The thing is, these choices will have to be made soon, probably by what history will term the weakest, most morally bankrupt government and Lok Sabha we will ever see. But after that things will get better and religious vote banks will be less effective.

Re: War inside Tibet - goals, strategies and equipment

Our strategy, for many years has been a choice of 3-
1. Offensive Defence
2. Defensive offence
3. Defensive Defence

China will perform an attempted land grab after the Olympics at 15-20 points while we will give them a bloody nose at 10-12 other points. Lets check back in December on the status.

I mean that we cannot afford to provide the same high level of technology , across the board, to all units- only the US has the resources to do that. Hence, we selectively upgrade in a secretive manner, and leave most to speculation. I say nothing about being pro this or anti-that !

Re: New Artillery Division raised for the Indian Army

The Smerch is 'off the shelf'. The Smerch was first shown off to foreign attaches 2 years ago, at Deolali. My guess is that the tests are to check the performance of special munitions/ rockets that are NOT off-the shelf.
