Update: An India Today report, http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/pakistan-army-qamar-javed-bajwa-indian-democracy-book-the-nation/1/886833.html, dated 20-Feb-2017 quotes a tweet by Pakistani Maj Gen Asif Gharoor whose twitter profile states that he is the spokesperson of Pakistan Armed Forces: "News / comments quoting COAS' address to officers at Rawalpindi regarding book 'Army and Nation' is a disinformation.", https://twitter.com/OfficialDGISPR/status/833324851133825026, dated 19-Feb-2017. Note that COAS seems to stand for Chief of Army Staff and refers to Pakistan's Army chief.

Very interesting. The referenced book is: "Army and Nation: The Military and Indian Democracy since Independence, written by Steven I Wilkinson, the Nilekani Professor of India and South Asian Studies at Yale University."

I plan to buy and read the book available in paperback on amazon.in at Rs. 495/-, http://www.amazon.in/ARMY-NATION-PB-STEVEN-WILKINSON/dp/8178244764/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0.
