Irrespective of our response, we have a history of getting surprised. Our adversaries have constantly attacked us, through the gaps in our defense. 62, 65, Kargil, LAC you name it. The current time is far too convenient for Pak-Chini to mount a limited attack to show our place. We got to remember, ...

I am no longer in RM so I feel able to share a viewpoint. Attacks by Pakistan on Diwali have been a regular feature. It is driven by their religious beliefs against Kafirs celebrating Diwali. A deep and fundamental fact that we don't seem to understand Our respomse has been just to match calibre and...

If Japan and China can license build the Kockum engine - we cannot ?! Since you have not visited the righteous babus who work at North Block, you are forgiven for making that statement.

^^^ The silverlining here is a push that might get us private sector capacity. But as the rotors division of HAL is its most sccessful, losing the NUH contest and its big contract for 111 copters to yet more phoreners even in partnership feels very bad. I do trust the Navy though. They have never b...

Manish, These guys while Manoharji was alive were taking regular potshots at him. So dont fall for their tears. Parrikar plan assumedbthere is time. Depsang, Dokhlam, RiaSAT, and Galwan show no time.

Lt Gen N, definitely represents views of CSG. I earlier thought that he was defending the Govt response but now I have a feeling that he is defending views of CSG. He says that Sumurdong Chu has been vacated by China, Has it? Or I heard it wrong? I don't know much about border situations but I know...

May I request moderators to cross post my above post in relavent threads. It would really help to develop an accurate database of productivity of DPSUs.

I came across an interesting report recently that one DPSU in electronics had been sanctioned a lot of money and 500 acres of land for setting up a new plant but spent a lot of it in creating an officers colony with very high end facilities including top class swimming pools etc. Another sanction ha...

Has this group done realistic war gaming ? There is an interesting situation developing vis a vis China.

BSF+ITBP+SSB should be amalgamated. Top echelons commanded by Army officers instead of IPS. Control should be moved to Defence Ministry, DMA. Budget should move also. Training institutions for their officers should be amalgamated to one. Jawan training institutions should be rationalised and regiona...

The IPS sees it self as part of the bureaucracy but also wants the trappings of military - rank badges, stars, flags. Oops, Im sorry, forgot abt you Sir!

^ arre Sahib, why again choose from UPSC? Do we need more lessons on their effectiveness? No such complaints ever come abt these units, which are manned and controlled by Army. But, they were caught young, sent to army camps from recruitment itself, always under the gaze of Army Officers, no room t...

I was asked why I think Muslims mobilise so quickly 1. Conviction - underlying everything is a strong conviction that killing and destroying unbelievers is what God wants. Kafirs are inferior in every way. You will see this pervasive across all levels of society. Infact more in the 'educated'. 2. Tr...

Any thoughts on spinning off a think-tank from BR? Anyone interested in pursuing this thought? That is a super idea.

Only way to stop it is to impose severe costs...sometimes it means letting the retaliation play out. That is the only way of effective communication. In UP CM has used both offensive action of police and legal means to impose financial costs. It has had a salutory effect...atleast for now. Vidurji:...

Again, you raise many valid points. Let me share my experience as a DM. Its usually 'minority' community which riots. Police is usually ineffective. So 'majority' has no option but to defend itself. When they do so, entire administration including SDMs, DM, SP, SSP, sometimes even District Judge de...

When I read the anguished posts on the forum I am reminded of a certain field marshal making the comment that the Hindu moral will not stand more than a few blows.

The statement and followup on it, if any, by itself is not wrong. Gas supply, Road, Healthcare, School, Agri schemes, etc for All are right. The statement is definitely wrong, because it signifies a mindset that bribing folks is the way forward. And that too based on communal lines. Has he uttered ...

This is the kind of unrealistic expectation that will ensure we have nobody left on our side period. Foolishness is of planning.

The situation is concerning so I have decided to share my views as a resident of Delhi and a bureaucrat 1.

Re. bias against non-infantry arms in IA, some of it is a natural consequence of having nearly 30 years of COIN deployment where the majority of officers seeing action come from infantry. But officers from other arms form part of Rashtriya Rifles and see action too. What started off as a correction...

Agree completely

Vidur

Please do not. This will give wrong impression of politicisation of armed forces. There is already much unwarranted and unsubstantiated media noise on that.

I may add that a large part of this attack is coordinated with our enemies especially Pakistan. ACM Dhanoa is also being made a target.
