This volume brings together twenty-one papers presented at the Indo-Soviet Symposium on Secularization in Multi-religious Societies, held at Tashkent in November 1978. The discussions at Tashkent and the papers had historical, sociological and philosophical dimensions. The resulting publication is intended to help build bridges of understanding. The Soviet Union and India are both multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, and multi-religious societies. Their experiences in matters of cultural autonomy, religious freedom and national integration have many parallels, but also have many significant differences. In this book there are eight Indian and thirteen Soviet contributions which deal with a vast area of individual and social life influenced by the existence of religious beliefs, institutions, and practices and by transformations taking place in them ideologically, structurally, and historically. Societies marked by cultural pluralism and religious diversities will find a guide to formulation of cultural policy, in the diffusion of information and in scholarly analyses of the subjects presented in this book.

Transformation should lie at the heart of our new approach to defense. The development of transformational capabilities, processes, and force structures should be given strategic focus to meet the principal challenges under our defense strategy. India is already ceased with the necessity of transformation albeit without any documented national security guidelines or operating instructions, which are legislated or have the validation of at least the 'Cabinet Committee on Security'(CCS). In other words the first step would be to create a draft security strategy based on many assumptions, like the foreign policy or the cumulative emerging threat scenario as appreciated by the Defence Intelligence Agency(DIA). This well researched book is a result of the project allotted by the USI under the Field Marshal K. M. Cariappa chair. The book is therefore more as an idea or a theoretical construct, basically to bring in more clarity to the various options available for this great transformation of the Indian military.The author has deliberated upon various landmarks of transformation milestones achieved so far by the three services and given recommendations to further build upon ongoing modernization plan and shift to a higher plane of transformational activities.
