Praise for A Military History of India since 1972

In combination with Arjun Subramaniams earlier volume on 19471971, this book is a much-needed survey of Indias military history since independence. As a retired air vice marshal of the Indian Air Force, the author brings an important triservice perspective to the topic. The paucity of available official sources means that the real strength of the work is the interviews and correspondence with senior commanders in all three Indian armed forces. It is a major contribution to the contemporary military history of India.

Alan Jeffreys , author of Approach to Battle: Training the Indian Army during the Second World War

A worthy successor to his first volume, Subramaniam continues his deeply researched and sweeping account of modern Indian military history. Strategy, technology, operations, mobilization systems: its all here. Simply indispensable for anyone trying to understand Indias history and its place in modern global security dynamics.

Wayne E. Lee , Bruce W. Carney Distinguished Professor of History, University of North Carolina

A sequel to Indias Wars: A Military History, 19471971, this book examines the wars and conflicts India has fought since 1972. With a deft hand and the perspective of a military professional, Subramaniam provides a detailed yet vivid and insightful account of the operations of Indias armed forces. Anyone interested in Indias role in the world should read this book.

M. Taylor Fravel , Arthur and Ruth Sloan Professor of Political Science and director, Security Studies Program, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Air Vice Marshal Arjun Subramaniam, a career Indian Air Force fighter pilot and accomplished scholar of international security affairs, has followed his earlier magisterial Indias Wars: A Military History, 19471971, with this richly documented sequel that expands on Indias continued combat experiences as the country has steadily matured into an emerging twenty-first-century heavyweight. Along the way his riveting account reads almost like a war novel at times as it inserts the reader directly into the flow of often fast-paced events and explores the steady gains that have been registered throughout the past four decades in the ever closer and more synergistic integration among Indias three uniformed services. In a commendably balanced and fair-minded way, he offers an informed appreciation of their experiences under the varying stresses of combat across the conflict spectrumall conveyed with a degree of intimate familiarity with the relevant political, strategic, and tactical-level details that only a warrior-scholar of his background and upbringing can capture with such authority.

Benjamin S. Lambeth , nonresident senior fellow, Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, and author of Airpower in the War against ISIS

A Military History of India since 1972 is well written, well researched, and provides excellent critical insights into the Indian military and its role in South Asian security.

James S. Corum , coauthor of Airpower in Small Wars: Fighting Insurgents and Terrorists

As one of Indias important military historians, Air Marshal Arjun Subramaniam masterfully brings the reader on a vivid journey through Indias evolving military doctrine as the countrys global stature and influence continues to rise . A Military History of India since 1972: Full Spectrum Operations and the Changing Contours of Modern Conflict provides a meticulous historical understanding of Indias military positions and current conflicts through the authors firsthand experience as an Indian Air Force fighter pilot and personal accounts shared by many of Indias top military leaders.

William S. Cohen , United States Secretary of Defense (19972001)

A sweeping landscape of war and conflict in contemporary India, A Military History of India since 1972 is a must-read for those who believe that India will be a leading power in the twenty-frist century.

Admiral James G. Stavridis , United States Navy, Supreme Allied Commander at NATO (20092013)

Since 1947 the Indian armed forces have been involved in many varied operations. In the second part of his military history of India, Arjun Subramaniam picks up the story from 1972. He includes a range of campaigns: counterinsurgency against the Nagas, the troubled peacekeeping operation in Sri Lanka, and the high-intensity Kargil conflict. As before he brings to the subject not only extensive research but also an insiders recollections and insights.

Sir Lawrence Freedman , emeritus professor of war studies, Kings College London, and author of The Future of War: A History

Arjun Subramaniam has done it again. Through meticulous research he has uncovered telling details that vivify the familiar story of Indias post-1971 conflicts in a new history that does justiceand honorto all of Indias armed forces. Both scholars and policymakers will benefit greatly from this intimate window into modern Indias military operations.

Ashley J. Tellis , Tata Chair for Strategic Affairs, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace

Arjun Subramaniams A Military History of India since 1972 is a clear, comprehensive, and intriguing account of the conflicts that the Indian state has coped with both on domestic and external fronts. He not only has made deft use of the extant literature but also has drawn on a range of interviews with senior military and civilian defense personnel. This work will be of considerable interest to journalists, analysts, and academics concerned with the evolution of Indias security policies since 1972.
