INDIA CAN GO TO WAR WITH CHINA saysVice Chief of Army General Philip

[Pakistanisage]

China was there in 1962 ,where was your mighty mard-e-momin army hai ji ?

Pray hard your country never goes to war with China.

If you did, Pakistan will not repeat its great Blunder of 1962.

This time you can be sure that Pakistan will not lose an opportunity in ripping your soft underbelly while you are busy with Chinese onslaught. You can count on that prediction.

This guy has a bad sense of humor and apparently no brains either - India should promote him to Chief of Staff, ASAP!

He suits for FM or PM post.

If India and China have a war, it would have a devastating effect on Indian Economy , not to mention India losing vast pieces of Land in the bargain. Indian forces are no match for Chinese Military might.

And do you think Chinese economy will grow then ?

It seem people have read the title but not the actual contents of the article.

The VCOAS is simply stating the obvious- the two have overlapping interests and are aspirational so there is a chance of conflict (as there always is). He is not saying he would welcome such a conflict but it is his job, as a professional military officer, to conceive of and prepare for every and any threat.


Of course this thread is going to descend into the typical "bash" India thread so I'm out of here.

There are some media houses who love to twist their headlines for the sake of sensationalism -

Some report the events like this >

Make in India: Synergy among all stakeholders needed to indigenise defence production - The Economic Times
Army Institute of Management Technology (AIMT) Pitches for Make in India in Defence Sector

And some as evident like this >

India can go to war with China,saysVice Chief of Army General Philip

And to make it worse - members hardly care for the actual comments made - VCOAS was stating the obvious - the possibility of a war with China which might be rare but it still is and as an army officer one cannot simply overlook it - not to forget our establishment was under the impression that there would be no war in 1962 and we learned the hard way - and as the saying goes - "Hope for the best and prepare for the worst"

If that is the case shouldn't India have lost Sikkim back in 1967?

Chola incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Should have happened in 1962 - though you ended up helping us instead!

Will 1967 was border clash like one happening on loc. It was not a war by any means. Use some decent dictionary putter.

Modi is smarter than rest of the idiots who became the prime minister of India so don't hold your breath high on that. India and China virtually don't have any problems (except for maybe few disagreements in the border) as the media and few internet Indians claim it to be.

India China war is a possibility . Am sure India already prepared .

Chinese onslaught? Did you kids even get a topographic map of our border with the Chinese? Or read any neutral sources of 1962? Well, you do a good job of representing the general level of (in)competence of PA members.

Prepared or not India will stand no chance and there's no point of war when there's very little animosity if exists at all between China and India. Why should India concentrate about going to war with a country that's much more powerful and richer than India while India is just starting the process of industrialisation? Quite sure Modi is smarter than that unlike what the media tries to portray him as.

Chinese Economy is on much more Sound footing. China is a Trade Surplus Country and can weather a War against India better than Indian Economy can. China produces most of its hardware indigenously whereas India Imports most of its Military Hardware and Ammunition. India cannot fight a sustained war beyond few weeks or months before it runs out of Ammunition.

Basically what every military officer in history has stated but because this was made by an IA officer let's just see how much anti-India garbage gets posted here......

 

[zzebie]

India and China have 2 unresolved border issues. Both those fronts have been dormant for more than 2 decades. There is no reason to go to war. It's not in the benefit of India or China.

India China war is a possibility . Am sure India already prepared .

The Indian military is amply prepared to protect all Indian territory of course but that is not the point. The point is that there is nothing remarkable (at all) in these comments and whilst the chances of war will always be there, the overwhelming dialogue between India and China has been positive in the past few years and neither side actually is looking for war. Both nations are on the same page in the sense they want to be left alone to deal with their own domestic economic issues.


As much as the US/West and Pakistan want it war is very, very unlikely to occur between these two giants- both sides are lead by sensible and visionary leadership who are looking to the long term and not short term opportunism.



+ Let's not forget that the military in India have absolutely ZERO say on the national policies of India so what is the IA VCOAS actually saying that is so incendiary? He will look to do his job? The sad thing is this is the one comment that has been highlighted and covered and is pretty standard spiel but the actual meat of the conference (Make in India policy in the defence arena) where these remarks were made have received ZERO coverage and they would surely have made very interesting reading.


Must be another slow news day by the ever more ret@rded Indian media.

The retreat if envisaged as a tactic to advance at a latter date is a valid military tactic. In absence of such, it is equivalent of a military defeat.

Ditto for 1962 where your military 'retreated' back to pre-war positions despite making substantial territorial gains.

I seriously don't understand what is wrong with these saffron indians. Why this obsession with wars with almost every neighbor?

This country is the worst neighbor one can ever have.
