Book Synopsis 1962 and the McMahon Line Saga by : Claude Arpi
Download or read book 1962 and the McMahon Line Saga written by Claude Arpi and published by Lancer Publishers LLC. This book was released on with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years ago, India went through a tragic event which has remained a deep scar in the country’s psyche: a border war with China. During the author’s archival peregrinations on the Himalayan border, he goes into some relatively little known issues, such as the checkered history of Tawang; the British India policy towards Tibet and even the possibility for India to militarily defend the Roof of the World. The author also looks into why the Government still keeps the Henderson Brooks Report under wraps and what were Mao’s motivations for ‘teaching India a lesson’. Throughout this series of essays, the thread remains the Tibet-India frontier in the North-East and the Indo-Chinese conflict. The more one digs into this question, the more one discovers that the entire issue is intimately linked with the history of modern Tibet; particularly the status of the Roof of the World as a de facto independent nation. British India had a Tibet Policy, Independent India, did not. This led to the unfortunate events of 1962.

Download or read book Kashmir Saga A Bundle of Blunders written by Lt Gen DD Saklani and published by Lancer Publishers LLC. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J&K is a complicated problem, compounded by various internal and external factors. Unfortunately the issue has not remained confined to India and Pakistan only but has become a pawn in global and regional power politics. Based on his unique personal experiences, first as a soldier and then as the Security Adviser to the Governor, the author has sketched out the intrigues and blunders which plunged the state into its present state of militancy of disturbing magnitude, causing untold trouble and suffering to the people. The book tells the story of J&K forged by its ironic destiny and by the uncertainties and instabilities of Indian policies. Many pertinent questions arise. Who were the persons responsible for bringing about such a situation in the state and for how long do its people have to suffer the miseries? Is there to be an end to this bloodletting or will the conflict continue as hithertofore? One may wonder what led to the great tragedy in the state. There have been genuine grievances of the people which have not been adequately addressed. Political and administrative lapses created resentments, which have been and continue to be exploited by outside powers.

Book Synopsis Cyberspace Security: A Primer by : Air Vice Marshal AK Tiwary
Download or read book Cyberspace Security: A Primer written by Air Vice Marshal AK Tiwary and published by Lancer Publishers LLC. This book was released on with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cyberspace has become a playground for everyone. Financial institutions, online shopping, e-commerce, e-governance, communication networks and almost all agencies – civil, military and private make continuous use of cyberspace. At the same time spying by certain agencies on daily life of all seems to resurface the fears of George Orwellian’s 1984 classic. While the internet is an essential means for most to conduct their daily lives, the Deep Web, nearly 395 times the size of internet permits untraceable activities to normal and evil doers with similar ease. The ease and efficiency provided by the cyberspace, alas comes with the risk of cyber criminals threatening its very benefits. It has already provided undreamt reach to terrorists to launch their attacks worldwide. Even Nation States have not shied away from extensive use of cyberspace for unethical purposes. Attribution – an essential precondition to initiate retaliatory measures is extremely difficult in cyberspace. It is like the Wild West with no Sherriff to enforce law and order. How does then One ensure safety in cyber space operations? This Primer is the basic step towards cyberspace security. It offers suggestions at all the levels of cyberspace in simple language minus the jargon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was called for his service to the motherland. He reciprocated immediately. Giving up all familial relationships, he partook in a rigorous training programme that was a true test of his heart, body, mind and soul. Fighting off his cowardly hopes of quitting the organization so as to avoid the ordeal, he was finally made battle ready. Slipped into enemy territory, his espionage attempts met with complete success. However luck soon turned against him, as during his third mission he was seized by the enemy camp and imprisoned. He was subjected to absolute third degree torture and only miraculously, and albeit divinely, escaped the contours of death on more that one occasion. But he continued to strive towards seeing his own country once again. He looked forward to coming back home. And one day, God gave him that chance. He returned to the border once again, so that he could be united with his fellow countrymen. Was the welcome given to him befitting that of a hero? Or even if not a hero’s welcome, certainly he needn’t have been treated like a blackguard, a traitor! Who was he after all a Spy, or a Soldier?

Download or read book India Under Fire written by Bharat Verma and published by Lancer Publishers LLC. This book was released on with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From aggressive, devious neighbours to well-armed internal insurgents, the list of those taking aim at our nation is long. Our morally bankrupt political system and blinkered bureaucracy only compounds the mess. As the editor of Indian Defence Review, Bharat Verma lives by a simple philosophy: ‘Don’t give me a list of problems, give me solutions.’ Solutions are what he offers in this sequel to Fault Lines, a compilation of his writings since then. From ways to counter China’s imperial ambitions, to why a splintered Pakistan is in India’s interest. Why we need to develop not just cutting edge defence industries but also have an offensive orientation against those gunning for our democracy. Because at the end of the day, national interest is supreme. In this riveting series of columns, Verma takes a 360 degree look at the strategic and military challenges facing India today, and suggests ways and means to overcome them.
Book Synopsis Triumph in Surrender by : Vijainder K Thakur
Download or read book Triumph in Surrender written by Vijainder K Thakur and published by Lancer Publishers LLC. This book was released on 2016-05-25 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Triumph in Surrender is a fast paced narrative that blends edge-of-the-seat action with heartwarming passion and rectitude, set in the IAF against the backdrop of an existential threat to the nation. The thriller romance gives an intimate glimpse into the lives of IAF personnel and showcases the technological capabilities of the service that invariably gets the first call to action. The novel’s plot is woven around three brilliant and passionate characters who stay in perfect harmony despite cross wired attractions, out of deep respect for each other. Triumph in Surrender illustrates how, when reposed with freedom and trust by their governments, the karamvir yodhas of this world can ward off the most diabolic threats to civilized life; evil exists only where goodness is mute or shackled. The book cover doesn’t allude to it, but the narrative proclaims it loudly - the karamvir yodhas of today are as often women, as men.

