The Soldier and the State in India is one of the first attempts at
offering a theoretical perspective for examining some of the most
critical issues that have emerged in Indian civil-military
relations. It specifically examines issues pertaining to military
expertise and military professionalism that emerged whenever there
was a contestation in civil-military functions, thereby allowing
the military greater influence in policy-making. The book uses
Samuel Huntington's ideas on military professionalism and Peter
Feaver's discussion of military expertise in the American context
as the theoretical framework for addressing similar issues that
have emerged in debates on Indian civil-military relations.
Moreover, it also includes a serious focus on the role of the
Indian military in counterinsurgency operations and the impact of
Indian nuclear strategy on the relationship between civilians and
the military in India. Most books on the subject have failed to
address issues that emerge when there is a contestation in
civil-military functions; this book seeks to fill that gap.
