This work is the first volume of the trilogy on India’s power dynamics and the national security. In this work, Maj Gen Kuldip Singh Bajwa (Retd.) examines the tentative initial discovery of armed power as an instrument of state policy in 1947-48; its degradation from 1949 to the national humiliation of 1962; and its resurgence in 1965. In the next two works, national security from 1966-2007 and the internal and external dynamics of India as an emerging power, will be examined.
