Sample Reviews:
- Jain, B.M., India in the New South Asia: strategic, military and economic concerns in the age of nuclear diplomacy, London and New York: I.B. Tauris, 2010.
”….Jain’s key theoretical insight is that ‘geopsychology’ is poised to supersede geopolitics and geo-economics…Fusing geopolitics with psychology, geopsychology directs attention to the deep-seated convictions of national elites that are forged- according to Hellpach and Jain….The psychological disposition thus created, so the theory goes, shape these elites’ decision-making. ..Jain’s conclusion is clear: unless the ‘deeply entrenched geopsychology of mutual hostility’ (p.154) between India and Pakistan is addressed, South Asia will never see any kind of lasting security and India will be unable to deal effectively with China.” Reviewed by Ian Hall,Australian National University,Australia, in International Affairs, The Royal Institute of International Affairs (London), Vol.88, No.1, 2012. - Jain, India in the New South Asia, London andNew York: I.B.

This is a very timely publication when the risk of nuclear war betweenIndiaandPakistanare causing a great concern not only in the South Asian region but also to the neighbouring countries and to the nuclear weapons states.
As a South Asian specialist, Dr. Jain has an impeccable grasp of the region's society, culture, politics, foreign and defence affairs. This reflects from the book under review, making it refreshingly readable.
The psycho-cultural thesis developed by Professor Jain's is a contribution which will rank among the works of eminent political scientist such as Robert Jervis(Perception and Misperception), George F. Kennan(The Nuclear Delusion), Herman Kahn(Thinking About the Unthinkable),and John Steinburner, Beyond Rational(in Knorr , ed., 1983). However, I strongly feel that there is an ample scope for further research by scholars and policy analysts to work more vigourously on hypotheses and questions raised by the author of the book under review.

- Jain, Nuclear Politics in South Asia
“The author eruditely elucidates that according to this approach (alternative approach), psychological perceptions of the public, both in India and Pakistan, on nuclear and defence issues, can be channelised into influencing widely prevalent perceptions, beliefs, and images- self, national and international ones- of ruling leaders….”Further it is very rightly pointed out that the crux of the problem of confidence building, especially between India and Pakistan,” is the crisis of the good governance which ultimately is the real crisis of the South Asian region".
This book has, indeed, endeavoured to offer a new paradigm to comprehend a complex concern about nuclear politics. It is a well-structured book with sufficient theoretical analysis of various aspects of nuclear politics inSouth Asia. It provides immense statistical information in the Appendices which can be very useful in empirical research. Nuclear Politics inSouth Asia: In Search of an Alternate Paradigm can be used both as a very good reference book as well as for an interesting reading on new thinking.

Opinions on my (BM Jain's) book titled Nuclear Politics in South Asia
“The psycho-cultural paradigm enunciated by you( BM Jain) is indeed a new approach to the vexed problem of nuclear arms race.”--- General S. Roychowdhury, 31 May 1995
“Eve if it ( Nuclear Politics in South Asia) is more than ten years old, its conclusions are still valuable, may be even more so after the end of the Cold War which leaves more room, possibilities and dangers for local disturbances and open rivalries.”------- Prof. Werner Ruf,University ofGesamthachschule,Kassel, 20 .8. 1996

India's Defence and Security: Intra-Regional Dimension. By B.M. Jain INA Shree Publishers, Jaipur, 1998,pp. 197. Bibliog. Index. Rs.400 HB ISBN 81 8665 3 22 8
In eight well-knit chapters, Professor B.M. Jain of theUniversityofRajasthanoffers broad -ranging perspectives on Indian security planning, with the goal of exposing the inherent weaknesses in Indian domestic and external policies and more importantly in its strategic planning. His ultimate objective is to demonstrate the theoretical security paradigms which recent Indian leaders have relied upon has been week. Jain's thesis is that there should be an atmosphere of” mutual understanding and accommodation” in any bilateral diplomacy.
The author has brought forward several hypotheses in order to build up a coherent thesis thatIndiahas been unprepared for a vital role in the South Asian region. ……..
Second, Jain offers suggestions that take into consideration related domestic factors. He correctly notes thatIndia, culturally heterogeneous, divided vertically into mutually exclusive regions and linguistic cultures, and horizontally into mutually exclusive caste systems, has to redefine the meaning of security…. Likewise, with respect to less powerful neighbours,Indiaahs a great responsibility to demonstrate that she is not for regional “hegemonism”(p.132). Indian aid to South Asian nations has generally declined, and this is not a good sign(p.57), Jain contends.
Third, like many other diplomatic historians, Jain notes the flaw in Indo- Pakistani diplomatic exchanges over disputedKashmir. His prescription is that the leaders in both countries should “bring changes in their fixed mindsets through the citizen politics and cultural diplomacy”(p. 163)
Jain's scholarship is strong and his arguments lucid. His book should add meaningfully to the vast existing literature onIndia's security pattern and dilemma.

Jain, India's Defence and Security: Intra-regional Dimension: JaipurIna Shree , 1998
THE COLLAPSE of theSoviet Unionand the end of the cold war provide unprecedented opportunities forIndia's policy makers to reassess its international orientation and to manoeuvre itself into a dominant regional position in the new geopolitical environment. B.M. Jain's book deals with all the recent challenges within its eight chapters. The author analyses and offers a coherent synthesis of research findings, leading to an explanation ofIndia's old security and defence doctrines. The book is exclusively devoted to the intra-regional dilemma and evolving regional security and strategic problems within the paradigm of the social, cultural and psychological dimensions of each of the South Asian states.
Jain explains the multidimensionality of the security issue, in its internal and external dimensions, in order to offer a critique of the options for strengtheningIndia's defence and security at global, regional and domestic levels. The author examines the strategic interests ofIndia's defence planners to gain diplomatic and economic advantages from its nuclear devices (May 1998) whichIndiaperceives as an essential prerequisite for great power status. Jain describesIndiaas a dominant country ofSouth Asia, whose superiority in economic and conventional power as compared to other South Asian countries has given it regional supremacy. Jain's study also constitutes something akin to the ultimate comprehensive review of Nehruvian faint idealistic diplomacy and argues that” national security” must be determined by pragmatic considerations rather than by moral pretensions.
Jain further indicates thatIndia' diversity is the main cause of domestic insecurity. The country is culturally and linguistically heterogeneous, and its society is divided vertically into mutually exclusive regions and horizontally into mutually exclusive castes. It therefore has to redefine the meaning of security. The author is unabashedly unclear about the Indian perception of security and raises the question of “security for whom?” Jain acknowledges thatIndiashould establish defence ties with the ASEAN countries, particularly withMalaysiaandSingapore. He also provides an insightful perspective on India's relations with its neighbours (Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Pakistan), which have usually been less than enviable, and indicates to Indian policy makers that India as a regional power has a great responsibility to convince its neighbours that it has no hegemonic ambitions in the region.
Nevertheless, the book is written in an insightful and analytical manner, reflecting the author's depth of study. This volume deals with extremely difficult subject matter, providing frank appraisals of various issues while omitting gratuitous details. The book as a whole is immensely readable and well organized.
