The security of its territory and that of its people is the single most important function of a nation-state. Unless a nation is pro-active in fulfilling this function, other nation-states, as also non-state forces will be encouraged to harm at the security foundations of the neglected state. Accordingly, the subject of territorial integrity has been debated in public domain for quite a long time in our country and the government is now very much concerned to ensure national security from external threats. Ensuring the sanctity of our borders, it has now also, become imperative that we give unequivocal attention to the internal security of our country. The multifaceted dimensions of internal threats like terrorism, left-wing extremism, insurgency in the North-East, communal riots etc. etc. to our nationhood are on the increase in recent years. It is a much bigger game of encircling India and not let it emerge as the world power. All these disturbing issues have been discussed thread bare in the book. The chapters by well learned personalities in the field are very well written, very informative and sometimes provocative. It is a must read for the academic community, defence professionals and civilian analysts engaged in shaping national security policy.
