Absolutely on dot Ramana ji. This is not only true for Systems but also Concepts. One example is the concept of Nuclear Triad which is supposedly required for Effective Nuclear Attack/Retaliation. I could think of more than 4-5 methods that are much more effective than any of the ones prescribed in Nuclear Triad.
Infact if you ask me our definition of WMD itself leaves lot to be desired, being limited to Nuclear, Biological and Chemical.
The reason for this follower type of mentality can be attributed to the following causes
1. Pacifist and Demilitarized mindset of Indic Population which in turn is a result of sustained Macaulized education over 1 century mixed with Nehruvian/Gandhian legacy of non aggression and eunuchification. The dhimmification process is almost complete.
2. Low amount of self confidence and self esteem amongst Indic population which means continuous need to take approval from White people(Goras). The best way to do this is to simply copy them.
3. The combination of Points 1 and 2 mean that relative to its Numbers, the Indic group will find very few men who have adequate Leadership qualities and can take initiative when it comes to changing Paradigms especially when it comes to strategic and military thinking.
4. The Few original thinkers who do manage to exist, are seldom if ever allowed to participate anywhere in Decision making process due to a combination of Cronyism, Corruption, Stiffling Bureaucracy and Foreign influence(yes it is there).
There are quite a few disadvantages to this follower type approach.
1. India will always be playing catch up to West and China. This will be our default position.
2. India simply does not have Industrial ecosystem, Procurement model or Manpower resources to come out on top in the existing paradigm. The existing paradigm being highly dependent on massive military industrial complexes supported by large quantity of competent manpower. For eg. take the case of Ordnance Factory Nalanda supposed to produce Bi Modular Charge System used in 155 MM Artillery ammunition. The foundation for this factory was laid in 1999. Fourteen years down the line this factory has not produced a single BMCS. The BMCS Plant ( actually a combination of five different interconnected plants ) is non existent to this date. Even the construction has not started. Corruption and flawed procurement model has meant that majority of international suppliers ( Denel, IMI etc) for this plant stand blacklisted as of now.
3. The above means that in the current paradigm we can only fight countries like Pakistan who are themselves dependent on outside powers for their defence requirements. With Countries like PRC we can only fight an extremely limited war and there too we will be at tremendous disadvantage.
4. Additionally since the Indic civilian population has by and large been rendered harmless through disarming and pacifist education/propaganda, even a modest resistance movement of any means is mostly improbable in case of an attack by a superior adversary. Case in point - A country like Afghanistan. It don't have any military industrial complex, has not produced any scientist of note but still has been able to defeat both the Soviet Union and America in last 3 decades (of course with active support from Pakistan). The reason is that Afghan population has not undergone pacifist brainwashing that was applied to Indics and they have access to weapons.
5. The point is that now India neither has a modern military (Relative to the military threats it faces) as of now and nor its population is empowered or geared to fight on its own. We are neither here nor there.
or added the extra zeros!
