  • THE NEED for FOCUSED REORGANIZATION a Thesis
    INDIAN HOMELAND SECURITY: THE NEED FOR FOCUSED REORGANIZATION A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Art and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Edward Parkinson, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. March 24, 2012 INDIAN HOMELAND SECURITY: THE NEED FOR FOCUSED REORGANIZATION Edward Parkinson, B.A. MALS Mentor: Dr. Palarino, Ph.D. ABSTRACT From the attacks on its Parliament in 2001 until the devastating attacks that took place in Mumbai in 2008, India has faltered from one terrorist incident to another. Due to a factor of reasons but primarily because of the lack of effective security controls at its borders, an antiquated approach at dealing with the realities of 21st Century terrorism, a focus on old enemies and the lack of political will, India remains a soft target and one that will be exploited by its enemies, both in the present and in the future. By focusing on current Indian counterterrorism policy, legislation, and practices, this research paper aims to provide the Indian authorities with a different approach when it comes to the complex matter of counterterrorism. ii DEDICATION To my cousin Alexander Mayhew and my uncle David Parkinson.

    The NDA Regime and National Security— A Performance Appraisal —L.K. Advani hen National Democratic Alliance (NDA), a coalition led Wby BJP, assumed power in March 1998, the global, regional and domestic security scenario was grim and precarious. Struck by International terrorism, the world was still groping in darkness about the right and effective response to the invisible enemy syndrome, which threatened the nations, civil societies and individuals alike. The democratic and non-Islamic States were specially threatened – India being both was in its vortex. The emergence of uni-polar world following the cessation of cold war, had decisively established US pre-eminence in military, political, economic and technological spheres. Seizing the opportunity to maximise its strategic and economic gains in the new configured world, its allies and US assiduously pursued policies, which often militated against the economic and strategic interests of developing countries like India. With the disintegration of the USSR, and Russia encountering the pangs of transition till late Nineties, India lost a strategic partner and stood disadvantaged, particularly in the sphere of defence related technologies and procurement of defence equipment. Nearer home, Pakistan, emboldened by the success of Covert Action in Afghanistan in which, playing the role of a front line state it helped in subduing a super-power, was convinced of ‘Covert Action’ as a potent weapon against India. At its command was a large trained manpower in war veterans of Afghan War, Islamic seminaries to churn out Jehadi desperados, terrorist training and logistic infrastructure, western supplied sophisticated terrorist 2 • Party Document Vol-9 weapons and hardware and Indian experience in Punjab behind it to pursue its Kashmir agenda.
