Produktbeschreibung
Having acquired the fifth place in the economies of the world, India is aspiring to achieve the status of a developed nation by 2047. It is not going to be an easy task. For, internal challenges are as worrisome as the external threats. This book strives to examine major challenges faced by India in its quest for self-sufficiency in defence production and the management of the security environment. Burgeoning Indo-US relations augur well for both the countries and need to be fast-tracked. Although India is not involved directly in the ongoing Ukraine conflict, it has to tread a cautious diplomatic path. Due to its sheer size and diversity, democracy faces huge challenges in India. Many well-meaning programmes face opposition from professional activists. Political parties resort to playing caste-cards and offering freebies. The Election Commission has failed to curb these detrimental practices. Although an impartial and efficient judiciary is indispensable, it must confine itself to the assigned role and not assume legislative functions. Finally, the book discusses a number of issues that impact the health of the armed forces.
