Understanding Indian insurgencies [electronic resource] : implications for counterinsurgency operations in the Third World / Durga Madhab (John) Mitra.

• Relevance of Indian experience -- Modeling Indian insurgency -- Discussions on the Indian model -- Recommendations for counterinsurgency strategy.

• A simple linear model for India has been developed to demonstrate how the degree of inaccessibility of an area, the strength of separate social identity of its population, and the amount of external influence on the area determine the propensity of that area for insurgency. Implications of the Indian model for various aspects of counterinsurgency strategy for the Third World, including economic development, the role of democracy, social and political autonomy, and counterinsurgency operations are discussed. Recommendations for effective counterinsurgency strategy and for long-term stability in these countries are included. India is very complex and provides an ideal window for understanding Asian society.
