Description
"As the first 50 years of Indian independence come to an end Defending India by Jaswant Singh, a prominent figure in India's public life, attempts to comprehensively analyse the management of the security challenges faced by the country during the last half century. This is the first time that a senior political figure of India has tackled this challenging theme. Jaswant Singh traces the origins of Indian strategic culture, its civilizational and cultural roots and the strengths and weaknesses of Indian nationhood, and treats these as the basic building blocks on which to structure his examination."--BOOK JACKET.
