The paper examines the present situation of Indian-sub-Continent from its security perspectives in the changing scenario. In this context, the Indian Sub-Continent has been experiencing a chronic threat of super-power rivalries since 1970’s. During the 70’s, the Indian Sub-continent and the Indian Ocean had become a major theatre of super-power rivalries. With passage of time, there has always been more or less a threat of security for India and the countries, situated in this continent. As a result, it has become a chronic threat to whole region. It is therefore, become an imperative to review the situation in the sub-continent from the security threat in global perspective. It also becomes equally imperative to evaluate its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threat to India and its neighbouring and littoral countries of the Indian ocean, so that the whole region may be protected as a ‘Zone of peace’ in the present changing scenario.
