Internal Security
3/5/2025 10:31:39 PM

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s recent statement on internal security highlights a crucial shift in India’s strategic approach.
He rightfully asserted that internal security is no longer confined to conventional threats like terrorism, separatist movements, and left-wing extremism but extends to a broader spectrum of unconventional threats that could destabilize the nation’s economic and strategic interests.
In an era of hybrid warfare, cyber threats, economic disruptions, and misinformation campaigns, this perspective is timely and essential for safeguarding national security.
The government’s efforts, including strengthening security forces, enhancing intelligence networks, and modernizing weaponry, have yielded significant results during the years. However, the evolving nature of warfare and security challenges has necessitated a paradigm shift.
The Defence Minister’s remarks underline the increasing relevance of unconventional threats. Cybersecurity, economic warfare, disinformation campaigns, and technological espionage are now formidable challenges that demand strategic responses.
India’s digital infrastructure has expanded significantly, making cybersecurity a top priority. Cyberattacks on banking systems, power grids, and government institutions can cripple essential services and economic stability.
State and non-state actors have been found targeting India’s digital ecosystem, emphasizing the need for a robust cyber defense mechanism.
Economic instability can be induced through targeted financial manipulations, trade restrictions, and currency fluctuations. Disruptions in supply chains, particularly in critical sectors like defense and technology, can have long-term implications for national security. The government’s push for ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ (self-reliant India) is an attempt to counter economic vulnerabilities by reducing dependence on foreign supply chains.
Misinformation campaigns, especially on digital platforms, can polarize societies and destabilize democracies. Social media has become a battleground where fake news, propaganda, and doctored narratives are used to sow discord. Addressing this challenge requires coordinated efforts involving regulatory frameworks, digital literacy, and technological countermeasures.
The theft of sensitive defense and strategic information can compromise national security. The increased reliance on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data in defense operations makes it imperative to safeguard critical technologies from espionage and sabotage.
To counter these emerging threats, a multi-dimensional strategy is required. Strengthening cybersecurity frameworks, fostering indigenous technological capabilities, and enhancing intelligence-sharing mechanisms are key aspects. Collaboration with global partners to develop best practices in economic security and cyber defense will also be crucial.
Additionally, public awareness and resilience-building measures must be emphasized. The government has already initiated steps in this direction, but continuous evolution in policy and preparedness is necessary to stay ahead of adversaries.
