Future of Land Warfare
The book deals with the future of land warfare on the Indian subcontinent. To predict the future is extremely difficult particularly in the field of Warfare. This is due to the fact that wars are impacted by doctrine, technology and people. Also, the introduction of nuclear weapons has made war less frequent and reduced the duration. There are trends which keep changing with the passage of time. Conflicts in the 21st century are short and swift with a combination of effects. Further aspirations of leaders often point towards different military objectives. In such a scenario we could plan at best for a decade and maybe visualise for about 15 years. By and large wars of the future will be conv...

CLAWS Journal: Vol. 13 No. 1 (2020): Summer 2020 While planning for the CLAWS Journal Summer Issue 2020 was in progress, the world was, and is continuing to fight a different battle altogether—‘a faceless enemy’ in the form of the COVID-19 pandemic.

All of these changing dynamics are noteworthy especially from a land warfare...
India and the Gulf
India’s relations with the Persian Gulf countries are often viewed from a narrow prism of energy, economy, and expatriates. However, since the beginning of the 21st century, with New Delhi’s Neo-West Asia policy, the region has gained more interest in the strategic communities. Emphasizing on the various aspects of security paradigm, this book covers both conventional and unconventional aspects of New Delhi’s overall security architecture with the Gulf region. It discusses the security dynamics that characterise the relationship between India and the Gulf nations. The subject matter in this book facilitates a holistic understanding of security paradigm in Indo-Gulf relations and provides a nuanced examination of the multifaceted aspects of security cooperation, challenges, and opportunities in this crucial geopolitical space.

Firepower 2030
Warfare quintessentially comprises Firepower and Manoeuvre. Terrain and the nuclear overhang restrict manoeuvre in our theatre of operations.The constituents of Firepower are platforms with ammunition, which can deliver from five dimensions; Land, Air, Surface of the sea, below the surface of the sea and possibly in times to come Outer Space. These are Small Arms, Guns, Mortars, Rockets of Artillery, Tanks, Aircrafts, Missiles, Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicles (UCAVs), Armed Helicopters, Submarines and in future possibly stations in Outer Space. The ammunition which is the payload is the most important element of Firepower. Combination of platforms with ammunition results in devastating Firep...
CHINA: Threat or Challenge?
ndian Defence Review (IDR) had earlier, in 2011, published a Book titled “Threat from China” edited by Late Bharat Verma. Team IDR felt that since May 2014 when the National Democratic Alliance government took over the reins of governance in India bringing in a more focussed, dynamic and assertive approach in conduct of its foreign relations, it was necessary to review the security paradigm between India and China. Moreover, around the same time there had been a tactile parallel change in leadership at the helm in China too. During the preliminary discussions there were strong views from a certain section of the community of academic scholars and diplomats that China was not an existenti...
