you to a talk
“Kashmir,
the border and beyond”
By
Ali
Ahmed
Time:
Wednesday, 9 November, 2016 at 3.00 pm.
Venue:
Room 56, Faculty of Arts, Delhi University.
Overview
This year’s tally
of innocent deaths in Kashmir nears the three figure mark. Alongside, a terror
attack in Uri accounted for 20 lives. India has in rebound gone in for
strategic proactivism. The lecture seeks to examine the shift from strategic
restraint to strategic proactivism by discussing the inter-twined military
doctrines of the two states – India and Pakistan. The interplay between the
doctrines at the three levels – subconventional, conventional and nuclear –
appears combustible. The possible futures going down a proactive route are
discussed in a way as to allow the audience to be able to think through the
issues involved – Kashmir, military doctrines, strategic restraint and
strategic proactivism – by their own lights.
