In 2007, when India, America, Japan and Australia discussed a platform to promote maritime security and regional peace, the platform was named Code Quad. But at that time this organization was not officially recognized nor was it discussed. In 2017, the four countries America, Japan, Australia, India together reestablished it as an official platform. The four countries actively revived this organization through joint declarations. It is the most important member of this organization. Because the region due to which this organization was formed. That Indo Pacific region is close to India.

The four major member countries of Quad are India, America, Japan and Australia. All four countries have their own role in this organization. India's policy is independent foreign policy. By joining this alliance, India works on a strategy to balance China. America adopts a policy of directly challenging China in this region. Japan is a member of this alliance as an active participant in the status and maritime security of the region. At the same time, Australia has become a member of this alliance as a trusted ally to balance the growing influence of China. These four countries of the Quad are supporters of democratic values, independent sea routes and rule-based global order.

Strategy of Quad

The main focus of the Quad is to balance China's aggressive attitude in the Indo-Pacific region. This group regularly makes efforts like Malabar Naval Exercises, Supply Chain Resilience Programs, technology cooperation, and vaccine diplomacy. So that China can be balanced strategically and politically in this region, China constantly keeps an eye on this region. China is also doing illegal construction in the South China Sea. It claims its right over it.

 Quad vs China

Quad is acting as a strategic balance in response to China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), construction in the South China Sea and aggressive expansionism. But China considers this organization to be against itself and it knows that it is against it. In its view, this organization is made for China only. Which can challenge it in the coming times.

India's role and influence

India's role in this organization is different from other countries. Because India is the only country. Which shares borders with China. No other Quad country shares borders with China. This makes India's role even more important. India's "Act East Policy", digital partnership, defense cooperation, and influence in the Indian Ocean region make it a major player. In the coming times, India's role will be even more important in this because this region is closest to India.

The member countries of the Quad also face many challenges. They also have many internal differences among themselves. The priorities of all these member countries are different. China is trying to end this organization. It is constantly increasing economic and military pressure. It turns the organization against itself. Apart from this, some Asian countries are close to China. Due to which the regional balance may deteriorate in the coming times.

Conclusion

In 2025, the Quad Alliance stands as a strategic pillar in maintaining peace, security, and a rules-based order in the Indo-Pacific region. With growing geopolitical challenges, especially from China's assertive behavior, the importance of coordinated action among democratic nations has become more crucial than ever. India, with its unique geographical location, independent foreign policy, and expanding global influence, plays a central role in this alliance. As the Indo-Pacific becomes the epicenter of global power play, the Quad’s success will largely depend on unity, mutual trust, and strategic vision among its members. The coming years will test the strength of this alliance, and India is expected to emerge as a decisive force shaping the future of the Indo-Pacific.
