Initiated in 2001, the India's National Security Annual Review (INSAR) over the past decade has evolved into a useful companion in studying India's national security challenges. Like the previous volumes, the INSAR 2010 review covers a wide gamut of issues and areas spanning from global security trends to challenges to India's internal security to the state of play in India's neighbourhood to issues a nuclear India has had to grapple with as well as a very comprehensive account of the evolution of the Indian national security system. A very interesting experiment that has been reintroduced-after a gap of three years-in the current volume of the INSAR is the National Security Index 2010. Though, as detailed below, the index is not without its problems and requires further fine tuning, it is nevertheless commendable that an attempt to put forth such an Index has been made.
