Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Recent years have seen a steady decline in budgets committed to India s military modernisation. The authors of this book state that India needs a national security strategy grounded in its reality, rather than aspirations. Hard Times is an important collection that suggests ways out of the country s strategic predicament Since the mid 1990s, Indian thinking on national security has been based on the assumption that the country would progress on a growth trajectory sufficient to modernise its defence capacities--and thereby enable some form of parity with a rising China. The reality has been otherwise. China spectacular growth and accompanying military modernisation has hugely outpaced that of India. The Indian military modernisation has moved fitfully. In the past several years, budgets have committed less than 2 per cent of GDPthe lowest levels since the war of 1962 for the military. Even if spending were to rise to 3 per cent, little funding would be available for modernisation after allowing for rising pensions, salaries and other components of the budget. Put simply, the authors state, India needs a national security strategy for hard times. It would be a strategy grounded in reality--India's priority has to remain the raising of vast numbers of its people out of abject poverty, even if the strategies of countries like China and the US, economically more developed, can aim at being lobal powers. Hard Times is an important collection that highlights the major challenges India confronts and the ways they can be tackled, especially in the light of the upheavals caused by the COVID pandemic. It's contributors include former military officers whose views have helped shape discussions on strategy, including Admiral Arun Prakash and Lt Gen. D.S. Hooda, as well as commentators like Dr Sanjaya Baru. Experience tells us that In war, it's often the smarter side that wins, not the stronger one. , that wins. These essays seek to point us in that direction. Seller Inventory # 146780
