India's security dilemmas

About the Book: India's Security Dilemmas: Pakistan and Bangladesh Investigates the rise of militant Islam in India's two neighbouring countries, and its implications for India and the Asian subcontinent. India's Security Dilemmas investigates the rise of militant Islam in India's two neighbouring countries, and its implications for India and the Asian subcontinent. The book traces the origins of militant Islam, its several manifestations, and its virulent spread across the Subcontinent. The author draws both on his knowledge of Islamic literature and history, and his extensive field-based experience and empirical knowledge of the Islamic world. This volume is comprised of six essays on the idea of the state; its idelogical genesis; the appalling expansion of terrorism; Indo-Pakistan relations; geopolitics; and Pakistan's nuclear programme. The book's second section- its centre-piece- describes the birth of Bangladesh and examines the key political roles played by individuals such as Abu Sayeed Chaudhury, Mujibur Rahman and General Ziaur Rahman. The subsequent rise of Islamic extremism in Bangladesh is examined with keen insight.
