Because of its geopoliticalposition, so if India want to achieve the dream of the big countries, its maritimestrategy will definitely have an important part in the rise of India’s foreign strategy.With the growth of the Indian naval forces as well as its intention to attempt tocontrol over important strategic roads in this region, especially in the21st century,India treat China as a competitors and a threat to dominate the Indian Ocean, and so itfrequently try to affect its expansion to the south China Sea region. The action ofIndia must be to give some impact to China and bring pressure on China’s maritimesecurity.In this paper, on the basis of previous studies, I tried to discuss Indian maritimestrategy since India’s independence from the geopolitical point of view, and tried tomake a historical ande dialectical analysis of India’s maritime strategy and proposedsome countermeasures to China.
