India's Wars and Warfare: A Perceptive Analysis
N. C. Asthana
,
A. Nirmal
This book, the first of its kind in the country, is indeed unique. This is the first book that, in a single cover, deals with all the wars of independent India, including the 1947-48 Kashmir war, the 1962 war with China and the three wars with Pakistan in 1956, 1971 and the Kargil war in 1999.
Objectivity is the hallmark of this book. Existing military histories are not only jingoistic, they also have a pronounced tendency to exalt certain personalities as military men have often suffered from the problem of constantly losing the macro picture in their obsession with the micro picture. Wars are not decided on the basis of individuals heroism and human stories fail to analyze the larger professionals issues pertaining to conduct of wars by nations. If the past is not analyzed objectively, the building of the future will be based on illusions and misplaced jingoism of a primitive variety instead of proven facts. In this work, the appeal is to reason, and not to sentiment. This book, for the first time, presents both sides of the story, that is, the enemy’s version also besides a neutral perspective.
This book presents a comprehensive analysis of what actually happened on the battlefronts according to the claims of both the sides; what were the strategies of both sides; what were the strategies of both sides; what were highlights of their tactics; why something happened; what went right; what went wrong; what could have been done and which was not done; who committed what mistakes; where luck helped; where luck did not help; where extraneous factors helped; where they did not help; what was the margin of chance; and what could have been done to avert what happened that was not done. The authenticity of the facts discussed in the book is evident from the 327 important references citied within and a formidable list of sources listed in the bibliography. ..more

India's Internal Security: The Actual Concerns
N. C. Asthana
,
A. Nirmal
Internal security is a frequently talked about and yet poorly understood thing. Surely, there must be some serious problems if the nation is spending a frightening amount, about one-fourth of the defence budget, on internal security. But what exactly they are, nobody seems to know. The people must understand and decide for themselves as to who really is a more serious threat to internal security—the Kashmiri who shouts at the top of his voice that he wants independence from India and shoots at us; the naxal who wants mining to be stopped in jungles and shoots at us; the Naga who wants independence from India and shoots at us; or the Muslim young man who wants to take revenge for some real or imaginary persecution and explodes a bomb in the market? This book analyzes all the possible threats to internal security—the Kashmir problem, Islamic terrorism, Lashkar-e-Taiyybah, Al Qaida, SIMI, Indian Mujahideen, HUJI, naxals, Khalistan supporters, and the north-eastern insurgent groups.
It also points out that the threat to internal security is often distorted because there are many vested interests involved. Organizations have their departmental interests—more funds, more powers, and staying relevant. Companies have a vested interest in selling useless gadgets to the police forces because there are thousands of crores of rupees to be spent in the name of modernization and internal security. This book shows that imaginary threats are being pursued whereas some real threats remain unaddressed.
This book presents a comprehensive study of what exactly should be understood by internal security both in terms of political theory as well as a legal perspective; what are the actual concerns of internal security; how the measures to maintain internal security must be addressed in a legally valid framework; and what are the legal issues involved in counterinsurgency operations. The purpose of this book is to address those ‘actual concerns’ which need to be addressed if we want to really address them. ..more

Indian Defence : Crisis and Challenges
N. C. Asthana IPS
,
A. Nirmal
An extremely exhaustive and comparative study of the armies; the armor; the artillery, the air forces; the navies; the missile forces; the nuclear weapons; ground warfare; air warfare; naval warfare; military doctrines and military might of India, Pakistan and China. All that matters on matters military is to be found in these pages. A rare insight into the subject of defence, and must read for lay men, students, media persons, policy-makers, and men of the armed forces.
Why this book is vital for all of us? Because you need to be enlightened. For most people defence has become synonymous with military hardware and we keep on spending on everything the military men ask for because nobody has the wisdom to question it.
Given the fact that a nuclear Pakistan would not let itself be defeated at any cost, and that the Chinese could nuke us for even tactical reasons, we must have a serious relook at the way we approach our defence concerns. Can the armed forces, in spite of Rs. 164,000 crore spent on them every year guarantee a decisive victory or a ‘solution of the Pakistan problem’? No!
This shocking book exposes the weak underbelly of India. India as a nation is mentally absolutely unprepared for fighting a war and enduring all its horrors. This book predicts that whether our armies are winning or taking a beating, the moment the war touches the Indians who matter (that is, the rich, the beautiful and the powerful), urban India would start buckling. The clarion call of the media and the opinion-builders would be ‘peace at any cost’ and they would suggest surrender even before the thought has crossed the mind of the adversary. In the end, Pakistan or China will not defeat you, your own TV channels and magazines will. That’s where the real military crisis of India lies. ..more

