India has the world's fourth largest military and one of the
biggest defence budgets. It asserts its political and military
profile in South Asia and the Indian Ocean region. The nation has
been in the midst of an ambitious plan to modernize its largely
Soviet-era arms since the late 1990s and has spent billions of
dollars on latest high-tech military technology. This handbook:
canvasses over 60 years of Indian defence policy and the major
debates that have shaped it; discusses several key themes such as
the origins of the modern armed forces in India; military doctrine
and policy; internal and external challenges; and nuclearization
and its consequences; includes contributions by well-known
scholars, experts in the field and policymakers; and provides an
annotated bibliography for further research. Presented in an
accessible format, this lucidly written handbook will be an
indispensable resource for scholars and researchers of security and
defence studies, international relations and political science, as
well as for government think tanks and policymakers.
