Question

Who said that “security is not military hardware though it may include it, security is not military force though it may encompass it, security is development and without development, there is no security ?”

This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2025 Paper 2 Hindi Question Paper (15-Jun-2025)
The correct answer is

Robert Mc Namara

Robert Mc Namara option is correct.

Robert S. McNamara, US Secretary of Defense (1961–68) and later President of the World Bank (1968–81), articulated this developmental view of security in his 1968 book The Essence of Security and in his Montreal speech of 18 May 1966. Writing from the Vietnam-era conviction that military power alone could not guarantee stability in the Global South, he argued that underdevelopment, poverty and inequality are themselves security threats — a formulation that later informed the UNDP's 1994 Human Development Report and the concept of human security.

K. Subrahmanyam was an Indian strategic thinker best known for nuclear doctrine writing, not this specific dictum; Winston Churchill's security vocabulary was firmly military-industrial; Michal Louw is not associated with the quote.
