Replication Data for: Deconstructing Media Narratives of the Indo-Pacific Strategy: Exploring India’s Ontological Security and Coherent National Identity in the Times of India from 2019 to 2021

The dataset contains 47 news articles, including journalistic reports, editorials, commentary, and reprints, carefully selected from the Times of India.
