Of late civil administration in general and police administration in particular is so much under criticism as never before. The time is ripe for complete appraisal of police system in India, particularly because of numerous and confusing growth of police organizations each deriving its authority from a different source. The present police system of India presents the idea of a many-headed monster which is more hated for its appearance than respected. Poor leadership, overwork, and poor turnout are the major causes of indiscipline amongst police personnel. The public support and backing by the government in the face criticism is a far better weapon than a rifle and machinegun but for securing such support public is also to be trained and educated about the onerous duties and difficulties of police. To make police as an agency of social change, it is essential to reorganize the police system. In this volume, an effort has been made to identify the melodies and suggest the remedies concerning police and society. Sociologists, police officers, press, politicians and public shall find this volume of interest.

The primary right of a national-state is its national existence. All other rights of a nation-state either depend on it or flow from it. This right is known in International Law as the right of National Security or Self-preservation. The national security of a nation-state largely depends on internal security, although the importance of external security can hardly be undermined. As far as India is concerned, its history is replete with instances where Internal Security problems created by centrifugal forces not only aggravate external threats but also paved the way for repeated foreign invasions. To understand the implication of the term 'internal security' one is inclined to refer to MISA, which was enacted by the Indian Parliament in 1971. But unfortunately this has not defined the term although the object of this Act was to maintain internal security. In this volume entitled Challenge of Internal Security, the concept of internal security with its multiple remification are explained alongwith various facts of internal disturbances which has cropped from time to time and the methodology evolved to take problems vis-à-vis the role of police, intelligence and judiciary.
