India At Risk: Misconceptions And Misadventures Of Security Policy
This is a non-fiction, political analysis book that investigates India's national security policy since independence. It challenges common assumptions about security challenges and the effectiveness of responses, focusing on conceptual fault lines and governance fractures that shape outcomes. The intended reader includes students of public policy, readers interested in national security and defense, and anyone seeking a clear, evidence-based perspective on how security decisions are made in a democracy. The tone is pragmatic, insightful, and sober, inviting readers to rethink what credible defence really requires.
Drawing on decades of hands-on experience managing a broad range of security challenges, the book blends historical context with insider insight. It traces external threats and internal security issues, using real-world examples to show how policy decisions were formed and where they fell short. The writing explains complex ideas—such as governance, defence planning, and strategic balance—in a straightforward way, making substantive analysis accessible to a wide audience while rewarding careful readers with deeper understanding.
Readers move through the material at a measured pace, with clear topic shifts and logical progression from past events to present-day questions. The narrative links historical episodes to ongoing debates about credible defence and national security, encouraging readers to differentiate myth from reality and to consider what effective policy would entail in a complex, evolving landscape.
- In-depth analysis of India's security policy across six decades, covering external and internal challenges
- Case studies drawn from real policy decisions and governance responses
- Clear, evidence-based explanations of concepts such as governance, defence planning, and strategic decision-making
- Insider perspective on the challenges of managing security-related issues, with practical insights
- Structured, readable prose that connects historical context to contemporary policy debates
After finishing, readers gain a nuanced understanding of how governance choices shape security outcomes in a democracy, along with practical insights for evaluating current and future policy options. The book leaves readers more informed, curious about public policy, and better equipped to engage in thoughtful discussions about national security and its implications for everyday life.
