Situation in Pakistan and Implications for India” on 07 July 2011 at the Manekshaw Centre
General The Centre for land Warfare Studies organised a seminar on “Situation in Pakistan and Implications for India” on 07 July 2011 at the Manekshaw Centre. The seminar was chaired by Shri Satish Chandra, former Deputy NSA and the speakers were AVM Kapil Kak (Retd), Prof C Raja Mohan, Mr Rana Banerji and Capt (IN) Alok Bansal. Brig Gurmeet Kanwal (Retd), Director CLAWS, presented Dr Mohan Guruswamy’s presentation on the subject. Selected officers from the armed forces, diplomats, members of the academic community and Pakistan scholars participated in the seminar. Shri Satish Chandra In his opening remarks, the chairman stated that Pakistan was going through turbulent times. The recent incident at Mehran naval base and the killing of Salim Shehzad are extremely worrisome and reflect the tumultuous situation in Pakistan. This seminar is an occasion to develop a snapshot of Pakistan and analyse the political situation. The deliberations should also take into account the internal politics of the country. It is important to question the impact of the withdrawal of MQM on PPP, the civil-military relations, the state of Pakistan’s institutions like the media, judiciary etc. Pakistan is suffering from 20 per cent inflation and has had a growth rate of almost 2% in the last two years. The main aspects of Pakistan’s foreign policy include its relations with India, US and China. Let us deliberate upon the current situation in Pakistan and its implications for India. AVM Kapil Kak (Retd) Pakistan is in a state of turmoil and moving closer to becoming a failed state.

The Pakistan Navy: a Transformation from ‘Fledgling Force’ to ‘Fighting Machine’ Abhijit Singh*
Abhijit Singh FocusThe Pakistan Navy: A Transformation from ‘Fledgling Force’ to ‘Fighting Machine’ Abhijit Singh* The Pakistan navy (PN) is poised on the brink of a transformation. Neglected for long by Pakistan’s political masters and a dominant Pakistan army, the PN was unable to assert its salience and witnessed slow growth. But in the one decade since the September 2001 attacks and the US led ‘war on terror’, it has undergone a striking metamorphosis. As Pakistan realises the importance of having a robust maritime force and commits greater resources for its development, the tactics of the PN and its broader strategy in the northern Arabian Sea too have undergone a shift. An enhanced international profile and greater credibility for its role in regional maritime order is gradually resulting in the PN becoming a more confident and assertive player, and a major stakeholder in the regional maritime security regime. In December 2010, the Pakistan chief of naval staff, Admiral Noman1 Bashir, speaking onnot the attract sidelines much ofattention the Defence at the Services time, but Asia in the (DSA) months exhibition, that have commented followed, it that has the Pakistan navy was on the cusp of a dramatic transformation .

Domestic Barriers to Dismantling the Militant Infrastructure in Pakistan
[PEACEW RKS [ DOMESTIC BARRIERS TO DISMANTLING THE MILITANT INFRASTRUCTURE IN PAKISTAN Stephen Tankel ABOUT THE REPORT This report, sponsored by the U.S. Institute of Peace, examines several underexplored barriers to dismantling Pakistan’s militant infrastructure as a way to inform the understandable, but thus far ineffectual, calls for the coun- try to do more against militancy. It is based on interviews conducted in Pakistan and Washington, DC, as well as on primary and secondary source material collected via field and desk-based research. AUTHOR’S NOTE:This report was drafted before the May 2013 elections and updated soon after. There have been important developments since then, including actions Islamabad and Washington have taken that this report recommends. Specifically, the U.S. announced plans for a resumption of the Strategic Dialogue and the Pakistani government reportedly developed a new counterterrorism strategy. Meanwhile, the situation on the ground in Pakistan continues to evolve. It is almost inevitable that discrete ele- ments of this report of will be overtaken by events. Yet the broader trends and the significant, endogenous obstacles to countering militancy and dismantling the militant infrastruc- ture in Pakistan unfortunately are likely to remain in place for some time. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Stephen Tankel is an assistant professor at American University, nonresident scholar in the South Asia program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and author of Storming the World Stage: The Story of Lashkar- e-Taiba. He has conducted field research on conflicts and militancy in Algeria, Bangladesh, India, Lebanon, Pakistan, and the Balkans. Professor Tankel is a frequent media commentator and adviser to U.S.

He is a maritime professional with specialist and command experience in front-line Indian naval ships, and was involved in the writing of India's maritime strategy (2007).

Maritime Terrorism in Asia: An Assessment ABSTRACT This paper evaluates the possibility of an increase in maritime terrorist violence in Asia, based on a recounting and analysis of some of the most recent past incidents in these waters. It argues that the vulnerability of high seas shipping to criminal acts of violence and the weak and inconsistent nature of maritime governance raises the possibility of a terrorist strike in the Asian littorals. In assessing the odds of a major terrorist attack in coastal regions, the paper also explores the terrorism- piracy nexus and the state of port security in key continental spaces, highlighting measures to improve maritime readiness against acts of terror.

Terrorism Harbors at Sea : Snapshot of Maritime Terrorism Adv
Terrorism harbors at sea : Snapshot of Maritime Terrorism Adv. Sakshi Shairwal Anam Khan Introduction Modern terrorism dates back to the French revolution and has been evolving since then. Among many reasons and sources that aid terrorism, the most common ones are clashes between different cultures, religion and international conflicts. Gone are the days when terrorism was limited to land. Now the scope has shifted to the waters too. Unfortunately, there is no authoritative definition of maritime terrorism. However, what is commonly understood of the term ‘terrorism’ is one among several forms of armed rebellion with systematic use of violence to achieve some higher cause. With the prefix, ‘maritime’ added to it the limit of such armed rebels is restricted to the waters. Although maritime terrorism has not been a serious threat one cannot discount from the rather widespread fears that there is something worse may come. One often tends to think how do terrorist groups benefit from the vastness and lawlessness at the sea? It is primarily through attacks that have sea base as their targets and by using the sea to transport support means like weapons and militants. There are no reliable statistics that have recorded incidents of maritime terrorism. Some of the incidents that have been recorded do not qualify as such either because they do not fall in the category of terrorism or they are not maritime. With the help of continuing threats and ambiguous data, this article tries to make an analysis of maritime terrorism around the globe. Timeline of maritime terror attacks The reason for departure from discussions on maritime terrorism in South Asia is the surprise attacks on the PNS Zulfiqar, in 2014 a Pakistani frigate, in Karachi.
