Book Synopsis Transition to Eminence by : G. M. Hiranandani
Download or read book Transition to Eminence written by G. M. Hiranandani and published by Lancer Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of the navy's history covers the period from 1976 to 1990. It examines the navy's success in keeping abreast of advances in technology in step with progressive self-reliance. In a decade and a half of innovation, the navy equipped its indigenously built frigates, corvettes, and other vessels with combinations of the latest available weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union, from Europe, and from indigenous sources. A tiny "ship design cell," which in 1965 was designing yard craft, was by 1990 designing an aircraft carrier, submarines, and missile destroyers. The new acquisitions from the Soviet Union ranged from missile destroyers, conventional submarines, and long-range reconnaissance aircraft, to minesweepers. All these high-tech inductions needed to be operated and manned by better-educated and better-trained personnel. New maintenance, repair, and refit facilities had to be created. The increase in the volume of spares and the diversity of sources compelled modernization of the logistics system. This volume analyzes how these problems were tackled.

Download or read book Transition to Triumph written by G. M. Hiranandani and published by Lancer. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the Indian Navy covers the period 1965 to 1975. Several major developments occurred during this decade. The Soviet Union started meeting the Navy's requirements. The latest design of the Royal Navy's Leander class frigates started being produced in Mazagon Docks with British collaboration. The first submarine arrived in 1968 and by 1975, the Submarine Arm had grown to eight submarines. The Air Arm was augmented by additional Seahawks, Alizes and the latest British Seaking anti submarine helicopters equipped with dunking sonar. Along with the induction of modern fire control systems in ships, submarines and aircraft, the Navy acquired its first guided missiles and homing torpedoes. During the 1971 Indo Pakistan War, the audacious missile boat attacks on Karachi, the Naval Air Arm's sustained attacks on Chittagong and Cox's Bazar and the extensive contraband control in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea enabled the respective Fleets to dominate the seaward approached to the Western and Eastern wings of Pakistan. The sinking of the Pakistani submarine GHAZI outside Visakhapatnam harbor, the torpedoing of the Indian frigate KHUKRI, the amphibious operation near Cox's Bazar and the foray of the American Navy's ENTERPRISE Task Group in the Indian Ocean are some the events which have been analyzed in depth.

Book Synopsis The Rise of the Indian Navy by : Harsh V. Pant
Download or read book The Rise of the Indian Navy written by Harsh V. Pant and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian Navy has gradually emerged as an indispensable tool of Indian diplomacy in recent years, making it imperative for Indian policy-makers and naval thinkers to think anew the role of the nation’s naval forces in Indian strategy. There is a long tradition in India of viewing the maritime dimension of security as central to the nation’s strategic priorities. With India's economic rise, India is trying to bring that focus back, making its navy integral to national grand strategy. This volume is the first full-length examination of the myriad issues that have emerged out of the recent rise of Indian naval power.
Book Synopsis A Military History of India since 1972 by : Arjun Subramaniam
Download or read book A Military History of India since 1972 written by Arjun Subramaniam and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Military History of India since 1972 is a definitive work of military history that gives the Indian military its rightful place as a key contributor to Indian democracy. Arjun Subramaniam offers an engaging narrative that combines superb storytelling with the academic rigor of deep research and analysis. It is a comprehensive account of India’s resolute, responsible, and restrained use of force as an instrument of statecraft and how the military has played an essential role in securing the country’s democratic tradition along with its rise as an economic and demographic power. This book is also about how the Indian nation-state and its armed forces have coped with the changing contours of modern conflict in the decades since 1972. These include the 2016 “surgical” or cross-border strikes by the Indian Army’s Special Forces across the line of control with Pakistan, the face-off with the Chinese at Doklam in 2017 and in Ladakh in 2020, the preemptive punitive strikes by the Indian Air Force against terrorist camps in Pakistan in 2019, and the large-scale aerial engagement between the Indian Air Force and the Pakistan Air Force the following day. These conflicts also include the long-running insurgencies in the northeast, terrorism and proxy war in Jammu and Kashmir, separatist violence in Punjab, and the Indian Peacekeeping Force’s intervention in Sri Lanka. The author also includes a chapter on the development of India’s nuclear capabilities. Arjun Subramaniam enlivens the narrative with a practitioner’s insights amplified by interviews and conversations with almost a hundred serving and retired officers, including former chiefs from all three armed forces, for an in-depth exploration of land, air, and naval operations. The structure of the book offers readers a choice of either embarking on a comprehensive and chronological examination of war and conflict in contemporary India or a selective reading based on specific time lines or campaigns.

Book Synopsis India's Military Strategy by : S. Kalyanaraman
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 Transition to Guardianship written by Hiranandani G. M. and published by Lancer Publishers LLC. This book was released on 2010-01-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume Transition to Guardianship: The Indian Navy 1991-2000 is the last of the trilogy by the author, the first two being Transition to Triumph: 1965-75 and Transition to Eminence 1975-1990, portraying the history of the Indian navy on a wide canvas covering thirty-five years. The period 1991-2000 was a challenging time due to the sweeping changes on the geopolitical and economic fronts. In the wake of the Gulf War, the world witnessed the specter of spiraling inflation due to a hike in oil prices. The unprecedented spike stunned the defense budgets, which called for extraordinary abilities to cope with grim circumstances in the face of limited funding for defense projects. It was a time of trial for the navy as it was called upon to do much more with much less. The situation was aggravated with the disintegration of the USSR, India's biggest defense supplier.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifteenth century was one of the most tragic and fateful centuries in the history of the Jewish people. It was the century which not only sealed the fate of Sephardic Jewry in the Iberian Peninsula, but also marked the turning point in the historical development of Ashkenazic Jewry from its centre in Germany to Poland and eastern Europe. Rabbi Dr. Bernard Rosensweig utilizes the life and times and works of Rabbi Jacob Weil and his contemporaries in order to give us an intimate picture of Ashkenazic Jewry in this age of transition. Through these original sources, we are exposed to the social, cultural, economic and political structure of the Jewish community, and its relationship to the civil authority and the Church.
