The strategic decisions made by PM Modi make the public trust his leadership more.\u201dShe added that \u201cat the end of the day, foreign policy should be based on core national interests. PM Modi\u2019s approach to national security threats posed by external foes is to reassure the people of India that they will be protected and Indian territory is safe. By taking firm strategic decisions during crises such as the Pathankot, Uri and Pulwama attacks by Pakistan, and the Doklam and Ladakh standoffs with China, the Prime Minister has shown a commitment to \u2018India First\u2019 and has placed national security above all other considerations and pressures.\u201d  The book launch was also graced by former diplomat and Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ambassador Lakshmi Puri. Ambassador Puri said that \u201cSreeram Chaulia\u2019s trailblazing book Crunch Time analyses PM Modi\u2019s series of decision-making moves during crises with China and Pakistan as part of a bigger transformative path to reinvigorate the glory of India\u2019s ancient self Bharat. Under PM Modi, India has moved away from being a soft state prone to taking defensive stances to an aggressive response when India\u2019s land and citizens are attacked.\u201dAmbassador Puri added that \u201cgovernments before PM Modi took office would hesitate to respond to aggression by India\u2019s two foreign adversaries with the mindset of \u2018duniya kya sochegi?\u2019 (what will the world think?). Now, as Sreeram Chaulia\u2019s book Crunch Time has shown, the Modi approach to national security threats is about \u201cduniya ko kya sochna chahiye?\u201d (what should the world be made to think?)  The author of the book, Dr. Sreeram Chaulia, remarked at the launch event that \u201cIndia never properly documented national security crisis management by its political leaders. \u2018Crunch Time\u2019 provides an analytical discourse record of four crisis management case studies of India in the Modi era. The book explains the doctrines that mark \u2018new India\u2019 under PM Modi and National Security Adviser Ajit Doval\u2013 \u2018Security First\u2019, \u2018Offensive Defence\u2019 and a mobilisation of India\u2019s masses to support the state as it took on China and Pakistan in repeated episodes of confrontation since 2016 to present. The central claim of the book is that India ceased being a \u2018soft state\u2019 since Modi came to the helm and that India has found a middle path between passivity and all-out war in its quest to secure Indian territory and people from foreign attackers.<\/p>\n<p> The Vice Chancellor of O.P.Jindal Global University, Dr. C. Raj Kumar praised the author of Crunch Time as \u201ca brilliant mind, prolific writer and inspiring teacher who doesn\u2019t stop at academic writings but engages in public discourse through the popular news media.\u201d He called Dr. Sreeram Chaulia \u201can inspiring teacher as well who has shaped the minds of hundreds of students at the Jindal School of International Affairs and thousands of young people in India and around the world through his discourses and writings on world politics.\u201d  There was also a lively panel discussion anchored by Ms. Sakal Bhatt, Consulting Editor and Senior Anchor of Doordarshan, at the book launch function. Lieutenant General Syed Ata Hasnain, who wrote the Foreword of Crunch Time, said that,\u201cThis book is an important scholarly record of the major national security crises India has faced in recent times. They are all related to military strategy, but Chaulia has brought high quality academic rigour to understand those very tense moments of contemporary Indian history. The book has shone light on the important events that define the new strategic culture of India. Following PM Modi\u2019s tough decisions like the surgical strikes in 2016 and the Balakot airstrikes in 2019, the last nail in the coffin of strategic passivity was his decision to abrogate Article 370 and integrate Kashmir. The crises that Crunch Time describes have successively built up the strategic confidence of the Indian establishment. This book helps to rediscover the growing strength of India.\u201d  Air Marshal Anil Chopra congratulated the \u201cnationalistic fervour of Crunch Time\u201d and recalled that \u201cafter the 26\/11 terror attacks in Mumbai, the Indian Air Force Chief made an offer to the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to carry out strikes and neutralise training camps of Pakistan-based terror groups. But such bold decisions were taken only under the leadership of Modi. With a leader like Modi at the helm, we from the armed forces feel very proud that there is a top level civilian political backing for us to execute our plans and deter our enemies.\u201d  Another panellist, Shehzad Poonawalla of the Bharatiya Janata Party, commented,\u201cThis book should be catalogued under the category of leadership management apart from IR and politics. It shows the centrality of PM Modi\u2019s political leadership in changing India\u2019s strategic culture from defensive to assertive. There has unfortunately been a concerted campaign by some political forces in India to generate opposing narratives and destroy public confidence in the state during national security crises with foreign opponents. This book by Dr. Sreeram Chaulia provides the much-needed discourse that can instil confidence in the public about PM Modi\u2019s steadfast commitment to national security.\u201d  The fourth panellist, Executive Editor of TV9 Aditya Raj Kaul, observed,\u201cThe Modi government does not believe in the status quo. It focuses on shifting the paradigm. Such paradigm shifts have been brought about by decisions like the surgical strikes and the abrogation of article 370 in Kashmir. How Modi handled challenges from China and Pakistan must be studied in depth and I urge everyone to read this book to understand the importance of the crisis situations and the decisions made.\u201d    PWR PWR<\/p>\n<div class=\"trade-after-content\" id=\"trade-4119467004\"><div id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails\"><\/div>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\r\n  _taboola.push({\r\n    mode: 'alternating-thumbnails-a',\r\n    container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnails',\r\n    placement: 'Below Article Thumbnails',\r\n    target_type: 'mix'\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\r\n  _taboola.push({flush: true});\r\n<\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi, 1 April, 2022: A new book authored by Dr. Sreeram Chaulia, the Dean of the Jindal School of International Affairs of O.P.Jindal Global University, titled Crunch Time: Narendra Modi\u2019s National Security Crises (Rupa Publications), was released at the India International Centre in New Delhi on March 31 by the Minister of State for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v20.5 (Yoast SEO v25.0) -
