The word "energy security" has established itself as a famous catchphrase, not only in the scientific community but also in the political discourse. However, more generally speaking, the notions that are applied to energy security are fairly hazy. Through the lens of Indian culture, this study throws some insight on many issues related to energy security. To begin, we will have a conceptual discussion on the problem of energy security. Then, by presenting a concise overview of the many initiatives that have been made to define and, therefore, quantify energy security.  We have then proposed a course of action for enhancing the energy security by doing an analysis of the numerous issues that have been raised. Our result implies that it is important to take into account the structure of the market in addition to the stability of the political system.
