description Joint Doctrine of Indian Armed Forces, unveiled in 2017, is the all-encompassing strategic design that outlines the core philosophy, concepts, principles, and ideals that are being pursued by the Indian Armed Forces for the attainment of India’s strategic objectives. This paper employs a constructivist theoretical approach to assess the Joint Doctrine of Indian Armed Forces’ connection with Hindutva beliefs and ideals as well as its reflection of India’s incumbent government’s strategic objectives of Hindu revivalism and expansionist ambitions, while formally shedding off its decades-old garb of so-called secularism. Through the analysis of Joint Doctrine of Indian Armed Forces’ core ideas and concepts, this paper examines the Indian Armed Forces’ institutional choice of this doctrine to pursue Hindutva ideals coupled with its likely implications in terms of regional instability and insecurity.   Bibliography Entry Rafique, Shakaib. 2020.