Terrorism and Anti-Terrorist Operations
N. C. Asthana IPS
,
A. Nirmal
Hundreds of thousands of the world’s best-equipped coalition troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have, in spite of their tremendous firepower and great technical resources, been finding the going tough against the Taliban. The Indians, in spite of facing various insurgencies and terrorism since 1954, have not been able to decisively eradicate anyone of them. This means that there is something fundamentally wrong with their strategy as well as tactics. The Indians have had neither strategy nor a scientific tactical doctrine of conducting anti-terrorist operations; that’s why they have been failing all the way.
This book is written for the illumination of the lay man; the media people; the policy-makers and the forces that seek to combat terrorism; and all those who would like to know why their governments and armed forces have been failing in eliminating terrorism for decades altogether. Nobody, no army, no staff college, no think tank in the whole world has ever produced such a comprehensive treatise on terrorism and anti-terrorist operations. The book has been so structured that the whole or parts of it can be independently expanded in the fashion of manuals so as to suit the specific needs of the armed forces.
CONTENTS: The book is divided into eight parts, namely, the phenomenon of terrorism; the dynamics of terrorist organizations; anti-terrorist operations in urban areas; in jungles and rural areas; threats from explosives, chemicals, biological agents and nukes; physical security; weaponry and training; and intelligence and interrogation. The 27 chapters of the book deal with many subjects that have hitherto been never discussed anywhere, including those on why some Muslims become terrorists; the mechanics of terrorists’ operational planning; fighting terrorists in a house; dealing with hostage crisis; jungle combat techniques; convoy security; ambushes; IEDs; landmines; suicide terrorism; camp defense; and the esoteric art of interrogation. ..more

Crime Against Women
R. A. P. Singh
In the men’s world women have exclusive existence. But this is a new perception. And the exclusive space is not only claimed, it is being acquired. Post-Modernity notion of equity is at the top of the feminist agenda. Apart from this equity programming, our concern is not less important if we take in to account which is popularly known as crime against women. Is it different from crime against men? Men commit crime against men but men look at women as a soft target, not only outside home and beyond, no wonder within home itself. Women are exploited intimately.
This book addresses macro sensitivity plus micro manifestation. With crime perspective the book is based on integral approach moving simultaneously towards rural and urban regions, higher and lower segments of women; those enjoying campus and those working in the field, those who are working in the office and those who are house-wives, those who are wage workers, those who are daughters and those who are daughter-in-laws. This provides ample raw data and direction for fresh research. ..more

Bioterrorism and Biological Warfare
A. L. Bhatia
,
S. K. Kulshreshtha
Keeping in view the risk involved and unpredictable and yet not estimated fully its damage, it becomes imperative that sufficient literature and information on Bioterrorism be available as there is still paucity of not only literature but also the interest of policy makers especially in Country like India. Hence, the present initiative of compiling invited chapters on Bioterrorism and Biological Warfare should fulfill the existing gap and provide authentic information. This book offers a rich dialogue of many opinions and different scientific dimensions of the bio-threats. It will assist actions such as coping with disaster or traumatic event, helping children and teens, information to responders, information for health professionals, information to states and planners and educational materials for public awareness may be developed to combat bio-terroristic events. The principles of biosurveillance are applicable to both man-made and natural epidemics. The use of agents that do not cause harm to humans but disrupt the economy such as foot and mouth disease have been witnessed in the 2001 and 2007 in the U. K. and henceforth would become more important. Clearly, there is a need to improve the ability to protect our citizens from potential bioterror threats, and to increase our capacity to deal with the medical and public health consequences of any future attacks. The book will be significant in the existing biotechnology and microbiology undergraduate and postgraduate courses. The book might also help in generating ideas of research in hitherto-ignored important areas of the bio-threat and biosurveillance fields. ..more

