Faith in indigenous capability development, bolstered by original, innovative and critical thinking abilities is the foundational pillar for progress. The articles in the book intensely deliberate over the need for developing indigenised solutions for India's problems and lay emphasis on self-reliance and Atmanirbharta as the way forward in defence manufacturing for retaining our strategic autonomy.

Creation of the Department of Military Affairs and the post of the Chief of the Defence Staff is one of the major defence reform undertaken in the recent times. The book highlights the significance of Higher Defence Organisation and the need to adopt a whole-of-nation approach towards effectively harnessing civil-military fusion. It underscores how the Armed Forces are adopting a nuanced consensus based approach towards the creation of the Integrated Theatre Commands and the subsequent advancements in the processes, doctrines and their warfighting strategies.

True reform can only be ushered by changing the old mindset by way of sharing one's experiences. It is with this objective, that the author has articulated his vision and thoughts in this book titled Ready, Relevant and Resurgent. The book provides a cogent viewpoint to the readers as to how the Indian Armed Forces are transforming to emerge as a future ready force and their steadfast contributions towards realization of the national vison of becoming 'Sashakt, Surakhshit, Samridh and Viksit Bharat' by 2047.
