ABOUT THE BOOK
fjrigjwwe9r0pp_Books:Description
The spotlight is suddenly on India Paramilitary and Central
Armed Police Forces (CAPFs). There are huge, varied, nuanced national security
challenges at India doorsteps. Some of these challenges have confronted India
for as long as its independence, if not earlier. Some have evolved over decades
to now peak into criticalities viz, the Naxalite menace and the China Pakistan
two front threat, where for the first time, both of India neighbours have
joined hands in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. India PMF and CAPF, therefore, are
now the pivot and lodestar of India counter to its gargantuan national security
challenges.
This book, is not only relevant to the times but is an
argument for the PMF and CAPF to sharpen and hone its skills for it to perform
the role it is cut out to. With key recommendations and analysis, the author
charts out clear road maps for each constituent of the PMF and CAPF in better
execution of their tasks in these critical times.
The PMF and CAPF, today, occupy India national security
landscape. It has to become a viable national security instrument to enable its
armed forces to provide deterrence to a rising China, increasingly cohorting
militarily with Pakistan. Will the PMF and CAPF be the phalanx it is meant to
be?
