How Hybrid is Hybrid Warfare?

India's Conundrum and Response

Abstract

Where does India stand in this muddle of hybrid warfare? Clearly, the next decade for India will not be like the last one. The challenges we face today will endure well into the future, but they will be overshadowed by emerging hybrid threats. It seems likely that these threats will grow Faster, be deadlier, and more ambiguous while expanding into new physical and virtual domains. Conceptually, India has its own share of challenges emanating from this paradox. But, what actually are these threats? And who actually are the perpetrators? This requires pondering over.
