Summary/Abstract |
Sub-conventional conflict in India primarily constitutes internal armed conflict with or without external involvement. The media plays a significant role: it reports the news, thus fulfilling the people's right to information, and it holds the government and its forces accountable. The media has a complex relationship with the army and dissident forces. Both the dissident forces and the army want to use the media: the former for publicity and the latter to keep the people informed of various developments in the campaign.

Summary/Abstract |
Defence R&D is known to be a mission oriented activity comprising both basic and applied research, which involves development and fabrication, as well as testing of new weapons and weapon systems. The need today at the world level is project -based intensive R&D, so as to come up with high quality items even if it means a slight compromise on quantity. India is also in the churning process of deciding what the priorities should be.

Summary/Abstract |
The modern trend in supply chain offer the systematic approach to both suppliers and buyers and cut down time for cost-effective business practices. The procurement in defence must be better-technology-based rathar than cost competitiveness. We have to find out and acquire the best technology available rather than just opt for Indianisation that can be developed simultaneously.

Summary/Abstract |
The American policy towards Kashmir dispute has been inconsistent: from active efforts to resolve the dispute in the 1950s and 1960s, to benign neglect in the 1970s, to a more proactive approach during the early Clinton peiod, to a more nuanced but hands-off approach subsequently. The US policy on Kashmir has changed because the US approach in Kashmir has changed, from attempting to solve the complicated dispute, a broad approach, to ensuring that the conflict over Kashmir does not lead to instability and war in the region, a more narrow approach.

Summary/Abstract |
Stable peace in Afghanistan is still a distant dream. The Taliban has been a thorn in the flesh in its along the Durand Line, especially in Waziristan and Federally Administered Triab Areas (FATA). Al Qaeda has driven into the hills on both sides of the border. Iraq appears to have stabilised after the surge operations, the fresh conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Authority in Gaza has come to an end, and relations between India and Pakistan have taken a nosedive after the Mumbai attacks.

Summary/Abstract |
Conduct of a peace process is too complex an affair to be left to any organ of the state. Bureaucrats are required to take care of technical aspects of an issue. When they are stuck, the political bosses have to take decisions of break the logjam, and very often, exercise leadership to garner public support.

Summary/Abstract |
The aim ot this paper is to examine the Kargil Was a landmark limited conflict that was fought against a nuclear backdrop in South Asia. Kargil, therefore, is very important for the crystallisation of a new Limited War Doctrine that would be more pertinent and specific to the Asian context in general and the South Asian context in particular.

Summary/Abstract |
Kargil 1999 was more than a localized limited war with short-term consequences. Pakistan's aim in Kargil was quite clearly to force the Indians to operate from a position of weakness by cutting off the strategic links to Leh.

Summary/Abstract |
In terms of resources, we were short of critical equipment which was made up as the operations progressed. However, I would like to highlight the innovativeness of my staff, which used their ingenuity in making up the critical shortages of support weapons, ammunition and equipment by pooling in the resources of battalions that were not going immediately into battle.

Summary/Abstract |
Kargil war was a limited war; the first of its kind after the Indo-Pak nuclear weapons tests and the Lahore Declaration. It has now become a more likely operational norm in the strategic environment where large scale capture of terrotories, forced change of regimes, and extensive military damage on the adversary are ruled out politically. It was not the first when Pakistan initiated a war; and we must no assume that it would be the last time.

Summary/Abstract |
The aim of this paper is to identify and analyse the real and imaginary moral erosion in the armed forces. One clearly cannot purport to glibly prescribe a vague general ethic for the armed forces. Yet the need for overall moral and ethical standards and adherence to institutional values in glaringly obvious.

Summary/Abstract |
Since the creation of Pakistan successive governments in Islamabad have sought with varying degrees of intensity to destabilize India, wreck its unity and challenge its integrity. Though the situation in Kargil has stabilized due to the deployment of 8 Mountain Division, India must remain on guard against more such sinister operations being launched by the vengeful and devious military leadership of Pakistan with a hate-India mindset and the mentality of primitive warlords.

Summary/Abstract |
Pakistani writings on the Kargil conflict have been few and, those that have come out, largely irrelevant and, in a few cases, clearly sponsored. The role of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has been discussed off and on, but mostly disparagingly, particularly in some uninformed quarters. Here is an airman's perspective, focusing on the Indian Air Force's air operations and the PAF's position.

Summary/Abstract |
The Chinese Concept of informatized warfare is the outcome of this transformation in the nation's mode of thinking. Traditional and mechanised methods of thoughts no longer work in an integrated and systems-oriented environment characterised by rapidly changing time-space relationships. As a result, the strategic focus of the transformation is on changing the style of thinking, introducing innovation in operational theory according to one source.

Summary/Abstract |
The truth is that the Pakistani security still treats India and its own nationalists as the biggest threat. Perennially fearful of India's presence in Afghanistan, the Pakistani establishment feels it not only needs the Taliban but even nurtures them just as it nurtured elements like the Punjabi Lashkar-e Tayyeba in Kashmir.

Summary/Abstract |
One does not have to labour too much over the fact that South Asia is the poorest region in the world with the greatest incidence of poverty, and is just ahead of a handful of Sub-Saharan African countries like Chad and Burkina Faso. South Asia also has the highest density of population against the great killers of mankind like Malaria and HIV.
