India has no desire to wage war

[RoYaL~GuJJaR]

India has no desire to wage wars..
it only shows intent.

And that too "Only" when get attacked by terrorists from a foreign country.

 

[rockstarIN]

Billions of dollars in arms purchases are also no indication of intent then.

Self defense, history teach us...if those 'billion' arms never fired at enemy, they very purpose of procuring it achieved at the maximum level.

India is witnessing rapid economic growth and its foolish to wage any war. Indians are always peace loving people. There r few instances that our neighbouring countries tried to destabilize us since we got independence, 48, 62, 65, 71, 99. War and terrorism never bring prosperity, they will lead to nowhere other than a Badge written as FAILED STATE.

Unlike some other country's our defence is not only "Centric" to one country!

We are large country in difficult/complex geo-political area with not so-friendly nieghbhours around us with border disputes.

Hence, it is needed at even larger level then what currently is!!

And you failed to understand the context in which he said that..

Not surprised though..!

Well Positive rational such as this is always an encouraging development for dialogue and peace between the 2 countries instead of baseless rhetoric (between leaders )

 

[LiberalAtheist]

man we stay neutral in every int'l event or problem and don't get involved and we do not exert our influence let alone expand it so how can we have desire for war? the only thing we need to do is build up good defenses and spend the rest for betterment of the nation

The Global Peace Index (used by the World Bank and the OECD), measures countries by peacefulness. And uses both internal AND external indicators.

Our defence spending remains constant as it was for the last 20 years 2.5% of GDP

 

[Nelson]

Not starting the war, not infiltrating into other countries...non violent movements.. the world has so much to learn from India..

We buy weapons to keep pakistan in limit and to satisfy china.

Where it stops being defensive and reeks of hegemonic and offensive designs.
