Employment of space technologies for advancing the nation's social, scientific and economic interests is gaining increasing importance in the 21st century. At the same time space security, which includes the security of space assets and the ability to use space for civilian and security purposes is also attracting increasing attention. During the last few decades the number of states investing in satellite technologies has grown. Today satellite technology is providing a wide array of services from mobile telephony to global navigation to disaster management. The Armed Forces in various parts of the world have also begun to rely increasingly on space technologies. Particularly the 1991 Gulf War and subsequent military campaigns in various parts of the world have demonstrated the significance of space technologies for militaries. With the growing reliance of Armed Forces on space technology the concern about security of space assets is increasing. These concerns have been further fuelled by the anti satellite ASAT test undertaken by Chine in 2007. As a space faring nation it is important for India to constantly monitor the rapidly changing global space order. This books is an attempt to analyse the ongoing trends in the space domain and emphasis the need for India to establish a comprehensive space strategy. (jacket).…

The book unravels the truth behind the emergence of Taliban in Punjab with one chapter each on the eight divisions: Lahore, Bhawalpur, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Multan, Dera Ghazi Khan, Sargodha and Rawalpindi of Punjab province. The book gives a detailed account of structure of radical as well as terrorist organisations, infighting among different factions and related activities. The book quotes an intelligence agency to assert that there are some 150,000 insurgents belonging to Jehadi and fundamentalist organisations active in Punjab province and draws the reader's attention to the fact that almost all fundamentalist organisations are based in Punjab and it is Punjab that provides a majority of the terrorists and suicide bombers to various organisations active in Pakistan's tribal regions, thus negates the existing hypothesis that insurgency in tribal areas is driven by indigenous groups and bolster the author's arguments regarding the presence of Taliban and other outlawed organisations in Punjab. The author states that after the US attacks on Al-Qaeda and Taliban in Afghanistan, most of the Al-Qaeda leaders took shelter in Punjab. A majority of Al-Qaeda leaders arrested in Pakistan, including Khalid Muhammad Sheikh, Abu Zubeida and Abu Khalfan, were arrested from the Punjab cities of Rawalpindi, Faisalabad and Gujarat. "Punjabi Taliban" is based on his unparalleled access into the terrorist organisations and provides a unique insight into this new phrase, in the ongoing struggle against terrorism. (jacket).…

Talibanization of Pakistan from 9/11 to 26/11 is a comprehensive and authoritative handbook on the rise and growth of Islamic militant groups in Pakistan which are a threat to not only neighbouring countries but also the very society that sustains them. The book portrays a dangerous and tragic picture of Pakistan founded by a secular and moderate leader Mohammad Ali Jinnah but a nation now on the verge of Talibanization. The author maintains that Pakistan might be a frontline state in the war against terror but Jehadi groups continue to thrive there with the tacit support of sections of the military and intelligence establishments. This book is the story of a monster created by a Frankenstein State which is now out to devour its own master. It is packed with events and anecdotes which when juxtaposed give a clear view of how individuals as well as institutions have in their own ways and for their own self seeking agendas watched the creation of a Jehadi culture. The author's effort is best described as a text book on Pakistan's involvement with Al Qaeda and the Taliban linked Jehadi Labyrinth from which it is not easy for it to come out of. The author takes stock of the 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attack noting that Pakistan despite being a key American ally in the war against terrorism for years continues to reverberate with the call of Jehad. Therefore the flag of militant Islam keeps fluttering Highmore alarmingly with the extremist Jehadis literally marching on the state. This is not a book for anyone who is looking for easy solutions the author addresses the larger issue of Islamic fundamentalism by tracing the socio political circumstances due to which Pakistan as a nation state got into this quagmire. The book is essential reading for those interested in understanding contemporary Pakistan by a Pakistani living in the country who has come under repeated pressure for his bold writings. This is not an opinion book but an informative book created by a Pakistani journalist to expose his country's own establishment. 422 pp.…
