The book stresses the importance of India’s conception of its security and its security practices for the region of Asia. The writings of scholars on aspects concerned with India’s national security deal with the national security issues particularly insurgency and terrorism and the way the country has responded to the challenges. They take up for scrutiny the nuclear history of India covering the nuclear tests conducted in 1998. They view India’s major bilateral and regional relationships and the need for vital defence reforms. They throw light on evolution of the Indian Army’s counter-insurgency doctrine, the scenario of instability in a nuclear South Asia and in this context the viability of the new limited war-fighting doctrine and its implications for strategic stability in the region.
