India, as the world's largest digitally connected democracy, recognizes the critical importance of cyberspace in the face of evolving technological dynamics. With the second-largest global internet base, India emphasizes self-sufficiency to bolster cyber resilience and reduce dependence on foreign technology. This research explores India's historical efforts, spanning from the post-independence era to contemporary times, aimed at fortifying its cyberspace. The study delves into domestic measures such as the New Electronics Policy (NEP), IT Act 2000, and the National Cyber Security Policy, complemented by the establishment of key entities like the National Informatics Centre, CERT-In, Defence Cyber Agency, and National Task Force. The analysis extends to bilateral and multilateral collaborations, elucidating India's position as a global IT industry leader. Secondary resources of data, along with the Primary documents-including India's official policies-form the basis of this research, offering a comprehensive understanding of India's digital landscape.
