In this book, Bharat Karnad delves exclusively into these hard power aspects of India's rise and the problems associated with them. He offers an incisive analysis of the deficits in the country's military capabilities and in the 'software' related to hard power absence of political vision and will, insensitivity to strategic geography, and unimaginative foreign and military policies and arrives at powerful arguments on why these shortfalls have prevented the country from achieving the great power status.
