The Pakistan Army has travelled down the strategy lane with a martial pride and hubris that made them believe they were the best fighting army of the world.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
Capable of being fired in plain and high-altitude areas, it has day-and-night capability and two-way data link to support post-launch target, aim-point update.
As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
Pakistan continues to exist through the skin of its teeth. It survives by increasing its “nuisance value” to the region. Its dismal economic condition forces it to perennially seek and maintain patrons to bail out its economy. Currently CPEC, crucial to the CCP’s vision of BRI, has given Pakistan leverage with China. The tail may be wagging the dog as there are some indications that the CCP may have initiated the border dispute to ease the pressure on Pakistan on its western front in order to enable terror inside Kashmir. As Pakistan can rely on weapons supply from China, its “mischief” value remains. But that is it. There is nothing it can do to wrest Kashmir from India and, frankly, the Valley’s Wahabis can shriek till the cows come home; not a thing is going to change. When Islam was ascendant lands were taken and people were converted. The tables have been turned now. The age of reason has triumphed over fanaticism. No amount of terror will change this.
Just Google Pakistan. Most of the news results are on Indian websites. As a Pakistani, while I find this obsession flattering, I also think it’s unhealthy.
I wish we can be friends one day. Unfortunately that day does not seem close. Peace out.
Well nothing to feel flattered about – no other country is interested in Pakistan and Pakistan doesn’t have adequate number of news outlets. Frankly, majority of Indians won’t give a hoot about Pakistan had it not been for constant nuisance factor.
The gentleman ends with: “I hope democratic ideals take root again…” Military men are reputed to be a bit thick between the ears. It’s one of their charms. The core issue eeith Pakistan is Kashmir. What “democratic ideals” dictate a nine to one ratio of occupying force?
Core issue is reestablishing “Mughal ” rule. Kashmir is a means to such end
Very well said.
Problem with Pakistan is that their Generals are totally cut off from the idea of welfare of Pakistanis.
It is, as if, a group of medieval rulers, has set upon the throne and can not care less about people and will stop at nothing to preserve their hold onto power.
Period.
The author is painting a very rosy picture of the situation, being a former Indian army general he doesn’t critically assess the role of India.
For example, India’s treatment of its minorities in Kashmir doesn’t need an outside force to fire them up against the state of India. Nor is the role of India’s intelligence agency RAW examined, it is an open secret in intelligence circles that RAW forments unrest in Pakistan’s Balochistan province and has provided support to elements in Pakistan that promote Sunni shite violence yet the author fails to mention this and instead points the finger at Pakistan. This is laughable to say the least.
The fact of the matter is that India does all of the above that the author accuses Pakistan of. Yet, the narrative presented to the population is that the Indian army is a defensive force, the victim of Pakistani aggression, Kashniris love the country because they are given so much freedom and that Pakistan is brainwashing them into rising up against India and that Muslims are hell bent on strapping bombs to themselves for the sake of attaining heavenly perks.
When the so called general analyses the situation without his army hat on then the article may be considered analysis until then I would present this as another example of propaganda and if it makes INdian’s feel good then so be it but I would recommend a bit of independent and unbiassed research and understanding of the situation.
Whatever you are whinning for, pakistan is on it way to implode from within. Forget about jammu kashmir, by end 2020 pakistans total debt will exceed thier GDP… insolvency on its way
hold your horses first, the baloch, sindh, gilgit and all. People are revolting from within for freedom from oppressio. Just wait few months and gilgit balkistan goes to rightful legal owners. 20Nov2020 to 30apr2021, that issue will be solved once for all…
Wherever Muslims are a minority, there is a problem, be it in India, Chechnya, Xinxiang, Philippines or anywhere else.
Pakistan Army is an army for hire run by Middlemen. For some time they did make money from clients like the US and Saudi. But the Chinese will not let that happen but take away everything leaving them naked.
What is Pakistan fighting against us for? They make no money out of this war, have no capacity to rule if they capture territory, no organization other than to ill-treat the population of captured territory, but the pot must be kept boiling. The entire nation has been converted into a terror outfit with WMD capability, to be able to terrorize any part the world that will pay them. The nuisance value to India will continue so long as we have their supporters within but a direct confrontation is unlikely post Balakot even in case of a two front situation.
The changing generation and prospering economy in India will reduce the Pakistani support base which was overlooked by successive dispensation for both corrupt and power considerations. The discontent within Pakistan from different parts will only increase because the Army middlemen come from one part only and the rest of the army is cannon fodder which may become a problem to contain within Pakistan.
For various reasons, to start with the non-alignment and Panchasheel we did not bother to strengthen the Army and subsequently under the same garb it became a money making racket. If this was to have been compounded by repression we would have our Indian Spring, an uprising with no defined leadership or concrete program, leading to utter chaos. Armament Industry worldwide making money for years.
You can strengthen your army to the level of your economic conditions, if you do it beyond your limits you ruin yourself without any opposing army. Our priority should be economic development.
