This is a period-specific study extending from 1986 to 1999. The
year 1986 was selected because that year India conducted two
military exercises-"Operation Brasstacks" on the western border and
"Operation Chequerboard" on the Himalayan heights. Pakistan misread
the first operation and both countries were on the verge of another
war. On the eastern front India had to face China's military power
projection when Chinese forces intruded into the Sumdurong Chu
valley, compelling India to deploy her mountain division on the
Sikkim heights. However, the situations were contained, without
needless sabre-rattling. Thus, the emanating threat perceptions
made it imperative for India to enhance its defence expenditure and
capital investment. Reality was contrary to prevailing perceptions.
The Book establishes that aggravation of military threats to the
security of a nation does not necessarily result in increased
expenditure on arms purchase by that country; to reverse the same
proposition, a decline in expenditure on arms purchase by a country
does not necessarily mean an attenuation of the existing military
threats perceived by that country.
