Although it is agreeable that India does require a National Security Strategy (NSS) for managing its security environment, both external and internal, from threats from aggressive neighbor countries, internal insurgencies, cyber security threats and other regional instabilities. An NSS would offer a structure for integrating the defense, intelligence and law enforcement branches of government for organized goal-directed counterterrorism activity. It would also enrich India’s diplomacy speaking points by understanding its security interests and approaches.

That is, the problems of an NSS are deep-rooted in the gigantic bureaucracy and coordination between agencies that oversee the process. However, the meeting of defense requirements with the economy results in funding complications. Political and electoral transferring and shifting may cause an interruption in security management. Also, central power and states are meant to create the appropriate cooperation because states manage specific affairs concerning internal security, like extremism or bordering in some areas. An NSS is feasible only when it can overcome these; this will be possible as its analytical and anticipatory capability to address emerging threats for India will be boosted up.