The moment, the Pakistani army’s control comes under some Jehaadi type Generals from the present western style officers, the first casualty will be the Pakistan’s modern western type society and then we will have a medieval style force, like that of Chengis Khan on our side, ready to do anything for the sake of Islam. And we too have such elements in India to support them.
Hail Pakistan, the new super power of the world. What a silly article, one more super weapon the author missed in Pak hands is ” Begging Bowl” with which they go around the world asking for alms .
If what is happening in Pakistan is Pakistan generation warfare, then the situation in Afganistan, Iraq is 7th gen warfare; and situation in Syria is 8th gen. That if you do nothing but fighting constantly then you’ll become battle hardened and improve in battle generation level. No civilized country really should make such things as its objective.
i fully agree with your analysis. but we indians are not able to formulate a suitable strategy to retaliate it. the hatred for one individual among the intelligentsia and the consequent paranoia is the reason behind it. we are weakening our own country by raising the bogey of a militant uprising hindhutva,
This is an interesting article. But I would believe that the type of war that has been unleashed on us has got to do more with religious belief.
However, it is necessary to devise our strategy for a multi dimensional war. Unfortunately we do not teach military strategy in our colleges, and our soldiers may gain competence through field training, which would essentially deal with combat.
We must set up an institute for strategic studies which will not be populated by retired generals and bureaucrats, but would rather contain scholars and practitioners of psychology and military history.
Such staff would be responsible for charting out the dynamics and philosophy of different societies and religious groups and devise strategies for conducting ” bullet less” wars through mind control of the enemy. I am sure that we must have an abundance oof such literature.
And for God’s sake, do not keep praising Chinese techniques. They are a civilization which has seen considerable defeat and humiliation in the past.
Writer (and whole India) has missed the huge elephant in the room, its the Zionist Jews controlled US that is conducting 6G warfare on India to groom it for a series of specific agendas. American Jewish Organization & US National Interest have openly advocate India & Israel axis are future of US.
What does poor & filthy sh*thole India Trumps so openly despised has to have such great honor bestowed by powerful Jews deep states that control the world through US-USD?
US Wall Street jew cabal Rothschild, Morgan, Goldman, Rockefeller, …are openly grooming India economy through their controlled fortune1000($150Trillions), military & international standing for last 2decades, esp after getting Modi RSS elected with Israel campaigner help. West media is shaping India culture, cultivating extreme nationalism and vehement hatred towards China & Pak heading for a disastrous war, thus to weaken China, and destroy its BRI(CPEC) that challenge Jews unipolar hegemony.
Numerous Indians are installed as prominent CEO of many Jewish cabal controlled West Corps, as USNato gov ministers & spokesman(now even future US VP Kalama), academics chief, think tanks, in UN, etc. are all to hype up jingolistic Indians egos so India will be deluded that they are superpower to take on China.
Has anyone ever wonder why no Germans(aveIQ 101), Chinese(107), Jap(103), SK(103), Singaporean(109) are appointed enmass to West Corps & gov, but specifically only Indians of aveIQ82, ranked BOTTOM LAST in 2009 PISA test? Are Indians truly smarter than all these nations that produced the world best enterprises & technologies?
Btw, China & Chinese majority Spore are ranked No.1 & 2 in PISA TEST & IQ, with HK, Macau, Taiwan ranking Top10 similarly. All Chinese majority nations are so well developed are no coincidence. Yet why they don’t make a cut in West Corps?
Why would US risk outsourced all its IT, data & call centers to India of inferior workforce speaking Indian accent Indish, with broken infrastructures, to later shifted to Asean after disastrous result of poor service & data thief? If Indians are indeed IT talent, why have we not seen a SINGLE great Apps, software, gadget, technology, unicorn, …from Indian/India?
93% of India graduated engineers are deemed unfit for job(quote India IT CEOs, TOI), 60% Drs are quacked, the rest fake(quote India ex-Health Minister, Reuters). 40% Indians are illiterate(India definition: can’t write own name), 50% badly educated(Ranked bottom as PISA TEST proved), Top2% migrated permanently. 800Mils depends on agriculture, 200~400mils lived in slums with 740mils still defecating outdoor. So what kind of labour quality is India having for US high tech to so eagerly transfer over, even outsourcing ill fated Boeing 737Max software to two India companies(Reuters)?
Only Tim Cook told Obama frankly, jobs arent returning because US has no skilled labour to make iPhone. He said its not about labor cost, but China has 98% literacy, producing very high quality 8xSTEMS of US and 4Mils of great IT developers. If US labour can’t compete, what’s more for India’s.
India GDP per cap is lower than even Bangladesh now, well below Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, and soon Pak & Nepal will surpass India after China BRI start. India ranked bottom in hunger index, high in crimes and corruption. Its globally ranked No.1 in violent rapes by 500 independent experts(Reuters). Its gov, courts, police, army, infrastructures, healthcare, education, …are all broken. Yet West MSM are always hyping India as greatest democracy nation to be next superpower.
