SIACHEN Conflict Zone Looking Beyond The Himalayas

This book is a comprehensive compendium on the Siachen Geographic Zone in Ladakh and towards the west in POK/GB areas. There is a case made out for the Freedom of Tibet(and even Xinjiang and Baluchistan). It also covers the battles in the Saltoro Heights in details including the cartographic war and the debate around the LOC and the AGPL. The book has also delved in the larger geopolitical and geostrategic dynamics, evolving around the Himalayas and the CPEC. It also analyses the linkage from Siachen to the Seas around Gwadar and into the IOR. The emerging PLA military capabilities astride and beyond the Himalayas to the Seas is a challenge to India’s military competence. India too needs to cause, cost effective and smart military transformation to guard India’s Northern flank and remain alive to this great game so unfolding in the Himalayas.
