战略思维是安全战略制定与演变的决定性因素之一。印度的海洋战略思维具有若干稳定的要素，在新的背景下又不断发展，表现出延续稳定与演变发展的双重特征。印度具有深厚的海洋大国情结和持续的远海海军追求，其政策思考将”绝对安全“观和”合作安全“手段相结合，海洋安全战略思维中的”对巴性“和”对华性“已成为某种思维惯性。总的说来，印度在海洋安全战略领域仍然积极追求战略自主，但其内涵不断演化，可变性加大；其道义性与权力政治观相互结合的形态则表现出较大的矛盾性。这种战略思维指导下的印度海权建设取得了较大进展，但其固有的矛盾会持续制约印度的海权建设。
Strategic thinking is one of the decisive factors in the formulation and evolution of security strategies. India’s maritime strategic thinking demonstrates a deep maritime power complex and continuous pursuit of a deep-sea navy，combining the concept of “absolute security” with “cooperative security” means. What’s more，the Pakistan complex and the China complex havebecome an inertia in Delhi’s strategic thinking. In general，India is still actively pursuing autonomy in its maritime security strategy，but its combination of morality and power politics shows a certain degree of contradiction.