Urban Terrorism : Myths and Realities
N. C. Asthana IPS
,
A. Nirmal
Outrageous myths have been created and perpetrated about terrorism in general and terrorism by Muslims in particular. There are two reasons for it. One is, of course, genuine ignorance about things Islamic. The other reason is more sinister. Myths are created and perpetuated because that keeps everyone in business. By spinning yarns about the most horrible things the terrorists are capable of doing, the media ensures that they have a never-ending supply of sensational material with which to keep the people hooked—it also enables the intelligence agencies and security forces to appear more relevant and expand their turf in the process.
The myths must be busted because they tend to settle deep in the collective subconscious and ultimately come to influence policy decisions. The media, for example, would have you believe that we have not been able to eradicate terrorism only because we do not have enough commandos everywhere! The fact is that terrorism would not be finished by killing a few terrorists. Bomb blasts continue to take place in spite of the arrests of the ‘masterminds’. As long as we do not address the root cause, there would be many more willing to kill and get killed.
Victory against terrorism can be achieved only if you have completely understood the fundamental reasons of terrorism, the motivation of the terrorists, the intrinsic weaknesses of the targets, the innate strength of the ‘way of the terrorist’, and the follies of the approach that you have persisted with so far. If a nation has floundered in its ‘war against terrorism’, it is because it has never had a serious and honest-to-God analysis of terrorism. Hence this book.
Exhaustive yet attractive, informative yet interesting—and above all, extremely hard-hitting—it is the ultimate encyclopedia of terrorism. ..more

The Ultimate Book of Weapons
N. C. Asthana
,
Anjali Nirmal
This is a unique and most exhaustive encyclopedia of weapons of all kinds in a single volume—from swords to rifles; from tanks to fighter aircrafts; from nuclear submarines to ballistic missiles; from hydrogen bombs to biological warfare, everything is here. This book tells you not only all about weapons, their design, technology and designers, but also about the men who made them, the men who used them and the impact they made on the course of history.
Why do we need this book? Firstly, because such a book does not exist and secondly, because the fate of nations is still decided by their wars; that is, indirectly by their weaponry. Given men of similar competence on both sides, the quality of the weapons wielded by them will decide their fates! You got to know more about the existing weapons if you desire to produce better weapons in future. Hence this book!
A must read for everybody who is fascinated by weapons, and wants to know more about them, including all ‘men of arms’ namely, people in the armed forces, police and paramilitary forces, professional scientists, academicians and students who wish to learn about the technology of advanced things like nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. Also of immense use to media people because day in and day out they have to speak or write of all sorts of weaponry without having adequate knowledge about anyone of them—this is a reference which should be kept constantly at hand for absolutely authoritative information on any weapon system in the world.
The only affordable and complete encyclopedia of weaponry in the whole world—exhaustive yet attractive, informative yet interesting with 360 rare photographs, it is the ultimate encyclopedia of weaponry. ..more

India's Border Security : Challenges and Solutions
Dr. N.C. Asthana & Dr. Anjali Nirmal
If the borders of the country are not secure, it means that we will be struck repeatedly by terrorists infiltrating across the border and our own anti-national elements moving both ways. We also get massive illegal immigration and smuggling of various types of contraband including narcotics, arms and explosives, and counterfeit currency. Because of our incredibly diverse terrain, we need to apply more brains to the business of border management. Sadly, Indian security forces have gone about it in a most pedestrian manner, bereft of any application of mind. And that’s why, in spite of a frightful expenditure on our borders, we still keep on getting so frequent terrorist attacks committed by terrorists who cross the borders at will. You are also aware of the drug problem in Punjab. Obviously, there is something very seriously, very fundamentally wrong in their very approach to the elementary matter of border security.
The book provides an in-depth analysis of, among other things:
• India’s land borders with Pakistan, China, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bhutan, and Afghanistan;
• The fencing, border lighting, border outposts, and high-tech systems like laser walls, etc. thereon;
• Coastal and air security;
• Exhaustive comparative analysis of the systems adopted by India for guarding its borders with those adopted in the USA, Israel, and several European countries with their relative merits and demerits.
• What needs to be done to secure our borders properly.
Authenticated by a formidable array of 303 references, the book will be extremely useful to members of the security forces, policy-makers, researchers and students of defence studies and military science, academicians, and lay men alike.

Nuclear Weapons and International Security
N.C. Asthana IPS
,
Anjali Nirmal
Nuclear weapons are there to stay forever. Nations may keep on talking of disarmament, universal peace and development but still keep a fearsome inventory of nuclear weapons. The USA, even as its military power is unchallenged in the world, is still spending a whopping $ 1000 billion on the modernization of its nuclear weapons—other nations are bleeding themselves dry anyway. It is because no one can guarantee that nuclear weapons would never be used. Had that been the case, there was no point of keeping them in the first place!
No one should believe that whatever that is too horrible to think of cannot happen. This means that in future wars, nuclear weapons can indeed be used and we must be prepared for it. It is therefore imperative that we must analyze the subject of nuclear weapons and international security comprehensively in all its dimensions. This is what this book does.
The notions which you have derived from TV, films or popular articles are all wrong. This book, written by eminent scholars including a nuclear scientist, busts all the myths associated with the business of wars and nuclear weapons. In one cover, this book provides comprehensive and absolutely authentic information on the nuclear weapons and policies of North Korea, Israel, Iran, China, Pakistan, USA, Russia, England, France and India.
Indians, of all the people in the world, cannot afford to be not interested in nuclear weapons because we are surrounded by two hostile neighbours who are both nuclear powers. Hence whether you are a lay man; a student of military science, defence & strategic studies; a media person; a policy-maker; or in the armed forces, you must read this book so that you understand the dangers that we are facing. ..more

