Unfortunately, I must agree with Philip but I am disappointed with Military leadership also. We must distinguish Military leadership & vision from personal bravery. Indian Generals belong to tradition of Extraordinary bravery. If required then without exception they can lead men from front into ...

Chinis have been able to decimate our manufacturing by offering CCP subsided items, driving the scale in their favor and thereby offering even cheaper. There are alternative to Chinese goods. Just that they are expensive. If these goods are expensive, then our industries will start making them loca...

I really want the Chinese to hang on to F4. That is the only want to remind GoI of the threat from China and need to decouple from imports. If the Chinis go back, GoI will sweep everything under the carpet...and we will be back to square 1. I am pretty sure they must already been thinking about doi...

More than the Chinese exports, it is our guys who have been responsible for one sided increase in imports. The jokers at "Indian traders association" announced that they will not be importing rakhis and it will be a hit of 4000 Crores for the Chinese! Rakhi, a low cost product made of thr...

The problem is our lack of understanding that China is not only using trade for prosperity, it is using it as instrument of "ECONOMIC WAR". No Indian industry will survive this onslaught Just like N3 coined the term Nuclear Ayatollahs, I would like to coin the term "Globalization Moro...

One issue with Chinese Radars, would be, where will they be based?. How will they look "deep" inside India to use long Range S300. There are minor anthill called Himalayas in the way. Whats the disturbance which is caused by Mountains in low level scanning? How well Israeli & Indian ja...

2. All out economic decoupling is not desirable in a globalized world. However, we should being to apply the principle of reciprocity in all our dealing with China.

Atleast on BRF we should not repeat much worn out comforter that Sam got 9 months reprieve, time from Indira Gandhi to prepare for 1971 war, without an important caveat.

Our Policy to vacate Kargill Peaks in winter was to do counter intrusion if Pak occupied something. But Kargill was so extensively intruded on such a broad front that we had to do well known hard work in 1999.

What things did Major Gen Sam Maneckshaw ask PM Nehru when asked to take over Eastern front in 1962 ? Interesting, what did he ask for? Well you fell into the trap. Major Gen Maneckshaw asked for "Nothing". He told Nehru that he was waiting for 18 months to join Action. He went into Opera...

^^^ An interesting question to ask is, when would it be most advantageous to be aggressive? May, or a few/several months later? Till August rain, water, wet, muddy.

I don't think there was Intel failure. We saw them coming immediately. Maximum we would be a day behind. But what to do?, was the issue. No escalation ladder was planned. Now the Bureaucrats have talked themselves into in-action.

Gen. Narasimhan said that they had been discussing strategies about import dependence of APIs since last year. He also said that it's not one sided since a lot of these drugs are finished and then exported to China APIs has become a pretext to sit on our hands & do nothing even in economic fron...

Were we caught napping? Gen Narasimhan mentions in the interview with Mr Gokhle and Gen Anbu that “we picked up Chinese formations but could not match their speed of movement towards Finger 4”. Given that the Chinese have a metaled road while we have a precarious foot track, this is not surprising....

Lt Gen N, seems to be member of both NSAB & CSG. His whole tone & tenor makes me uncomfortable. He does not seem to have any solutions except narrating that historically talking solved the issue. Its interesting to see his style in contrast with Gen Maneckshaw. So I have to agree with views ...

Its largely believed ( I have no source) that Sumurdong Chu is Still in Chinese Hands. Though its also believed that Gen Sundarerji retaliation by Operation Chequerboard & Falcon compensated way more than adequately, area wise.

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...

When we have disproportionate advantage in IAF, we ignore it & feel that Chinese would have figured something out.

So, official brochure of LCA gives One way Range of aircraft armed with weapons rather than combat range? So IAF will fly LCA with bombs & never come back or just bomb on their own airfield?
