The escalating crisis between India and Pakistan highlights the urgent need for Western governments to reassess their strategic posture in South Asia. India’s growing geopolitical weight makes it an indispensable partner in counterbalancing authoritarian powers in the Indo-Pacific which seek to change borders through force. The West must prioritize a pragmatic and durable alignment with India to promote regional stability, deter future aggression, and reinforce a rules-based international order.
