Publisher: Gurgaon Penguin Random House India 2018Description: xxxiii, 410p.ISBN: 9780670090686.Subject(s): Military Science -- National Security -- International Relation -- IndiaDDC classification: 355.033054 Summary: In this authoritative and comprehensive survey of the challenges a changing global security environment poses to India, former deputy national security advisor Arvind Gupta outlines the important aspects of the country's security apparatus and how they interface to confront internal and external conflicts. We have today the turbulent Middle East to the west; a rising and assertive China to the north; Pakistan in the grip of the military and the militants across our border and an increasingly militarizing Indian Ocean region surrounding us. Arvind Gupta draws on his long experience in these areas to argue that instead of tactical remedies, a strategic, coherent, institutional approach is needed to deal with these challenges. Strengthening the National Security Council, for instance, could be one way forward. How India Manages Its National Security explains with great clarity and thoroughness the concept and operation of India's national security apparatus.
