Re: 2021 Strategic and Political Analysis-1
Every now and then there is a huge roar about the advertisement money spent by the Modi govt. Most of the stuff I find is from wire / ndtv stuff. Any pointers to where I can find a more rational analysis of the data.

Re: 2021 Strategic and Political Analysis-1
What should the police have done?? Open fire and kill a few Indian citizens. If you think that is a winning tactic. Think again. 1)For violance from the state to happen.

Mods, apologies for being OT here, but what is the reason for current GOI to not make the Brooks report (at least in parts) public now.
I have never understood the implications (strategic / operational etc ) after more than 50 years of war.
