Power Without Alignment: India, Eurasia and the Search for Strategic Freedom - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Borders can be fenced, ports can be fortified, missiles can fly faster, and payment systems can be redesigned. Yet a country's real strength is tested somewhere less dramatic: whether its institutions, supply chains, technologies, and partnerships keep working when pressure rises.

Moving from the Durand Line and Pakistan's federal strains to sea-lane security, India-Russia defence cooperation, aerospace reliability, cyber resilience, critical minerals, and Eurasian corridors, this book examines the machinery behind national power. It asks a hard question: how much freedom does a state really possess when critical systems depend on decisions made elsewhere?

The answer leads through factories, customs posts, radar networks, banks, ports, mountain roads, software systems, and diplomatic rooms where choices carry consequences. India stands at the centre of the later discussion, balancing relationships with Russia, China, the United States, Europe, West Asia, and emerging Eurasian groupings while protecting room for independent judgement.

Clear, practical, and evidence-led, this is a study of power where capability creates options and continuity proves whether those options can survive pressure.
