Download or read book India s Strategic Defense Transformation written by Brian Kenneth Hedrick and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India's transformation to modernize its military, obtain "strategic partnerships" with the United States and other nations, and expand its influence in the Indian Ocean and beyond includes a shift from an emphasis on the former Soviet Union as the primary supplier of defense articles to a western base of supply and an increasing emphasis on bilateral exercises and training with many of the global powers. The author explores the nature of this transformation, offers insights into the history of Indian defense relations, and suggests implications to U.S. foreign and defense policy. Much has been written regarding India's relations with its neighbors, especially Pakistan and China.

Download or read book India s Military Strategy written by S. Kalyanaraman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores what military strategy is and how it is interconnected with policy on one hand and military operations on the other. In the process, it traces the transformation of the notion of strategy from its original military moorings to a more policy-oriented and-influenced conception and elaborates upon a tripartite framework of policy, strategy and doctrine to think about, understand, and analyse the use of force. The book explores the politics of India-Pakistan conflict in order to root the study of Indian military strategy in the political sphere. It discusses three main issues that have ensured the persistence of conflict: incompatible national identities, Pakistan's congenital quest for parity with and compulsion to challenge India, and irreconcilable positions on the Kashmir issue. The book argues that India has invariably pursued limited political aims that did not threaten Pakistan's survival or form of government or regime in power albeit containing a counter offensive elements. It states that India employed the strategy of exhaustion during the Indian Army's campaigns in the 1947-48 conflict and 1965 war, which made way to strategy of annihilation during the 1971 war (East Pakistan), but after Pakistan's acquisition of nuclear weapons capability the strategy is back to exhaustion. The book highlights the importance of designing an overall military strategy for waging limited war and pursuing carefully calibrated political and military objectives by creatively combining the individual doctrines of the three services by establishing a Chief of Defence Staff system.

Download or read book India s Strategic Culture written by Shrikant Paranjpe and published by Routledge India. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book argues that the Indian strategic worldview underpinning its national security policy is born out of a predominant historical-civilizational perspective. Based on an understanding of India as a 'civilization-state' with long history, this evolved strategic approach engages with security from a global point of view and not a national one that typically focuses on the survival of the nation-state. Guided by its cultural and civilizational ethos, this approach has helped define India's changing role in the post-colonial world order -- from maintaining its strategic autonomy and attending to its developmental needs in the Cold War era to adopting a measured, mature and assertive role in the international affairs of the post-Soviet era of globalization. Providing a nuanced and comprehensive understanding of India's strategic culture in terms of conceptual formulations in the West as well as its own distinct historic trajectory of evolution in the subcontinent, the book traces its origins and pivotal applications in changing security policy frameworks in the post-independence and post-liberalization international relations. Further, the author examines the role of India's strategic thinking in defining state's policy responses to internal conflicts along political, economic, religious, and ethnic lines. The volume also evaluates the prevailing debates on the legitimacy of situation-based use of force, the traditional peace approach and the revisionist position that India seeks to emphasize in the current unequal geopolitical order. It will especially interest scholars, teachers and students of defence and strategic studies, international relations, history, and political science."--Publisher's website.

Download or read book Psychological Warfare and India written by Dr Arunkumar Bhatt and published by Lancer Publishers. This book was released on 2015-03-16 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wars are born in human mind. Great military leaders belonging to all times and cultures have always tried to influence the minds of their foes and friends alike to facilitate their own victories by making their enemies hesitant. The minds concerned could be influenced with a variety of overt and covert actions that send right signals to the target audiences. In the words of Allied Supreme Commander of the World War II, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, these actions are: anything from the singing of a beautiful anthem to the most extraordinary kind of physical sabotage. This is Psychological Warfare and the most preferred action is communication. Dr. Arunkumar Bhatt, who being a defence journalist knows nuances of communication and unfolds here this soft-kill strategy and its tactics. He traces the history of the psychological warfare to establish how steadily its importance has grown. It became a war winning factor in the Great War and its role further expanded in the World War II. The Psywar as it has come to be known among many names has not looked back since then. The advances in science and technology, revolution in communication and information technologies have greatly enhanced the range and effectiveness of the psychological warfare in terms of both, time and space. The Revolution in Military Affairs has been further sharpening the Psywar weapons. Dedicated Psywar units and even commands backed by elements in formation staff are in the vogue. The Psychological Warfare has now found a place among ‘war by other means.’ It is recognised as a command function and is factored in planning at all levels. It is so important that the decision to deploy the psy-weapons is taken at the top echelon of the high command and this is done much ahead of the breaking out of hostilities. Where does India that has a poor strategic culture and still poorer awareness about its security, stand vis-à-vis Psywar? Indian culture has instances of the Psywar. It was being practised in the ancient period. Kautilya recommends it strongly. Different invaders used it. The British practised it in an institutionalised fashion to rule India. India did counter the British psywar but in a rather ‘irregular’ way. India used it successfully in some of the post-independence wars but the country needs to do much more to protect itself against Psywar attacks and to use it effectively to enhance its own security in the present day multi-threat scenario. This is an attempt to table a calling attention motion before the nation.
