      abstract = {The book discusses Indias evolving deterrent force  posturing in South Asia under the conceptual essentials of  nuclear revolution when it comes to various combinations of  conventional and nuclear forces development and the  strategic implications it intentionally or unintentionally  poses for South Asian region. Innovatively, the book talks  about how the contemporary restructuring of Indias evolving  deterrent force posture affects Indias nuclear strategy in  general and how this in turn could affect the policies of  its adversaries: China and Pakistan in particular. The book  discusses the motivations of the evolving aspects of Indian  deterrent force posturing that broadly covers Indias  restructuring of its Nuclear Draft Doctrine (DND), the  ballistic missile development program including that of its  Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) system, and the possibility  of conflicts between China-India and India-Pakistan given  their transforming strategic force postures and their  recurring adversarial behavior against each other in the  Southern Asian region.},
