Soft cover. Condición: New. Pakistan sees India as the raison d'etre for going nuclear and considers its nuclear weapon as the ultimate guarantor of nation's existence and its sovereign entity providing for strategic equaliser of power asymmetry, deterrent of conventional war and facilitator of sub-conventional war. It was in May 1998 when both, India and Pakistan openly went nuclear. However, since then, the way Pakistan has been amassing fissile materials and developing nuclear arsenal including development of TNW, and their envisioned employment as weapon of warfighting, is a matter of concern for the world as a whole and India in particular. India's nuclear doctrine has never been reviewed since its introduction in January 2003. With increase in Pakistan's nuclear capabilities impacting security considerations for India, there is a raging debate with respect to India's doctrine of NFU and Massive Retaliation. So, the debates making round areIs there a need for India to review its Nuclear Doctrine?, Does Pakistan's TNW pose dangers to robustness of nuclear deterrence between India and Pakistan? Has Pakistan blocked the options for India to launch conventional operations and achieved its envisaged full spectrum deterrence? Is Pakistan's TNW Threat Credible? What is the Efficacy/Futility of TNW as Weapon of Warfighting? Should India also develop TNW? and Should India sign CTBT? The author has attempted to answer these questions and has been remarkably frank and honest in expressing his views. Akhilesh Kumar (now Brigadier) is an Infantry Officer commissioned into the 4th Battalion of The Rajputana Rifles in 1992 and is an alumnus of Sainik School Tilaiya, the National Defence Academy Khadakwasla (Pune) and Indian Military Academy at Dehradun.

Soft cover. Condición: New. The fourth largest religion in the world, Buddhism has over 520 million followers worldwide. India and China are home to sites of religious and historical value for the followers of Buddhism. In India, which is the home and birthplace of Buddhism, the religion is viewed by leaders and civil society members around the country, particularly in the political and academic spheres, as a way of not only strengthening cultural and economic ties with various Southeast Asian countries, but also as a means of fostering connections and preserving the religious and cultural practices of Tibetan Buddhist refugees in India. In contrast, China's increasing claims that Buddhism is a Chinese concept by releasing propaganda that it is an "ancient Chinese religion" is being furthered by building temples and promoting tourist trails, not only within the country but also in Southeast Asia. Preserving domestic stability, diffusing hostility in Tibet and acquiring access to influential Buddhist organizations seem to be China's goals at present. This occasional paper takes a deep dive into these contrasting standpoints and potential sources of friction as a result of both nations' contrarian approaches. Additionally, the paper also seeks to explore opportunities for cooperation and friendship between the two nations. It seeks to investigate China's intentions behind its policies, decisions and propaganda centered on Buddhism, as well as India's efforts in building a Buddhist tourist circuit and enhancing its soft power, with the help of the same. In doing so, the paper looks at the myriads of initiatives undertaken by India and China with respect to Buddhist tourism, and examines how the two nations' Buddhist diplomacy shape relations with the rest of Southeast Asia.…

Soft cover. Condición: New. The book captures a critical period of the Indian history when an unprecedented, devastating COVID-19 pandemic emerges in the beginning of the 2020. India being a diverse country, and the second most populous nation in the world, the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the society has been heterogeneous and lethal. The book aims to better prepare the Indian society in mitigating the impact of pandemic as a result of future waves of COVID-19 infection through identification of several underlying key socio-demographic factors by comparing infection transmission and deaths between highest-affected and least-affected Indian states, and how these factors can be intervened in controlling COVID-19 disease spread across the population. Thus, this book may help policy leaders to design more effective interventional strategies in preventing the deleterious outcomes of pandemic on the Indian society.…

It has infected around 113 million people globally and left over 2 million dead. The global economy was devastated. What caused this Pandemic? Was it a natural epidemic? Was it genetically engineered in the Wuhan Institute of Virology? Did it leak out from there accidentally?

China, today, is the focus of discussions due to its actions, particularly in the South China Sea, where territorial disputes have affected the stability of the region. The book contends that China's actions have not contributed to promoting confidence amongst its smaller neighbours who cannot flex their muscles in any dispute. This is even more relevant in the context of China's rejection of the award by the Permanent Court of Arbitration. The wanton destruction of the marine environment by the dredging of the coral reefs to create artificial islands and build military assets only shows China in a poor light. While China claims to pursue a 'peaceful periphery', unfortunately, it buttresses its claims in the region by the use of force and coercion, as well as the economic leverage. Its aggressive and assertive behaviour does not evoke confidence that China, which aspires to be the number one power in the world, is moving in the right direction. This monograph aims to examine the contours and compulsions of the related issues to arrive at templates for conflict resolution in the region.…

Soft cover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Abstract. 1. Formative years. 2. After effects of illegal migration. 3. Demographic changes and rise of insurgency. 4. Neighbourhood effect. 5. Challenges and recommendations. Northeast India is a unique mix of ethnic, cultural, religious and linguistic diversity. The British policies of the 19th and 20th centuries encouraged movement of settlers into Assam and Bengal for increasing productivity and reclaiming barrer tracts of land. This uncontrolled movement was resented by the tribal population, who feared loss of their land and identity. Post independence and the 1971 War, large scale migration, to escape religious persecution and in the search for better living conditions, has led to alteration of the demographic profile which has further created social tensions. The quest to maintain tribal identity, the fight for diminishing resources and the vote bank local politics have manifested in insurgency movements, frequent cycles of violence and poor development of the region. Assam and Tripura have faced insurgency due to the demographic change whereas the Manipur, Nagaland and Mizoram insurgencies are based on the issue of tribal identity. Material support by China as well as Pakistan, and easy access to Bangladesh and Myanmar have resulted in the establishment of insurgent camps across the border. Open borders, increasing religious fundamentalism and rise of religion-based insurgent groups have serious security repercussions, with a violence cycle on tribal and religious lines, as witnessed in Assam. Given the complexity of the problem, the solutions are complex and require strong political will, at both central and state levels. Strong diplomatic overtures are required with Bangladesh and Myanmar to take action against insurgent camps on their territory and negotiate transit rights for better connectivity. The government has to devise means to bring all factions of the insurgent groups to a common negotiating table. India's Look and Act East Policy can provide huge economic benefits with a land gateway to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) through Myanmar, and revitalise the northeast region. The last important facet would be perception management in integrating the region with the rest of India by treating these states as the Indian heartland and not merely as rim states.…
