A Doubled Geography: Geobody, Land, and Sea in Indian Security Thought (revised version) Itty Abraham Warning Label: In recently re-reading this article, first published as a chapter in New Directions in India’s Foreign Policy: Theory and Praxis, ed., Harsh Pant, Cambridge UP 2018, I found myself quite dissatisfied in how I had presented my argument. Essentially, I had adopted a chronological path instead of highlighting the materialist-ontological approach I had promised. This version revises the original paper, hopefully making it easier to appreciate one of the main points I am trying to make – namely, when the sea becomes the focus of territoriality, it is no longer possible to apply lessons and expectations from terrestrial geopolitics, due to the distinct character of marine space. Not correcting for this ontological difference thwarts the achievement of strategic objectives and could lead to unintended outcomes, including inter-state conflict.
