Author Description

As the global order undergoes tectonic shifts and the boundaries between war and peace, diplomacy and coercion, technology and doctrine increasingly blur, this volume brings clarity, depth, and vision. It captures the breadth of India's strategic challenges and opportunities--reimagining its global role, reinforcing internal resilience through inclusive governance, countering adversarial alignments, recalibrating regional engagement, navigating the emerging digital battlefield, and transforming defence capabilities for future warfare.
