Hybrid warfare has emerged as one of the most significant challenges to national security in the contemporary international system. It combines conventional military capabilities with non dynamic tools such as cyber operations, information warfare, proxy terrorism, economic pressure, and political influence activities. India witnesses persistent hybrid threats arising from its complex regional environment, unresolved territorial disputes, rapid digital transformation, and open democratic society. Cyber intrusions targeting critical infrastructure, coordinated disinformation campaigns across digital platforms, and cross border terrorism supported by external actors illustrate the evolving character of conflict confronting the Indian state. This paper examines hybrid warfare as a strategic framework and analyses its key dimensions relevant to India’s national security, namely cyber threats, information warfare, and transnational terrorism. It critically evaluates India’s existing institutional, legal, and policy responses and identifies structural and strategic gaps. The paper argues that India requires an integrated and proactive national approach that combines cyber resilience, counter terrorism, strategic communication, and diplomacy. Strengthening these capabilities is essential for safeguarding India’s security interests and for supporting its broader foreign policy objectives in a rapidly evolving multi-polar world.
