Has India always been a part of someone elses strategy?
A Rand Corporation study argues that India thinks defensively due to the geography and cultural belief systems, so India never had a strategic culture.
There is also the argument that Indias scriptures prescribe dharmayuddha, the ethics of war, so todays India is unable to master the war game.
Among the many issues is the question, can Indias greater aspirations be met without significant conventional military power?
Will the Pakistan problem die due to lack of water?
How can India manage its politically boiling neighbours?
Especially Han Chinas jingoism.
And terrorism in Afghanistan.
As the world becomes multipolar and India begins to take its deserved place in the comity of Nations, there is an urgent need to develop an Indian narrative of its security and Foreign policy needs, based on Indias experience and cultural and civilizational values.
This volume, titled, Indias foreign policy and National security strategy, brings together a galaxy of eminent strategic thinkers who provide deep insight into Indias neighbourhood geopolitics and what poses threat to Indias National security.
The volume thus begins with a refreshing scrutiny of Indias strategic culture, and interesting dissections of the challenges of National defence, internal security, neighbourhood Outreach and finally, the nuances of forging strategic partnerships in tune with National interests.
It gives the readers a world view of Indias future concerns.
