While I agree with @Editor_Orbat
on many points raised by him, we cannot raise 2 armies - one solely for China and other for Pakistan.
- We need a strategy of holding off one, while taking on the other.
-Create swing troops which can be shifted.
2/ Rohit is postulating exactly the strategy Indian army has adopted. Idea is to defeat Pakistan, which will require reinforcing divisions from the northern front, then shift divisions (including at least 6 infantry) and armored brigades to the North.

3/ The problem is that Pakistan and China will act together, and we cannot defeat Pakistan in 10-days (or whatever the current fantasy is). For one thing, Pakistan has anticipated and prepared for Cold Start (or whatever the current name is). It will take 90-180 days. Meanwhile,

4/ China will reinforce Pakistan with airpower, SAMs, Marine and Para brigades, and attack us in the north. Rohit's strategy was used by the Germans in WW1 and it failed (Russia one front, France the other). we can discuss why, but I suspect our readers already know. The other

5/ problem is that for 2 front to work, you have to give up ground on one. GOI will absolutely not agree. Etc etc. All there in the new book, which is with the publisher who is editing it as we speak.

He is still in the pre-information age. WW1 was in a completely different time. Tactics, training and technology were completely different.
And then, he's decided to neglect the capabilities of the IAF entirely. Today A2G weapons and even artillery can hit moving targets.
Finally he's not considered logistics, which is quite surprising. And the fact that the supply chain can also be bombed, like what happened during Kargil.

WW-1 was an analogy. Having said that, he isn't in a minority when he says we won't win a 2 front war. Not unless it goes nuclear in which case there won't be anything worth winning.
A2G & artillery could hit targets 50 years ago too.
Attacking logistics is a 2 way street.
Finally, this gentleman is 70+ & has spent more than half his life studying our security policies , military, it's philosophy, equipment, orbat , etc apart from being commissioned by the MoD (?) to jointly author 2 books & several others he has penned & published over the decades on these very subjects. He has a PhD & was in the process of completing a couple of more which weren't awarded for want of submitting a thesis.
You think you know more than him. Feel free to join issues with him on Twitter. Either you'd teach him a thing or 2 (highly unlikely) or if you have the humility (extremely doubtful) you'd learn a thing or 2.
Well I also thought about saying the same thing, having read his previous analysis on twitter and type of response he got from like of Panag and even our @Falcon. But then, you beat me to it.
I have posted another tweet which gives the satellite timeline. Yes, it's and old and existing graveyard, however one block area graves were made recently. You can refer to that for more information.
