India's Border Security : Challenges and Solutions
If the borders of the
country are not secure, it means that we will be struck repeatedly by
terrorists infiltrating across the border and our own anti-national elements
moving both ways. We also get massive illegal immigration and smuggling of
various types of contraband including narcotics, arms and explosives, and
counterfeit currency. Because of our incredibly diverse terrain, we need to
apply more brains to the business of border management. Sadly, Indian
security forces have gone about it in a most pedestrian manner, bereft of any
application of mind. And that’s why, in spite of a frightful expenditure on our
borders, we still keep on getting so frequent terrorist attacks committed by
terrorists who cross the borders at will. You are also aware of the
drug problem in Punjab. Obviously, there is something very seriously,
very fundamentally wrong in their very approach to the elementary matter of
border security.
The
book provides an in-depth analysis of, among other things:
• India’s land borders with Pakistan, China,
Bangladesh, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bhutan, and Afghanistan;
• The fencing, border lighting, border
outposts, and high-tech systems like laser walls, etc. thereon;
• Coastal and air security;
• Exhaustive comparative analysis of the
systems adopted by India for guarding its borders with those adopted in the
USA, Israel, and several European countries with their relative merits and
demerits.
• What needs to be done to secure our borders
properly.
Authenticated by a formidable array of 303 references,
the book will be extremely useful to members of the security forces,
policy-makers, researchers and students of defence studies and military
science, academicians, and lay men alike.
