The Earth is comprised majorly of waters. The man cannot survive without water. The life of humans is dependent upon water not only through its intake but also through the dependence of transport and trade on oceans. This has been a way of communication for mankind for millennia. Mahan said that the Indian Ocean would be the most important ocean in twentieth century. He also emphasized that the influence over oceans would be decisive for influence over lands. India did never pay such attention to the influence in Indian Ocean as it is paying now. Although Nehru acknowledged the reality to have influence in Oceans but never lead such policy. The initiative was taken in 2004 with the introduction of first naval doctrine. This was upgraded in 2009. Indian emphasis is on a leading role of India in Indian Ocean. This aspiration has far reaching security threats for Pakistan. Pakistan has long been victim of Indian hegemonic designs and has been in quest to balance the Indian power. This paper endeavors to investigate the contours of Indian designs in Indian Ocean affecting Pakistan’s interests negatively. This may trigger a conflict in Indian Ocean, a new theatre, between old traditional rivals.
