From aggressive, devious neighbours to well-armed internal insurgents, the list of those taking aim at India is long. Their morally bankrupt political system and blinkered bureaucracy only compounds the mess. As the editor of INDIAN DEFENCE REVIEW, Bharat Verma lives by a simple philosophy: 'Don't give me a list of problems, give me solutions.' From discussing ways to counter China's imperial ambitions, to answering why a splintered Pakistan is in India's interest and addressing why India needs to develop not just cutting edge defence industries but also have an offensive orientation against those gunning for their democracy. Solutions are what Verma offers in this sequel to Fault Lines. In this riveting series of columns, Verma takes a 360 degree look at the strategic and military challenges facing India today, and suggests ways and means to overcome them.
