Paperback. Condition: New. Large Print. Language: English. Brand new Book. The place wasn't far - a couple of hours drive. I wrapped some cheese sandwiches in foil, took a flask of coffee and was on my way. I got there in two hours and found the room easily. There was a villager with sweat staining his underarm standing watching my progress up the path to the house; he had both hands on his hips and a cocky expression. "There no one here." he said sharply and a bit accusingly. Where did they go? I asked "I don't know." He looked sullen, "they not paid my rent. Who going to pay rent?" he asked belligerently. "I seeing them go at 6 o'clock. They go in taxi not paying me. I know'd I should asked for advance rent.they don't look right to me. I think they was not married, they said they was. He always squeezing her bottom - married chaps don't do that. My father kill me if I don't have rent." How much is it? "You going to pay? You related to them?" Just tell me how much it is? "Well they was going to stay just for short days, the rent higher. It's always higher for little days - you ask anybody. Had them stayed for a month or more I charge them the normal rent 12 Rupees a day. And I telled them that it be 15 Rupees daily and they is agreed. How I to know they go away not pay me? Could be plan they made in mind- to go not paying me? So if I said 17 Rupees they must agreed as they plan to run without paying ." Look, just tell me how much rent they owe you, how many days were they here? "They here three days, but I can give you rebate if you going to pay me for all three days. I'll give you rebate one Rupee a day. there! So you can take three rupees from forty-five and give me forty-two. I think that reasonable. But you want more, you speak to my father." I slapped a fifty rupee note in his hand and told him to keep the change and walked away quickly before he had time to blink an eye or close his wide open mouth.

Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. India is poised to play a significant role in the 21st century multipolar world. The fulcrum of geostrategic power play is shifting towards the East, where China and India together account for more than one third of humanity and more than a quarter of global trade. Security threats abound in the contemporary world, which could either be overt or covert, and may manifest in the external or internal dimensions. They may be from hostile States or non-State actors, and could be military or economic or both. The scourge of terrorism and radicalization has now diffused widely like a hydra-headed monster. Threats to Nations' Internal security are therefore more devious and worrisome than external aggression. Hence, security against the wide array of threats also has to be multi-dimensional to cover all bases. In the emerging geopolitical environment, it is imperative that India takes a holistic view of all the challenges in its internal and external dimensions. It needs to urgently evolve a coherent National Security Doctrine and strategy to meet those challenges effectively. The National Security Paradigm proposed in the book is a comprehensive conceptual model that integrates all dimensions in the Nation's internal and external environments that have a bearing on National security. Although the model can be applied generically, it has been adapted to India's context. Based on it, an in-depth anaysis is carried out of all the elements that impact India's security. Internal security has been analyzed through the prisms of National will and ethos; Political stability and morality; Social cohesion; Economic strength with inclusive growth; and Integrity of institutions. Based on a comprehensive review of the Global geopolitical environment, India's external threats are analyzed under the dimensions of National Security Doctrine and strategy, Military power, Defence budget, Military-industrial complex, Foreign policy and Soft power. Internal stability, social cohesion and inclusive growth, along with a strong National ethos provide the strong foundation that boosts India's strength and capability to ward of all external challenges. Citizens and Soldiers are together in this mission to make India strong internally as well as against external threats. Together they are keeping India's tryst with destiny.
