The Indian Army completed careful negative marks against dread launchpads on and along the Line of Control (LoC). The careful strikes were completed almost 10 days after the Uri dread assault where 18 warriors were killed when four psychological oppressors propelled a torrent of projectiles at the Army's 12 Brigade central station in Uri, Jammu and Kashmir. Reviewing the evening of October 28-29 when Special Forces of the Indian Army completed the careful strikes, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said three years back on this day he didn't rest the entire night and was trusting that his telephone will ring. Tending to BJP laborers minutes in the wake of coming back from his outing to the US on Saturday night, PM Narendra Modi stated, "That day denoted the triumph of India's bold troopers who did careful strike and made the nation glad."

Had the terrorist attack been confined to Pulwama and the martyrdom of the Indian CRPF, there was no point for me to pen this novel Surgical Strike. But when the political flames began to swallow the nation and its social fabric to exploit the situation, it was obvious for the protagonist Aajivak Babu to be involved in surgical strikes on different fronts. He collides with the culture of becoming a large gathering turned into robots, sheep, mindless crowd, a product ‘For Sale’ with their remote controls in the hands of unbridled radical forces to hostage the constitutional institutions where media play as an auctioned players of ‘Indian Media Premier league’, then what bitter experience the Indian society and the nation pass through, ‘Surgical Strike’ mirrors it all as lifeline of the novel.

When India and Pakistan held nuclear tests in 1998, they restarted the clock on an intense competition that had begun with Partition. Nuclear weapons restored strategic parity, erasing the advantage of India's much larger military. But the shield offered by nuclear weapons also encouraged a reckless reliance by Pakistan on militant proxies even as jihadis spun out of control within and beyond its borders. In the years that followed, Pakistan would lose decisively to India, sacrificing its own domestic stability in a failed attempt to assert its claim to Kashmir and influence events in Afghanistan.Defeat is an Orphan tracks the defining episodes in the relationship between India and Pakistan from 1998, from bitter conflict in the mountains to military confrontation in the plains, from the hijacking of an Indian airliner to the Mumbai attacks.

The Mumbai blasts of 1993, the attack on the Indian Parliament in 2001, Mumbai 26/11—cross-border terrorism has continued unabated. What can India do to motivate Pakistan to do more to prevent such attacks? In the nuclear times that we live in, where a military counter-attack could escalate to destruction beyond imagination, overt warfare is clearly not an option. But since outright peace-making seems similarly infeasible, what combination of coercive pressure and bargaining could lead to peace? The authors provide, for the first time, a comprehensive assessment of the violent and non-violent options available to India for compelling Pakistan to take concrete steps towards curbing terrorism originating in its homeland. They draw on extensive interviews with senior Indian and Pakistani officials, in service and retired, to explore the challenges involved in compellence and to show how non-violent coercion combined with clarity on the economic, social and reputational costs of terrorism can better motivate Pakistan to pacify groups involved in cross-border terrorism. Not War, Not Peace? goes beyond the much discussed theories of nuclear deterrence and counterterrorism strategy to explore a new approach to resolving old conflicts.
