Proxy War in J & K : A Winning Strategy

Terrorist activities in Jammu and Kashmir are rising day by day. It’s a burning issue since independence and the biggest challenge to our national and internal security. After two heavy defeats in war with India, Pakistan changed it’s approach and started a proxy war with the help of terrorists. Unfortunately our policy has remained ‘high on warnings but low on actions.’ Brig. Hemant Mahajan (Retd.) has served in Poonch region and commanded a Brigade in highly insurgency-prone areas in J & K. The author is an authority at tackling insurgencies and has given the details of Pakistan’s strategy of bleeding India with thousand cuts. He has also discussed the ways to retaliate against terrorism. The book is a studious analysis by a brave officer who was also a senior strategist in combating terrorist activities. It is a valuable reference book on the problem of insurgency.
