In common parlance, security is considered as a feeling of being secure, protected or safe against potential harm or any coercive thread. Traditionally, security is perceived as national security and that is too in monoscopic vision of military security. Contrary to aforesaid school of thought, a second school of thought advocates a wider concept of security. The second thought of school called ‘widner’ believes in a broad concept of security which brings new dimensions to the concept. They are strongly suggesting horizontal and vertical expansion of the security concept. Thus, the new thought of school turns in favors of positive security by expanding the concept horizontally and vertically. The vertical expansion includes individual, societal, nation and international dimension and horizontal expansion includes various other dimensions like economic, societal, psychological, environmental and many more. This paper is an attempt to analyze the concept of security with greater emphasis on national security in traditional and modern context of thoughts.
