North-East India has great strategic significance due to its external boundary lines with China, Bhutan, Myanmar and Bangladesh. Its history remained under the dark shadow of mysteries for long, till it got a jolt from the British. Both the plains and hill areas of the region has a conglomerate population divided into a number of tribes and sub-tribes. This book presents politico-historical account of the North-East India right from beginning to date. It also presents administrative provisions in the area during the British rule and their impact on the present politics of the North-Eastern states. Moreover, the international boundary lines touching the region has always remained controversial. The work presents all these accounts based on personal surveys of the area. Today the region is prone to insurgency and numerous militant and anti-national organizations are causing serious threat to national integrity. Their acts of violence have created a chaotic and anarchic situation in the region. This work not only discusses terrorist incidents but also investigates into the factors responsible for anti-national activities of the militants. The work will greatly serve the purpose of policy makers, historians, defence personnel, administrators, academicians and the readers alike.

This book is a story of tender and cruel human and social values, which has been woven around the life and times of an Indian intelligence agent. It is not another spy thriller. The political and social ambiences depicted in the book have also been woven around the echoes of history, though all the characters are fictitious.

The tragic events of September 11, 2001, and the consequent "war on terrorism" have made the question of effective counter-terrorism policy a growing public concern. The original essays in Combating Terrorism offer a unique overview and evaluation of the counter-terrorism policies of ten countries: the United States, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, the United Kingdom, Spain, Israel, Turkey, India, and Japan. Postscripts for each of the country chapters provide post-September 11 assessments of current counter-terrorism practices. Most of the contributors to this volume have served in official governmental capacities and many continue to serve as consultants to governmental policy and decision makers.All of the essays address the same set of questions to allow for cross-national comparison of strategies and an assessment of counter-terrorism practices:What is the governmental and public perception of the sources of terrorism? How successful have the policies of governments been in combating both domestic and international terrorism? What factors influence a government's willingness and ability to cooperate with other countries in combating terrorism? To what degree are the terrorist realities and the concerns of governments interconnected with global terrorism? To what degree are certain countries "natural hosts" of either terrorist groups or propensities that target Western or closely allied interests? To what degree are terrorist organizations mainly concerned about winning political participation in their target countries? Which counter-terrorism strategies work, and which do not? What are the lessons of past experiences for future counter-terrorism responses at the national, regional, and global levels? The conclusion to the volume summarizes the lessons that may be learned from the experiences of the ten countries and discusses a list of best practices in counter-terrorism.This book will be of interest to policymakers, scholars, and other individuals with professional responsibilities in the area of terrorism and security studies. Written in clear, accessible prose, this book will also appeal to the general reader who is interested in gaining insight into the array of issues facing governments that endeavor to combat terrorism, and into the possible solutions to one of the foremost threats to world peace in our time.

Combating Terrorism: Strategies of Ten Countries

The book deals with the functional dynamics, and the operational mechanics of the Indian Foreign Office from its inception to date.It has filled the gap in information about the implementation of India's foreign policy by providing a detailed analysis of the procedures and functional dynamics of the Ministry of External Affairs. No book in the past, to the best of one's knowledge, has made such a thorough study of MEA and its operations at so many levels as Inside Diplomacy. Many truths are told that should embarrass the Ministry; many revelations are made, that come as shocking surprise to the public... The book abounds in stories, some amusing,some shocking but almost all highly educative.
