The Himalaya, which is a great natural frontier for India,
symbolises India's spiritual and national consciousness. The
Himalayan region displays wide diversity of cultural patterns,
languages, ethnic identities and religious practices. Along the
Himalayas converge the boundaries of South and Central Asian
countries, which lend a unique geopolitical and geo-strategic
importance to this region. This book provides a comprehensive
analysis of historical, geo-political and strategic perspectives on
the Himalayan Frontiers of India. Drawing on detailed analyses by
academics and area specialists, it explains the developments in and
across the Himalayas and their implications for India. Topics such
as religious extremism, international and cross border terrorism,
insurgency, drugs and arms trafficking are discussed by experts in
their respective field. Himalayan Frontiers of India will be of
interest to scholars in South and Central Asian studies,
International Relations and Security Studies.
