As she charts her destiny in lifting her masses from poverty and
backwardness, India is also obliged to ward off incessant military
aggression from her two near, and most inimical neighbours.
Resultantly, she is compelled to spend as much as Rupees three
hundred thousand crores annually from her overburdened national
income to maintain the world's third largest defence forces. In
normal course of state wisdom therefore, one would expect that such
a humungous investment would be managed in the most efficient
manner to get the maximum purchase out of every paisa. But alas,
that is not the case. What else could explain the contradiction
that even with so much manpower, hardware and funding committed
upon her military power, none of her adversaries are deterred from
perpetrating acts of gross military escalation while indulging in
brazen acts of sabotaging the Indian nationhood - freely and with
immunity. It is also hard to explain as to why must India's massive
defence forces have to be left short of their due war wherewithal,
burdened with obsolete weaponry and hardware, and saddled with
overgrown and over-frigid organisations for higher (mis)management.
The answer is straightforward: the Indian military institution is
inefficiently managed. The long festering flaw is observed,
understood and enthusiastically banished now and then, but
corrections are never actually attempted. Solutions are known, more
or less, but are held down, diverted and scotched by systemic
prejudices, paranoia and partisan machinations, as if by design.
The causes of such afflictions too are no secret: political apathy,
bureaucratic subterfuge and to some extent, myopic military
leadership.This book is devoted to arguments for empowerment of the
apex military management system, identification of the hurdles,
redress of systemic concerns valid or conjured, and goes on to
offer certain options to modernise the system of Indian defence
management into an operationally efficient political instrument
that would promote the cause of India's sovereignty in a
cost-effective manner.
