    Contents Foreword p2/ Preface p3/ Overview p4/ Current initiatives p12/ Challenges and way forward p25/ International examples p28/Sources p32/ Glossary p36/ FICCI Security Department p38 Smart border management: Indian coastal and maritime security September 2017 www.pwc.in Dr Sanjaya Baru Secretary General Foreword 1 FICCI India’s long coastline presents a variety of security challenges including illegal landing of arms and explosives at isolated spots on the coast, infiltration/ex-filtration of anti-national elements, use of the sea and off shore islands for criminal activities, and smuggling of consumer and intermediate goods through sea routes. Absence of physical barriers on the coast and presence of vital industrial and defence installations near the coast also enhance the vulnerability of the coasts to illegal cross-border activities. In addition, the Indian Ocean Region is of strategic importance to India’s security. A substantial part of India’s external trade and energy supplies pass through this region. The security of India’s island territories, in particular, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, remains an important priority. Drug trafficking, sea-piracy and other clandestine activities such as gun running are emerging as new challenges to security management in the Indian Ocean region. FICCI believes that industry has the technological capability to implement border management solutions. The government could consider exploring integrated solutions provided by industry for strengthening coastal security of the country. The FICCI-PwC report on ‘Smart border management: Indian coastal and maritime security’ highlights the initiatives being taken by the Central and state governments to strengthen coastal security measures in the country.

    Report No. 37 of 2015 (Navy and Coast Guard) CHAPTER III: INDIAN NAVY 3.1 Avoidable expenditure of `20.80 crore on Medium Refit cum Cadet Training Ship conversion of INS Sujata due to improper evaluation of bids Navy accepted (February 2009) the unsolicited bids of M/s WISL, Mumbai (i.e. a shipyard) for conversion of Indian Naval Ship (INS) Sujata as Cadet Training Ship, on the assumption that it was a merged entity of M/s ABG, Gujarat (another shipyard) to whom Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued (November 2008). Further, rejection (October 2009) of the bid of M/s WISL in spite of provisions for consideration of unsolicited bids in the Defence Procurement Manual and consequent re-issue (January 2010) of RFP led to a delay of 18 months in conclusion of contract and avoidable expenditure of `20.80 crore. Ministry of Defence (Ministry) accorded Approval in Principle (AIP) (November 2008) for conversion of Indian Naval Ship (INS) Sujata1, commissioned in November 1993, as Cadet Training Ship (CTS) during its Medium Refit (MR). The MR was to be offloaded to a suitable Public Sector Undertaking (PSU)/Commercial Ship Repair Yard on Limited Tender Enquiry basis, at an estimated cost of `80.22 crore for a duration of 12 months, with effect from March 2009. The Request for Proposal (RFP) for undertaking the work of MR-cum-CTS conversion was issued by Naval Ship Repair Yard (NSRY), Kochi (K) to seven firms2 (November 2008) including M/s ABG Shipyard Limited, Mumbai. 1 INS Sujata is a Sukanya class Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV) of Indian Navy 2 (1) M/s Cochin Shipyard Ltd.

  • The Royal Indian Navy Mutiny of 1946 Nationalist Competition and Civil-Military Relations in Postwar India

This work was supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, under grant number DGE-1110007. The author has no financial or nonfinancial interests to disclose. Acknowledgements: The author would like to thank WM. Roger Louis, Zoltan Barany, and Ami Pedahzur for their detailed input and helpful suggestions, as well as their mentorship and encouragement. Correspondence to: John M. Meyer, Department of Government, University of Texas at Austin, 158 W 21st ST STOP A1800; Austin, Texas 78712-1704; USA. Email: [email protected]. 1 Abstract This article argues for the importance of the Royal Indian Navy mutiny of 1946 in two key aspects of the transition towards Indian independence: civilian control over the Indian military, and a competition for power between Congress and Communists that undermined Indian workers and their student allies. The article begins with an investigation of the mutiny drawing on three sources: a first-person account from a lead mutineer, a Communist history of the mutiny, and the papers published in the Towards Freedom collection. In 1946 a handful of low-ranking sailors sparked a naval mutiny that ultimately involved upwards of 20,000 sailors, and then crashed into the streets of Bombay with revolutionary fervor. The Communists party in Bombay seized upon the mutiny as an opportunity to rally the working class against the British raj, with the hope of ending British rule through revolution rather than negotiation. Yet the mutiny proved less of a harbinger for what was ending, and more of a bellwether for what was to come.

No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means without permisson in writing from ORF. From Buyer to Builder: The Indian Navy’s Rocky Road to Self-Reliance ABSTRACT This paper evaluates deficiencies in India’s naval shipbuilding programme and identifies factors that adversely impact naval warship construction in the country. It argues that despite considerable effort, India’s shipbuilding endeavours continue to suffer from systemic deficits that cannot be addressed through ad hoc policy interventions and short-term solutions. Through an assessment of strengths and weaknesses of India’s defence shipyards, the paper shows why Indian warship construction is in need of sustained attention and policies that would treat shipbuilding as a strategic enterprise.

  • Arming Without Aiming: India's Military Modernization
    chapter one Restraint and Affluence One of the most remarkable attributes of India as an independent nation has been its longstanding restraint in military strategy. Reticence in the use of force as an instrument of state policy has been the dominant political condition for Indian thinking on the military, including military modernization. From the initial delay in sending troops to defend Kashmir in 1948 to the twenty-four-year hiatus in testing nuclear weapons, India has used force mainly in response to grave provocation and as an unwelcome last resort. The country’s greatest strategic success, the victory of 1971, occurred in response to a Pakistan Army crackdown on rebel Bengalis, which killed tens of thousands and forced millions of refugees to flee to India. It is notable that New Delhi did not press its military advantage in the west to resolve the Kashmir problem. Similarly, India’s nuclear weapons program, the military capacity that could have transformed India’s strategic position, remained in limbo for twenty-four years after India tested its first atomic device in 1974. There are exceptions to Indian restraint as well as questions about whether it was driven by capacity or intention. Of course, Pakistan has never been persuaded of Indian restraint. We discuss these issues below as part of our investigation in this chapter into whether India’s new affluence and access to advanced weapons technology will end the pattern of strategic restraint, turning India into a traditional great power with clear strategic objectives and the military means to achieve them. The answer is not self-evident.
