The Modi govt should not dither in accepting what has happened. A strategic communication is needed to counter China, which is gaining ground with its narrative.
If the LAC crisis prolongs, the satellite warriors will only get better at their interpretations and Modi govt's silence will be seen as capitulation or a cover-up.
Addressing a virtual rally for West Bengal, Union Minister Prasad said India carried out a 'digital strike' by banning Chinese apps to protect the data of countrymen.
China’s military preemption has baited India. A quick and emotional response would be a strategic folly. India can 'counter bait' China by maintaining the 'status quo' indefinitely.
The minister said the government was waiting to see how the Covid situation will pan out since one session will see around 3,000-3,500 people in Parliament.
India buys everything from electronics to key drug ingredients to industrial machinery from China and reducing that reliance won’t be easy, experts say.
India & China's calls for de-escalation are similar to those made at the second round of military talks but implementation is proving a challenge on the ground.
The proposed amendment to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code aims to reduce timelines and provide for a mechanism that involves minimal interaction with the court. It fails on both counts.
Open to public feedback until 26 November, the revised guidelines, among other changes, give CA firms more flexibility to advertise & promote their services.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
War is the last resort. We need to fight for a cause for justice. Not to prove a point. Mongering for war merely created dysfunctional states like pak, NK, Iraq. Learn from others’ failure and father focus on peoples well being instead.
When was the last time China was not on Indian soil? It has been sitting on Aksai Chin and eastern and south eastern parts of Ladakh (Khurnak fort near Pangong Tso) since 1962. So why does one say that they have not transgressed in our territories? Consider the status today – there is a mythical LAC which is open for everyone’s interpretation. China today is sitting on common areas which their and our army personnel would patrol into with mutual understanding. It has still not transgressed into Indian area which is not common for patrolling (and it won’t even think of doing so, thanks to the might of Indian army).
Much more important than informing the people about LAC realities is informing them about economic realities. Graham Allison devoted the entire first part of his book “Destined for War” to this because he felt that US public was ill informed about economic realities about China. How many people in India know that in 1980 the PPP GDP of China was less than that of India( $ 298 and $386 million respectively). At the end of the Narasimha Rao and Vajpayee (India Shining) eras in 2005 the PPP GDP of China was 1.9 times more than that of India.At the start of Modi’s period in 2015 it was 2.37 times that of India and at the start of Modi’s second term in 2018 it was 2.43 times that of India ($25.313.27 and $10401.44 million respectively) and the gap between India and China is widening relentlessly. An article “Seeing Beyond The Bubble in which I had drawn attention to these realities was not published by any online Media including the Print nor have any of these media published their own comparative studies of the period between 1980 when PPP GDP of China was less than that of India to Present when it is more than double that of India. The Nominal GDP of Chinaat present is five times that of India. Without a proper appraisal of economic realities the people are in for a rude shock.
You can see the Wikipedia page on ‘2020 China-India skirmishes’. The only citation of you that appears from you is on 30 June. We had give up on you. You were behind the curve. Thankfully, The Print also published Lt. Gen. Panag, who gave us the facts.
Absolutely correct. China has been expanding into Indian Territory and our PM and his party is busy fighting the opposition. Already Chinese army is inside Indian Territory over so many point but instead of trying to get our land back govt us not even admitting any incursions. History will never forgive Modi govt for this.
Archis Mohan, Ankur Bhardwaj and Mihir Sharma ( ex ) are three journalists from the Business Standard stable whose tweets I read together regularly. 2. Psy ops, mind games, etc, one does not understand. Truth alone matters. If the government will not furnish it, intrepid journalists should hunt and fish to deliver it to readers / viewers.
The problem is with highly centralised nature of decision making in this government. Even the ministers dare not make a statement without the nod of the PM or Amit Shah, what to say of spokes persons of defence or MEA? Since these two seem to be working without diverse inputs, or they are unable to handle all the inputs, we the Indians are mislead, and the enemy takes advantage of the silence of Indian leadership. When dealing with the Chinese not only the words uttered matter, even the silences matter. India should start a diplomatic offensive against china, which has committed enough sins in its foreign relations. India should also conduct a PR blitzkreig.
What is information war done for?

Snehesh, with all due respect, you were the only one that was falling for the Indian government propaganda. Nobody else did.

Enemy is defeated in wars, not by banning apps.
