Under Xi, not only has the PLA been given modern equipment, but there is also focus on creating smaller units – away from the 'top-heavy command structure'.
Sushant Singh Rajput’s death taught us harsh lessons, and exposed our constant need to project the perfect version of our imperfect lives on social media.

For BJP, CAA was strategic move that did not quite work out because those it would benefit could’ve been accommodated under existing laws, and new entrants would remain excluded.
Agree here. Past governments also didnt focus on the military modernisation but they not very keen to use military as political tool. This govt is using military but doing nothing for modernization. I know that we can’t match Chinese plane with a plane – but we are not doing even what we can do. Except those 72k SIG rifles( Negev were order just 2 months back so not counting them), even infantry is in bad shape.
Writer or author is an Idiot. Why you want to undermine the capabilities of our army and put it on internet for the world to know. The Print is absolutely anti-India. No doubt about it. You write anything and everything against the interest of our country and in the end write that the views are personal. What rubbish? Scrap your bloody theprint.in
Are you forgetting UPA standstill under A.K.Anthony.
Are u also trying to demoralize our Army establishment where govt has spent billions unlike UPA?
It appears u are playing into the hands of enemy.
Useless and baseless article with no facts. Easy to blame everything on Modi. It’s because of Modi then we are facing china – as an eye for an eye other wise your masters have always given India on the plate to China. why only 1962, why don’t you say about the period 2005 to 2012 when India lost lands to China and nobody came to even know about it because your Antonia has personal relations with Chinese CPC. And now when India is standing against China then instead of standing with the country you are finding fault. How pathetic and spineless you guys are….. Jai Hind.
Problem: 1: Modi is an ignorant low IQ person with no understanding of geopolitics………….Did he not realize once he made the Aug 5 Kashmir blunder, then any party can make any changes in the disputed territory………..which China is now doing in Ladakh.
Problem 2: CDS who is more political than politicians !!!
Problem 3 : Army Chief …weak as a hen and totally dominated by CDS…………………….hence daily kicks by Chinese military !!!!
Great and genuine analysis of current scenario of military powers of China & India. Hopefully our government takes a leaf out of the page and work towards it.
Chinese forces have killed 20 soldiers using iron rods. Just like radical Hindus of RSS kill Indian Muslims using this favourite weapon of Hindus. Karma
It is surprising that not of the many civil or army experts in Indian print or online media mention Graham Allison’s book “Destined for War” the Part One of which is titled “Rise of China”. Without going into detail it suffices to mention that in 1985 PPP GDP of China and India was exactly equal i.e. $645,565 and $645.568 million respectively (Nominal GDP was $312 and $237 million respectively). Today PPP GDP of China and India is $28 trillion and $11 trillion respectively (Nominal GDP is $14 trillion and $3 trillion respectively).The difference of $17 trillion in PPP GDP by which China exceeds India is a HUGE difference. It is no wonder that India in spite of having a lopsided budget which allocates Rs 700,000 crores to defense and just Rs 69000 crores to healthcare is unable to equal China in armaments. China has hyper sonic missiles while we still trumpet every launch of Agni. According to Allison GDP ” provides the substructure of national power”.
It would be a great service if someone would translate Part One of Allison’s book into regional languages and distribute it among the general public for then the people will understand that there are more important things than Hindutva ,Article 370, 35-A, Gau Raksha , Surgical Strikes, Balakot, CAA, Citizenship register , Ram Temple etc ,etc which need to be mentioned by Politicians in their election rallies so that people can vote judiciously.
People also need to be told about recent genetic work by David Reich which shows that every upper caste Brahaman has Shudar genes and every lower caste Shudar has Brahaman genes. People need to be told about a recent Paper which predicts that in just 50 years from now India will become hot like the Sahara and one billion persons will either die or migrate providing a pathetic solution to not only the population problem but also all other problems that beset India at present be it the Pakistan problem, the China Problem the Kashmir Problem or any other problem.
After indo chinese war when usa threatened to use nukes on china , china themselves developed nuclear missiles.
This led to heavy sanctions on china. China then realised it has to trim its dependency on other countires to minimal level. Since hook or crook all defence equipments use in china have been made in china. They applied the same tactic to civilian world. Now chinese are almost a super powere.
Lets see when does india realise this
