This book delves into the military strategies and expenses associated with the Forward Policy, a contentious policy that has significantly impacted India's frontier regions. The author argues that the Forward Policy, driven by fears of a Russian invasion, has led to excessive fortification and railway construction, squandering India's resources and compromising its security. The book analyzes the costs of the Afghan War and other frontier operations, revealing the deceptive accounting practices that have concealed the true price of this policy. It examines the ineffectiveness of the Forward Policy in deterring a potential Russian invasion, emphasizing that India's natural barriers and military preparedness render such an invasion highly unlikely. The book concludes that the Forward Policy has undermined India's security by diverting resources from more pressing needs and creating vulnerabilities that could be exploited by adversaries. This insightful analysis provides valuable perspectives for understanding the impact of misguided military policies on a nation's security and economic well-being.
