These include the decision not to use overt military force against Pakistan after 26/11 the civil nuclear deal with the United States the border agreement with China the response to the last months of Sri Lanka's brutal civil war and the thinking that underlay India's No First Use nuclear policy. Drawing on his long and distinguished career as a diplomat holding critical positions in India's external affairs ministry and in the prime minister's office Menon considers each situation against the backdrop of India's evolving definition of her place in the changing global landscape. He brings out the history politics and principles involved while examining and dissecting the reasons for the outcome. Analytical lucid and illuminating Choices is an unmatched insight into the intellectual heft of foreign policy decision-making by one of India's most formidable diplomatic practitioners who was actively engaged in these five defining moments.कलम के जादूगर कृश्न चंदर का यह एक बहुप्रशंसित उपन्यास है। यह उपन्यास कश्मीर की रंगीन पृष्ठभूमि में एक मासूम दिल लड़की के असफल प्रेम की अनूठी कहानी को उजागर करता है जो हरेक पाठक के दिल को झकझोरेगी।.
