Intended to give a point of view that might not be the official, popular or sanitised version. Is my version of the world from my vantage of experience, learning and observation. An honest view of South Asian regional security and Indian national security. Have imported my posts on www.ali-writings.blogspot.com and www.subcontinentalmusings.blogspot.com. Makes for over 1000 commentaries of varying length on strategic events, issues and concerns over the past 15 years. An almost-weekly record of security matters over the past two decades. A resource for defence and strategic studies, peace studies, International Relations, Indian politics, Kashmir, Indian Army, military sociology, nuclear doctrine, conventional and subconventional doctrine, India-Pakistan relations, Muslim minority security and allied issues this century.
