Summary
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.
