India is trying to play it like poker. We have forces in region, we are holding talks and we are building world opinion. Which card we'll use is the mystery.
Trouble is past experiences suggest India wont use the military option or if we do we ll make some noise and call it a day. And this is why Chinks think they can push us.
I think this is a very unfair assessment on the MEA, especially the present EAM, Jaishankar. Diplomacy requires one to be way vague and soft-spoken than let's say the COAS. Jaishankar is assertive yet not belligerent which is how it should be done. I have watched at least 15 interviews of Jaisahankar sinch he became EAM and one thing that I am noticed is that he is way more assertive and articulate than our former EAMs and he is also very unabashed in defending the Hindutva agenda too! In case some of you don't know his father, K Subramanyam is responsible to a great extent for whatever assertiveness and pragmatism we have in our nuclear and strategic policy and from what I have gathered he has been influenced a lot by his father's world view.At least the Armed Forces are Very Clear and Certain about the Two Front Situation becoming a Reality
MEA can keep talking about its stupid dreams and philosophies like A Multi Polar World
All wars which India has fought always had two front scenerio. Pakistan was broken into two in 1971. Till than we always had two fronts in every war with Pakistan.![]()

Indo-China face-off: Army stocks up for harsh Ladakh winter, with Chinese troops yet to disengage | News - Times of India Videos
An Army marches on its stomach, but also needs specialised clothing, prefabricated shelters, Arctic tents, fuel and other equipment to sustain itself through the harsh winter of a super high-altitude region like eastern Ladakh. The Indian Army has kicked off the process for this massive...m.timesofindia.com
What do you think was Modi's message to the general public before Surgical Strikes and before Balakot?India had more than 50 years to prepare and yet we cann't sustain war for more than 14 days. Someone dropped the ball hard.
I doubt its enemy, more like general public.

Meanwhile Ajit Doval went to Pakistan during last couple of days for secret official tour. Question is why???
Opportunities have been aplenty. We've yet to capitalise on them. Unfortunately, I'm not too optimistic about us doing so this time too. Compared to what a Mexico or a Vietnam or an ASEAN minus Vietnam or even a Bangladesh would get , ours won't be anything worth boasting about.
who gave you this information?Meanwhile Ajit Doval went to Pakistan during last couple of days for secret official tour. Question is why???
All wars which India has fought always had two front scenerio. Pakistan was broken into two in 1971. Till than we always had two fronts in every war with Pakistan.
In 1965 , 1971 & 1999 , we had to contend with the Chinese too . They made threatening noises in 1965 , in 1971 , the erstwhile USSR served to distract them & in 1999 , they seized part of the Fingers area where they subsequently went on to build black top roads.Pakistan never had any serious thought to defend the East. GHQ adopted the theory - Defense of East lies in the west.
During 65, Eastern front was poorly defended and this was exploited well by Awami League.
In 1971, Pakistan ended up splitting its forces between the two sides.
A two front scenario that is the focus of interest today is Pakistan bringing its entire weight on the western border (not splitting it into 2) and China bringing in its Western Command into play.
Sir, IMHO, the price for dealing with different problems is different. Price for dealing with Pakistan once, for instance, is a tactical coordination with US. Price for dealing with China for a long term is a strategic realignment with US. Given the two devils we are facing, I will take US any day over dealing with China by ourselves. At least for the coming next 20 years.
India does not have what it takes to develop its MIC and deep-state with willingness to take even a defensive position with respect to China. Given that situation, the next best thing is to be in an alliance where China will avoid a direct confrontation with you. Sure, you will be facing Russia in that case as well but IMHO, its better to have a treaty bound alliance than to have the wishy - washy alliance where you need to run to Russia with lollipops of emergency purchases everytime Beijing gets PMS.
Would have been ideal if we had our own industrial complex supplying our forces and our bureaucracy acting proactively. But then, we wouldn't have been Indians, don't we?
India has "core interests". Sorry sir, when did that happen?
As much as I know, India has no national interests that it actually pursues. Majorly, there are interests of cabals in India.
