This book is primarily an effort to study the phenomenon called
insurgency that has been posing a huge challenge to the internal
security of the country. Though a wealth of literature on the
subject already exists, a need was felt to analyse the multiple
facets of insurgency as no country barring India has witnessed this
endemic for a prolonged period. The subject is so vast and dynamic
that no strait-jacketed solution can be prescribed to curb this
menace overnight. However, an attempt has been made to analyse this
phenomenon and prescribe remedial antidotes. The author has
attempted to capture the origin of insurgency which dates back to a
late 18th century, and study various causes and numerous factors
that fuel it. In addition, he has also attempted to study the
doctrines and strategies, with special emphasis on both Islamic
insurgency and other forms of uprisings in the country that
continue to pose challenges to the Indian security environment.
Owing allegiance to his uniform, the author has also attempted to
bring out the role of air power in counter- insurgency operations.
The penultimate chapter deals with shaping a viable
counter-insurgency strategy and spells out the essential
parameters, principles and pitfalls of such a strategy. The chapter
also dwells on the political aim and the importance of a
socio-economic turnabout to scale down insurgency. The use of
calibrated force rather than brutal armed suppressive methods is
advocated. Will insurgencies ever end? This lingering question is
discussed in the final chapter and certain essential strategies,
both military and non-military, are spelt out which would provide
occasions and opportunities to forge a lasting solution to
insurgency in India.
