Indian Military Thought KURUKSHETRA to KARGIL and Future Perspectives
The title aspires to present a panorama of India’s yet to be fully discovered martial heritage, denoted by its unconquerable ancient epoch, a critique of the generally misread medieval age vicissitudes, followed by a survey of the contemporary & post-independence travails and triumphs.

These borders are still in dispute today. It also pr...
