About the book

The armed forces have played a key role in protecting India’s sovereignty and raising its stature as a stable democracy and responsible regional power. Though the nation’s soldiers, sailors and airmen occupy a special place in people’s hearts, standard narratives of contemporary Indian history rarely cover the military dimension. In his first book, India’s Wars: A Military History, 1947-1971, Arjun Subramaniam attempted to set this right by taking readers on a journey until the liberation of Bangladesh in 1971.Full Spectrum: India’s Wars, 1972-2020 takes the story forward. It is a sweeping account of war and conflict in contemporary India over the past five decades. Covering every major operation that the armed forces have participated in — including insurgencies in the north-east, terrorism and proxy wars in Jammu and Kashmir, separatist violence in Punjab, the IPKF intervention in Sri Lanka, and the continued stress along the LoC and LAC — it fuses the strategic, operational, tactical and human dimensions of war and conflict into a racy narrative that reflects their changing character in modern times.
