Présentation de l'éditeur
There will be no Russian invasion of I ndia. .. .R ussia has long understood both our strength and our weakness. There will be no foolish raid as long as India is united in tranquillity and contentment under British rule. Russia well knows that such an attempt would only end in the entire destruction of the invaders. .. .T he danger then is imaginary. Herat is no more the key to India than is Tabreez, or Khiva, or Kokand, or Meshed. .. .N o, the dream is idle: England sdangers are in I ndia, not without; and we trust that it will be in India they will be met, and that there will be no third Afghan campaign. Such a move would be playing Russia sgame. We are safe while we hold our ground and do our duty Sir Henry Lawrence, in 1856 So far as the invasion of India in that quarter, it is the opinion of Her Majesty s Government that it is hardly practicable.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the military strategies and expenses associated with the Forward Policy, a contentious policy that has significantly impacted India's frontier regions. The author argues that the Forward Policy, driven by fears of a Russian invasion, has led to excessive fortification and railway construction, squandering India's resources and compromising its security. The book analyzes the costs of the Afghan War and other frontier operations, revealing the deceptive accounting practices that have concealed the true price of this policy. It examines the ineffectiveness of the Forward Policy in deterring a potential Russian invasion, emphasizing that India's natural barriers and military preparedness render such an invasion highly unlikely. The book concludes that the Forward Policy has undermined India's security by diverting resources from more pressing needs and creating vulnerabilities that could be exploited by adversaries. This insightful analysis provides valuable perspectives for understanding the impact of misguided military policies on a nation's security and economic well-being. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
