Regardless of influencing int'l standards, we should 'nudge' products used by Indians to be NAVIC compatible, using the full force of law if necessary.

Nice to know NAVIC cannot be manipulated, jammed or 'switched off' by outside powers at will, particularly in non-peace-time.

IMHO, our big advantage is that our supply lines are rather short and that we have densely populated regions just south of the Himal.

Too many who reject Indic dharma jump to pontificate, condescend, cherry-pick and as you aptly put-it 'shame-bait' us Indics for high-crimes we're yet to commit. Blame the victim is effective only so far, perhaps. Only.
