Arming without Aiming: India's Military Modernization

India’s explosive economic growth and rising affluence have led many experts to predict a major rearmament effort. The second-most populous nation in the world is beginning to wield the economic power one would expect of such a behemoth, while its border with Pakistan remains a potential tinderbox and the subcontinent remains vulnerable to religious extremism. So the resources for rearmament are there, as are the motives. But what in fact has India actually done in the way of improving its military? What should we expect to see in the future, and what will the likely results be? In Arming without Aiming, Stephen Cohen and Sunil Dasgupta answer those crucial questions.
