The quarterly USI Journal is
the oldest surviving defence journal in Asia, having first
appeared in 1871. It is supplied free to all members, and
in an era when there is a feeling that free expression of
views by Defence personnel is not looked upon kindly by
the establishment, the Journal in fact provides just such
a forum, without regard to seniority and length of service
in the Armed Forces, subject of course, to propriety and
quality of the written work. 13,000 copies are printed and
readership is up to 50,000. The contents include articles
on national / global security in general and the Armed
Forces in particular. It also covers reviews of latest
books published within India and abroad, and presented to
the USI. The cost of the journal is Rs. 150.00 per copy*, or Rs.
500.00 per annum**(maximum 3 years), within India and
overseas annual subscription (By Air Mail) is £ 40.00 or
US $
65.00. A 20 years subscription of Rs 10000/***- for units and
formations is also available. Armed Forces units and book sellers/agents are given 10
per cent rebate. An index of articles published in the USI
Journal since 1999 is on the site,
subject wise as well as title wise.
