Summary/Abstract |
India is the world largest democracy, the second most populous nation, one of the fastest growing economies, the fourth largest armed forces in the world and universally acknowledged to be an emerging global power. In 2010 joint study by the US National Intelligence Council and the European Union declared it as the world's third most powerful nation to the pleasant yet some disbelief of even a number of Indians! Yet India's progress and prosperity, it human development indices and the wide spectrum of security challenges confronting it, both internal and external, appear as varied and telling as the endemic diversity of India's demographic, social linguistic, religious, character and content besides a lack in economic inclusiveness or an equitable growth pattern. While millions are racing up the ladder of affluence, many more still live in sub-Sahara like conditions in abject poverty.

Summary/Abstract |
The crown of India, the divinely beautiful and immensely strategic state of Jammu and Kashmir since its tumultuous accession to the Indian union in 1947, displayed at times, the pangs of an uneasy existence with the secular, liberal and generous environs of the parent nation. That is abiding emotional integration to Mother India, is still wanting in some spheres, even after 66 years of togetherness, is hardly a tribute to India's and the state's political leadership or governance notwithstanding the countless sacrifices made, monumental aid and resources invested for the security and development of India's restive northernmost state. That India's ever belligerent neighbor, Pakistan has left no stone unturned or any machination in the book to fan separatism in J&K which is considers its jugular vein is hardly surprising. In the globally troubled times of today, Pakistan and some others in the world forget that India is home to the third largest population in the world and thus J&K is not a mere symbol of India's secularism but its prime guarantee.

Summary/Abstract |
Since time immemorial, the art and science of Intelligence remains an irreplaceable and a central constituent of statecraft. Unquestionably, it is also the first line of defence for a nation and if prudently utilised, a veritable force-multiplier. Among most nations, whenever a security catastrophe, a cataclysmic event or even a major geopolitical setback occurs, opprobrium is heaped on its intelligence set-ups even though such failures could be attributable, among other factors, to systemic shortcomings, faulty analyses, sheer negligence and/or leadership failures within the nation. Though lapses in intelligence acquisition and analyses may result in glaring security shortfalls and grave national embarrassment, on the other hand intelligence successes, normally, cannot be publicly acknowledged as “the practitioners of the art of intelligence have to be silent warriors for there is no place for drum-beating in the business of Intelligence.”