Jewish cabal Sassoon, Meyers, Rothschild, etc had Brits Raj to colonize India for opium selling, used as war sepoy to invade whole Asia including China(8 Alliance opium war),..They had never shown any kindness to Indians during colonial era, that Churchill so despised to kill as pest by Great Bengal famine. Why would these jews cabal suddenly advocate Indians as their greatest natural ally for future, rendering so much attention and resources?
Its all about Jews replacing discontented US-EU whites awaken to their excessive exploiting usury like Romans-Russians-Germans had purged them, with more obedient(foolish) Indians, so to fight China to the last Indians for Jews perpetual hegemony.
This is India’s greatest war awaiting, not its neighbors that Jew controlled East India Company had wilfully wedge a border disputes before granting independent, a tactic Brits colonist used in every colonies.
Indians r quite I mean gone very quite after reading your article (truth) if they understood the English .. lolz. No one dared to reply?. The writer seems to be still in his uniform despite writing retd in front of his name. Looks he is lecturing his demoralised army before starting another red flag operation. The problem is the mindset of the writer, country which is 10 times bigger cannot control pak. Just learn I would say from Pakistan
What a silly article….the author slogged through so many concepts….all hallucinations.. War needs a decisive committed leader, take it to its logical conclusion , but rationally. That Modi will teach a Pakistan a lesson, with or without nukes is a bygone conclusion, the volume of punishment, the scale of punishment will change according to the dynamics of the war, but the punishment will be meted out, just the timing needs to be decided, it could be as early as China taking on Taiwan in 2021 or due to the arrival of the first 2 S400 batteries in 20201, Fought in first generation style, of our se in a networked smart environment with smart weapons. PAF chief acknowledgment . There will be blood spilt, but you need to break eggs to make an omelette , if Modi can’t do this, no Indian leader will do it for the next 100 years…that decisive moment since 1971 has come, and everybody is aware of it, including GHQ Rawalpindi
Well, Pak is succeeding in its 6th generation war and ulterior motives because of Inida’s recent record of treatment of J&K and the Muslims in general. Until 2014, we could legitimately defend India’s posture in Kashmir. At least theoretically. Now no more.
Jihad is not tactics,, it’s strategy,, Rajnikanth’s political entry is tactics- making his movie box office hit is strategy
” Pakistan happened to be the land of my forefathers ” – says the author
And no Pakistani seems to consider India the land of their forefathers
You can keep hoping while nothing changes for the next 100 years in South Asia. Generations will come and go and we pontificate the whole world from our arm-chairs while the whole world focusses on concrete action and implementation. Authors like these are empty cannons who have a lot to say and very little to do. Making India Strong is hands on hard work not just empty flubbing. What has “The Print” done to move the needle beyond pontification?
Balochistan is NOT Pakistan!
We Baloch will fight to the death for freedom from Pakistan!
Allah u Akbar!
You are obsessed with such a small country because you can afford to… but when a bigger adversary stares you down like recently, you cower and look for escape routes to justify your misery.
U give too much credit to a failed state…
Pak has lost all its wars with india brutally….so much… for their war fighting abilities and capabilities…AFG was won against russia by the mujahadeen and US./allies and partly due to certain compulsions on the part of the USSR…
pak was just a conduit..that nation is doomed..and bound to fail sooner than ever..it will explode..its a ticking bomb waiting to blow..
How bharat manages to withstand the shockwaves depends on our counter strategies…we have given too much leeway and bandwidth to the paks…for them to indulge in this so called hybrid,5th 6th gen and asymetric warfare etc..and what not…
If and when the PM signs on certain “execetive orders”…that nation will BURN…
Small sparks r visible in baluchistan and sindh and recently in wasiristan…political movements in pak & pok and abroad ve been mobilised..we just need to fire it up
6 years have been utilised in creating “assets”
On ground…
Last ex….were…
the khalistan movement which was extinguished by narasimha rao..
Karachi was made to burn by rajiv gandhi by using CTX teams….the point is we have to up the ante..and make the cost exponentially high…not proportianate….pak has a lot of faultlines..to b exploited..its the PM who needs to take certain calls..and its urgent..as both china and pak ve collusively upped the ante…contrary to general perceptions ..both these countries r scared of the rise of bharat now…china has upped the ante..now its our turn to do it…green shoot is
the formation of QUAD…(again its more of a “holistic” front with broad parameters ranging from economic diplomatic ..covert intell ops..) against china..having a small military component in it but with a lot of teeth in the coming times.
Hopefully and probaly some movement in TIBET..
Tiawan is an idea in motion
and if the PM is ready to take a leap of faith then…Xinjiang (with covert support from kazakhstan and russia).
Another 2 years and pak will be left way behind in all spectrums vis a vis bharat..
Aftr 3 years it will be a race to achieve parity with china albiet in “certain areas”…
It all depends on our pradhan sewak ji…on what “steps” or “strides” he wants to take in this regard…as china policy was/is very close to his heart.
Very good articles series. Alld four articles were interesting reads. The way writer has explained the different aspects of modern military strategies and how they all interconnected was really informative. Hope he will continue to write more such articles.
