Evolution of Indian Strategic Thought-1

Not sure what the confusion is of India’s goal of Vikasit Bharat.

Concomitant with prosperity is the means to defend it.

Given recent events, India needs to develop a strategy to deal with decapitation strikes.

India also needs to develop an effective lever against each major or peer power.

For example, India needs to be able to selectively block the Malacca Strait - this is a strategic lever over China.

India needs to figure out something similar to hold over the US (like China’s rare earths chokehold).

And so on.

“We need a lakh drones” is to be facilitated by the Raksha Mantri; but the demand for it has to come from the strategists in the Armed forces.

Further, this polarization that every unmet idea requires a shuffle of personnel is ridiculous. This is not strategic thought, this is Twitter-giri.
