One has to be incredibly credulous to buy BJP spin masters’ argument that the government got rid of Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar for harmonious relationship with the judiciary.
Modi government had also made numerous efforts to establish peace with Pakistan but has now adopted a different path, militarily, to establish peace, adds defence minister.
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.
Please get into the nuances of warfare before making such a broadly sweeping assertion over the subject. Some academic background will be helpful for journalists rather than tagging every item on the earth with the suffix of WAR
The op-ed writer thinks IW and media management is the same thing which is the typical narrow and misplaced view of a media person with little knowledge of warfare. IW also encompasses many other elements e,g, Electronic Warfare especially Information Denial, PSYOPS (eg leaflets being dropped on an enemy/enemy population) and Civil ops like the Sadbhavna type of ops in J&K – on ground activity that is then used to earn PR/goodwill and change perceptions. IW is not pre and post op it is part of every Op.
So this op-ed is actually about media management which of course the Indian military sucks at. But analysis needs to be factual. There are multiple PROs in each service not only Delhi-based PROs where all defence journalists have chai biscuit regularly. There are multiple twitter handles run by the Indian Army, which sometimes do a far better job than the main handle- the awkwardly named ADGPI. All the websites are pathetic, but on the other hand the quality and quantity of documentaries by private players is on the upswing.
What is even meant by the statement that the US, UK, France have common and dynamic policies? Lets come to the point. The US has a specialized job description and cadre called PAO – Public Affairs Office/r across Army Navy Air Force and Marines.. None of the Indian services has a specialized cadre. Mind you it is Public not Press and that is an important differentiation. While the India media cries about not getting access they would be very happy if they had a monopoly on it. A “Public” Affairs Officer also would give the military crazy Indian public a better experience and engagement than the pathetic and limited access and engagement they have with the military they pay for. That is true force multiplier stuff now with SM’s rise.
Balakot is a whole other level of discussion and complexity which reinforces the fact that you cannot divorce operations from IW or media management. Unfortunately, neither Indian media, public nor the military is mature enough currently to have that kind of a grown up conversation.