Book Synopsis Indian Defence Review Vol 29.2 by : Lt Gen JS Bajwa
Download or read book Indian Defence Review Vol 29.2 written by Lt Gen JS Bajwa and published by Lancer Publishers LLC. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new issue of Indian Defence Review discusses the pros and cons of private aerospace manufacturing industry and why it should be encourage to flourish. Group Captain Joseph Noronha very strongly contends that the private aerospace industry must flourish in India to develop the sector. Artillery modernization in doldrums and IDR proposes a major overhaul in the procurement process to hasten reequipping of Regimens of Artillery immediately with 155mm guns. Group Captain Sachdev looks critically into whether the Indian Air Force equipped for a two-front war in case China-Pakistan join hands to attack India at the same time. The IAF has already informed the government that they are not prepared to handle the two-front war and hence, finalization of MMRCA deal is extremely vital. There is an interesting debate of shaping, equipping and employing Special Forces by Saikat Dutta and Force Projection by Brig Deepak Sinha. Also our senior military experts propose tired board defence against China. With the classified Handerson Brooke report leaked out, Gen Bajwa, former Chief of Staff Eastern Command draws interesting lessons from it. On the other hand, Bharat Verma takes apart and attempt to create a ‘fake military coup’ as also details the incompetence of the defence minister, which has lowered the military preparedness in the last 10 years against increasing and multiplying security threats on India’s border.
Book Synopsis Mizoram The Dagger Brigade by : Nirmal Nibedon
Download or read book Mizoram The Dagger Brigade written by Nirmal Nibedon and published by Lancer Publishers LLC. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the explosive story of the MNF struggle that persists in the dense jungles of Mizoram. Area Specialist Nirmal Nibeaon penetrated the MNF and came upon a mine of information that had never been made public. This gripping, stranger-thanfiction story is authenticated by a rare selection of photographs and contemporary sketches. Recorded conversations with top Mizo leaders who either participated in the movement or were holding important positions during the height of the insurrections and snap interviews with guerrillas lend an extraordinary force to the narrative. Nibedon is the first journalists to have made the leaders of the movement break their decadeold silence. Owing to the fluid situation prevailing in the hills, there are gaps in the Mizo story. Yet, this is a brilliant attempt to reconstruct the insurgency operations carried out by the Underground and the Indian War Department’s actions to contain the threat. Besides a minute-to-minute account of guerilla depredations and the counterinsurgency operations by the soldiers in Olive-Green, it is also the tale of Mizo people who have passionately preserved their traditions and whose fighting spirit is still nourished by legendary warriors of the past. The Dagger Brigade is the graphic account of a disastrous, yet heroic struggle. It will be attacked, damned, praised and read around the world, for it is true, tough, objective and the first bold exposure of the activities in The Hood of the Cobra.
Book Synopsis Charge of a Mountain Brigade by : Lt Gen PN Kathpalia
Download or read book Charge of a Mountain Brigade written by Lt Gen PN Kathpalia and published by Lancer Publishers LLC. This book was released on 2014-12-26 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exploits of the 71 Mountain Brigade – “The Brigade of the Year” begins with its having the lush green hills of Nagaland to fight the war of Liberation of Bangladesh shoulder to shoulder with the Mukti Bahini. From the time it left its location in Limakong (MANIPUR) till it finally settled down in Barrackpore, it went through eight formations in a short period of seven months moving from place to place. The Brigade was the first to enter Bangladesh from the North and the first to take the surrender and return to India. This formation did the longest advance in the shortest possible time and according to the Pakistanis “the entire action went with the precision of a clock work and according to the Book”. It was the integral brigade of 9 Mountain Division, which was placed under command of 8 Mountain Division for insurgency operations. From there it moved to defend the 1,200 mile-long Siliguri Corridor and then with a stroke of luck got converted into the Independent Brigade Group for the duration of the war. It reverted to its original self and was looking after Calcutta in aid of civil authorities in 1972 after the war. Thereafter, it finally managed to be an integral part of 6 Mountain Division. This book is primarily addressed to the younger lot of officers, since at the brigade level small unit actions assume significance and bring out tactical lessons useful to the young officers. The author has made an endeavour to place the actions of the Brigade in its proper perspective by covering what was generally happening all around. This has been done in order to bring out that no actions are fought in isolation in a conventional warfare. In fact this may even be true for a nuclear war. This book, which is the only one of its kind as far as unit and sub-unit actions in Bangladesh were concerned, will be of interest to students of military history and to every unit of the Indian Armed Forces .
