There is one more thing. What if we have General mobilisation? Every Indian between the age of 18-55 will be asked to join armed forces and fight for the nation. So every citizen is a potential soldier. And they must take it seriously.

something like Israel a mandatory training of 1 month should be there every year.
We have NCC. We should expand its scope and make it more through. Basic fitness, stamina, nutrition, first aid, discipline, safe weapons handling. Spread it out over 5-7 years.
To Keep An Eye On India, 2 Pak Spy Satellites Launched By China
New Delhi: Highlights
China today launched two satellites for Pakistan that, among other things, are meant to keep an eye on India. One of them -- the PRSS-1 -- is a remote sensing satellite built by China. The other -- PakTES-1A - is Pakistan's indigenously developed scientific experiment satellite. The two were launched this morning on Chinese rocket Long March-2C from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China.
The remote-sensing PRSS-1 satellite can carry out day and night monitoring, and it has viewing capacity even in clouded conditions.
The satellite would be used for land and resources surveying, monitoring of natural disasters, agriculture research, urban construction and to provide remote sensing information for China's "Belt and Road" mega-project. Scientists said it would also help Pakistan keep watch on India.
The PRSS-1 is the first optical remote sensing satellite China sold to Pakistan.
The launch of the satellites marks yet another instance of Pakistan's space cooperation with China, its Number One ally. In August 2011, China had launched PAKSAT-1R, a communication satellite. Pakistan, which already had five satellites in space, lacks heavy duty launchers and satellite fabrication facilities.
Scientists said it would also help Pakistan keep watch on India. India is way ahead of Pakistan in space technology, with 43 operational satellites in space. India also has the radar imaging satellites with all-weather surveillance capability. India used images gathered from its satellites for the surgical strikes it carried out in 2016. Three years ago, Pakistan opted out of India's project for a "South Asia Satellite". Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "gift" to SAARC countries was an extension of his "Sab Ka Saath Sab Ka Vikas" ideology to India's neighbourhood, where China is extending its influence.
The remote-sensing PRSS-1 satellite can carry out day and night monitoring. After a planning meet for the satellite in June 2015, Islamabad opted out, suggesting it had its "own space programme". The Rs. 235-crore communication satellite -- launched in May last year -- caters to Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. The PRSS-1 is the first optical remote sensing satellite China sold to Pakistan. It is the 17th satellite developed by the China Academy of Space Technology for an overseas buyer. Today's launch is the 279th mission for the Long March rocket series. Long March-2C rockets are mainly used to send satellites into low Earth or Sun-synchronous orbits. It is also the first international commercial launch for a Long March-2C rocket in nearly two decades after it carried Motorola's Iridium satellites into orbit in 1999

I get the feeling one of these satellites most likely isn't operational anymore since yesterday....

I think we should also develop non-kinetic means to damage the satellites...
The Sanctions Committee makes its decisions by consensus of its members. However, for a resolution in the Security Council to pass, it needs nine votes in favour and no vetoes from any of its five permanent members - China, Russia, the United States, France and the UK.
last time china did not veto - it put a "technical hold"
Yeah and after 2 technical holds spanning around 9-12 months it's passed unless you vetoed, and since he is not declared terrorist by that committee China had vetoed that proposal 3 times already and no of technical holds can go upto 7 times by now.
China urges US to 'exercise prudence' after fresh move to blacklist Jaish chief at UN - World - DAWN.COM
Now they are threatening US not to expose and undermine China and it's "authority".
When this will go to vote it will require proper veto and can't be put on "hold" for six months. That will be veto number 4 for China and more after few months to stop this proposal under committee 1267 unless they let it pass.
China has least number of vetos till now and 5 vetos for a terrorist will really be blot on the record and India will be justified in future to hurt China when they need our cooperation.
We can argue on the justification of having war, good enough reason or not, but this logic of "if you are not fighting don't ask forces to fight" doesn't sound impressive. He is not paid for this, while many spent whole life of theirs getting handsomely paid for "supposed" time when India had to go to war.
Leave aside, when country go for a war, everyone fights. Not all fights happen at border. Raja bhi runk ban jate hain.
It's funny you bring up the Beslan hostage saga. You should read up on it. Read up on the casualties. The first MSM to go to town pleading a surrender and a negotiated settlement with the terrorists will be, who else, but your favourite UNDYTV.

Indian economy and defence budget can not sustain such masses' training and equipment.
Moreover Indians will not mobilize and I will be rude to tell you why.
My father was recruited in 62 China war while he was doing his diploma in electrical. Got his hand fractured and thus retired from service. He was slapped by the company jamadar while he was removing the hard part of roti from the edges... He yelled "Jawan Rashan kharab karta hai". Thats the story my father told me many times when I was a kid.
Not judging here, merely pointing out that the clamor for a war is limited to a certain segment of society, a very small percentage, who have the idea that winning equals shooting 10 aircrafts down for every 1 of own shot down.
The inability of masses to understand that one can win without killing any enemy astounds me, or that you can win even when you lose one aircraft and the enemy nil.
There is concept called GTI - Ground of Tactical Importance. It is that feature/piece of land whose loss makes your own defenses untenable. In army, you may have an enemy occupying that GTI with maybe 20 soldiers alone (hypothetically speaking as usually it shall have a very strong troop presence due to the critical nature of the location) and you may loose 3000 men capturing it. But with it's capture, you can wipe out all the defences in surrounding areas or may force the enemy to retreat significantly that may result in a situation wherein the losses are 20 for enemy and 3000 for you, but the enemy is in no position to resist your further attacks. Is that a victory or a loss?
Very true and rightly said.
You are neither rude, nor is your English a problem. Chill. You are spirited .. and that is great to see.
You have a point there. But then how about the reverse - let those whose job it is to go to war, decide what is the best course of action & where and when of things? Makes some sense?
War is prosecuted towards attainment of some political objective. May I know what are the political objectives right now?
