We don't seem to have learnt the lesson from cyclones Ockhi and Amphan and continue to dump toxic wastes in the Indian Ocean. Our punishment this time could be severe.
The Kra canal project envisages a canal cutting across Thailand, and connecting the Gulf of Thailand to the Andaman Sea. It seeks to offer an alternative route to busy Malacca Strait.
The prospect of a comprehensive military and trade partnership between Iran and China is a concern for India. Beijing plans to invest $400 billion in Iran.
Contrary to conventional wisdom of a dominating Chinese Navy, the reality suggests that for Beijing, South China Sea is primary focus and not the Indian Ocean.
The Navy needs a strategy of distant power projection. By employing a plan for sustained presence in the Western Pacific, New Delhi can show its resolve to Beijing.
Countering China may be harder than India imagines. For one thing, regional countries aren’t willing to support any Indian moves to balance China in the Bay.
I don’t believe that the US-India relationship has deteriorated beyond repair. There are ways of handling Trump, even if the Pakistanis have outplayed us this year.
It all boils down to having the needed funds, which India is woefully short of. The Opposition parties, Unions and other Communists, have continually and continuously worked to obstruct, stymie and gum-up every and all govt initiatives to reform and grow the economy, purely to advance their own selfish political agendas…they couldn’t care less about the country, only what’s best for them and their party.
India should use their bases in Indian Ocean like Andaman Nikobar island to secure the Indian borders also if any friendly countries who can support us letting us use their bases for out military. We can not afford and let China to increase their firepower and capabilities cause We have already lost some land to China and Pakistan if we continue to ignore the threat it will be difficult for our future generations to recover and match it up with the Chinese aggression.
India is the 4th naval power in the World. The 21st century is the age of Supersonic and Hypersonic missiles. None of the enemy ships can come near India’s sea cost within 290 km. The Bhramos supersonic missile range is 290 to 650Km. We may require a few more nuclear submarines. Indin navy has got the best eight, numbers P-81s planes from the USA for surveillance anti-submarine warfare. India has got the best torpedos in the world. (supercavitating torpedo). So this article has not given the true picture of IndianNavy without considering the power of missiles and rockets.
Excellent article and a timely reminder as well. There have been some accounts which state that the Chinese antics at the border are in part stemming from a desire to distract India away from its naval forces.
