Section Three: The Importance of Oceans to Strategy. 7. The Strategic Significance of Andaman and Nicobar Islands: Assessing Anti-Access Area Denial Potential in the Bay of Bengal/Vivek Mishra and Rushali Saha. 8. India’s Littoral Strategy in the Indo-Pacific Region: Partnership and Beyond/Sayantani Sen Majumdar. 9. Piracy and Armed Robbery in Indian Ocean Region: Assessment, Challenges and the Way Forward/Abhishek Mishra. Section Four: Globalisation, Regionalism, and Indian Alternatives. 10. Globalisation, Asian Regionalism and BIMSTEC: An International Political Economy Perspective/Avipsu Haldar. 11. The Bay of Bengal and the Politics of Strategic Geographies/Pratnashree Basu and Oishee Majumdar. 12. Power Projection in the Bay of Bengal: Comparing India and China’s Naval Strategies/Urbi Das. A significant platform of maritime connectivity the Bay of Bengal is important not just for littoral states (India, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Sri Lanka) but also for the landlocked countries of Bhutan and Nepal. Since time immemorial the Bay had been a maritime highway witnessing the movements of traders and commodities facilitating economic exchange but also large scale labour migration which encouraged cultural cosmopolitanism and exchange of ways of life. With the increasing importance of the Indo-Pacific region in the contemporary connectivity matrix, the Bay of Bengal is once again acquiring greater strategic significance with its critical position as a bridge between South, Southeast and East Asia. For India the Bay of Bengal region is emerging as an area of strategic significance and a potential zone for Asian economic growth. In this background, the volume examines themes like contemporary factors shaping the emergence of the Bay of Bengal region as a critical strategic theatre in Indian foreign policy; the inter-connectedness of the Indian and Pacific Oceans; the importance of oceans to security and commerce and India’s role within the broader region; the twenty-first century maritime Silk Road and Indian alternatives and the possibilities of reconnecting disconnected spaces through re-imagining a Bay of Bengal Community. In this connection the volume takes particular note of the emerging regional cooperative order for the promotion of peace and development in the Bay of Bengal region (BIMSTEC). The volume brings together historians, political analysts and political economists to emphasize the interconnectedness of the oceanic space through a detailed analysis of the Bay of Bengal as a space of strategic and economic significance, particularly for India, but also as a space for re-imagining a new regional community.…
