as His Majesty's Indian Navy. When India became a republic in 1950, the Royal Indian Navy as it had been
named since 1934 was renamed to Indian Navy.
The primary objective of the navy is to safeguard the nation's maritime borders, and in conjunction with other
Armed Forces of the union, act to deter or defeat any threats or aggression against the territory, people or
