This is a serious, non-fiction examination of security, diplomacy, and statecraft in Indian foreign policy over the last two decades. It centers on how defence, diplomacy, and intelligence interact to shape a nation’s place in the world, with case studies that reveal successes, missteps, and the lessons learned. Written for readers of current affairs and political science who want a clearer view of regional dynamics, it adopts a thoughtful, educational tone that invites careful consideration and curiosity about policy choices that affect everyday security.
Content is presented through accessible analysis built on concrete case studies. It threads together Afghanistan’s upheaval, the China–Pakistan nexus, and the evolving regional order to show how India’s defence, diplomacy, and intelligence tools operate in practice. The narrative is balanced and patient, outlining institutions and the individuals who shape strategy while explaining how policy is made in real time. Readers will gain a cohesive map of the security landscape that links high-level decisions to tangible outcomes.
For readers who want to go deeper, the book offers policy-oriented recommendations aimed at adapting India’s security doctrine for the 21st century. Concepts and skills covered include national security strategy, defence planning, regional diplomacy, intelligence oversight, and crisis decision-making. Learning is presented in a clear, structured way, making complex geopolitics accessible without oversimplification.