ISIS and Taliban : The Inside Story
N.C. Asthana
,
IPS
,
Anjali Nirmal
ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) and Taliban are almost daily in news. We must know everything about them because they are likely to expand their activities into India also. Already some 22 young, highly educated Indians have left the comforts of their homes to fight and get killed for the ISIS. Media provides only fragmented information, making people harbour all sorts of myths. This book tells you everything including:
· What they are; what is their ideology; what is their objective; why are they opposed to the West;
· What are they doing; what atrocities they are committing; how do they treat women;
· What explains their appeal which makes people leave their homes and travel thousands of miles to fight for them;
· What is Wahabism/Salafism; what is meant by jihad and the jihadists; what is radicalization and de-radicalization; what is the role of the madarsas with regard to terrorism;
· How do they get their arms and armament; how do they get the funds they need and how the world can disrupt those sources;
· How the Western world and the USA have made a mess of the Middle-East and the Syrian Civil War;
· How the Taliban are making a comeback even after 16 years of relentless bombing by the Americans; what are the prospects of a Taliban victory;
· And finally, can the world expect to get rid of the ISIS and Taliban or, are they here to stay?
Whether you are a lay man, a student, a homemaker, a media person, a policy-maker, or a man in the armed forces, the comprehensive knowledge contained within the pages of this book will ensure that when the need arises, we may respond in a correct manner.

Intelligence is vital to national security. Had our intelligence and security services been doing their job well, the country would not have been in the mess it is.

This book, for the first time in the world, presents a brilliant study of what intelligence is, how best it can be procured, what it can do, what are its limitations, and how to use it so that policies are based on sober analyses instead of kneejerk reactions. ..more

Naxalism and Anti-Naxal Operations : Why the Nation has Been Failing
Anjali Nirmal
Naxalism has been described by the prime minister as the single biggest threat to the internal security of this country. The country has deployed about 1.5 lakh soldiers for combating the menace of naxalism. We are spending well over Rs. 5000 crore every year on anti-naxal operations. Yet, more than 6000 people have died in naxal-related violence since 2005. The naxals may be less than 20000 in numbers but they have managed to defy the might of the nation for 47 years! Obviously, something is very seriously wrong in our understanding of naxalism and also our approach to tackling it. This book analyzes both issues and shows how best to deal with naxalism.
This is the most comprehensive book on naxalism and anti-naxal operations. This book provides you, among other things, a complete overview of:
· History of the naxal movement
· Organization of the CPI (Maoist)
· The naxals’ strategy, tactics and other activities
· The lack of a doctrine of counterinsurgency in India
· The reality of anti-naxal operations and why they have been failing
· Intelligence failure
· Unaddressed legal issues related to counterinsurgency
· Government response to naxalism and its shortcomings
· Popular misconceptions about naxalism
· Suggestions on how to make anti-naxal operations more effective
Because most of the people do not have any idea of naxalism or anti-naxal operations, there is no public pressure to make correct policies. Whether you are a lay man, a student, a media person, a policy-maker, or a man in the armed forces, this book will educate you on what the naxal problem is, why something must be done for it, why something else should not be done, and what is wrong with that is being done.

Later Mughals : Their Decline and British Ascent
N. C. Asthana IPS
,
Anjali Nirmal
This is hitherto the most comprehensive book on later Mughals, their decline and the rise of the British power in India. Textbooks of medieval and modern history usually devote just a couple of chapters to the later Mughals. On the other hand, the books of the 19th century British scholars are basically in the form of one long narrative—more as vast collections of stories, incidents and trivial details rather than analyses. The usual textbooks not only lack in detail; they make no attempt at analysis of the historical and military factors that were responsible for the developments. This book addresses the shortcomings of both—textbooks as well as the reference works of past.
Covering the entire period from the death of Aurangzeb to the Mutiny of 1857, it contains, amongst other things, a vast quantity of material on:
· Role of Aurangzeb in the decline of the Mughal empire
· Bahadur Shah I
· The Rajput and Sikh revolts
· Jahandar Shah; Farrukhsiyar and the Sayyid brothers
· Muhammad Shah and the Nizam-ul-Mulk
· The rise of the Marathas
· The invasion of Nadir Shah
· Mughal emperor Ahmad Shah and the invasions of Ahmad Shah Abdali
· Alamgir II and Shah Alam II
· The Third Battle of Panipat
· Armies of the later Mughals
· Various reasons of the decline of the Mughal empire
· The East India Company, its wars and exploitation
· The 1857 Mutiny; reasons of occurrence and analysis of critical battles
· Bahadur Shah Zafar
This book will be immensely useful to students of history, research scholars, professors, media persons and even lay men interested in the history of a critical period of our nation.

Historic Battles of India : A Study in Military Science
N. C. Asthana IPS
,
Anjali Nirmal
India has a very long history of wars and warfare. Our kings and badshahs were always dressed with a sword and habitually fought with their neighbours almost every year. Still, quite ironically, they could never achieve any high standard in the art of war. When foreign invaders came, they almost always lost to them. The history of India would have been different had we not lost at the hands of Arab invaders, Muhammad Ghori, the Mughals, Nadir Shah, Abdali and the British.
We must know what was wrong with our military system? Why did we lose repeatedly at the hands of invaders? This question must agitate the mind of every Indian, whether a student of military history and science or a lay man. This book answers all these questions and more. It covers all the important battles of India in the ancient, medieval and modern periods, including:
• Mauryan age
• Gupta age
• Arab invasions
• Mahmud Ghaznavi and Muhammad Ghori
• Sultanate period
• Mughal Empire
• Marathas
• East India Company
• Mutiny of 1857
It is the most exhaustive book on military history and science in the whole world. Anything that is important in the history of India from a military angle is to be found here. This book covers an unprecedented 103 historic battles starting from Alexander’s invasion and ending with the battles of the Mutiny. These were the battles that changed the course of our history and shaped our destiny.
Written in a most lucid and interesting style and extensively illustrated and authenticated by a formidable array of references of 759 authorities, this book is immensely useful as a reference work to students of history, military science, research scholars, academicians, media persons and even lay men interested in the history of our nation. ..more

Disaster Management
N. C. Asthana IPS
,
Priyamvada Asthana
Disaster management is a relatively new subject in India. Our record in disaster management has been far from satisfactory. Whether it is earthquakes, floods, flash floods, cyclones, drought, industrial disaster like the Bhopal gas tragedy, or outbreak of various types of epidemics, we almost invariably end up with massive loss of lives and property. The memories of the Uttarakhand floods, the cyclones in Orissa, floods in Bihar, the Bhuj earthquake, and the 2004 tsunami are still fresh in our memory.
This exhaustive book covers, among other things, the following in great detail:
· Fundamentals of disaster management
· Disaster mitigation measures; disaster preparedness; response to disasters; and recovery from disasters
· Disaster emergency medical care
· Search and rescue operations
· Indian government’s approach and systems for disaster management
· Various types of disasters and measures to deal with them including cyclones; earthquakes; floods; tsunamis; droughts and famines; railway accidents; health-related disasters and various outbreaks like dengue, Japanese encephalitis, and avian flu; mining accidents; industrial disasters including nuclear reactor and chemical plant accidents; aircraft accidents; war-related disasters; landslides; avalanches; and wildfires etc.
This book provides detailed practical advice on the techniques and equipment which you would not find in any other book on disaster management. Drawing from the examples and best practices in the world, it will enable individuals, organisations and governments to know what they ought to do for preventing disasters and coping with them; what equipment they should have; what preparation they should make, and how they must employ them. Every citizen of this country must read this book so that he is better prepared for coping with any type of disaster.

Terrorism, Insurgencies and Counterinsurgency Operations
N. C. Asthana IPS
,
Anjali Nirmal
It presents an exhaustive analysis of terrorism in Kashmir, the North-Eastern states and Punjab besides left-wing terrorism. We find a revealing expose of the machinations of the ISI and the threat of pan-Islamic fundamentalism. The authors show that ad hoc responses in the nature of fire-fighting do not lead us anywhere. That is why, in spite of having killed thousands of terrorism that deals and arrested several times more, we are still nowhere near controlling terrorism that defines a political, police or military solution. Here the authors develop a comprehensive strategy for counterinsurgency, followed by an enunciation of the crucial tactical concepts that will ensure victory in our war against terrorism. ..more
