India must prepare for a two-front war : NSA Ajit Doval

[The Unnamed]

You must be clueless about the poverty and sanitation problems in India today. These issues will eventually tear India apart. But since a big percentage of Indians are illiterate, they don't know any better.

a fake pakistani on the internet with a blonde joke should worry more about pakistan and it's obsession about moving to the west, to get out of pakistan at any cost.

And that's the reason we are seeing a hectic pace in procuring military equipment which the blind men of Hindustan - the Congress - failed to see.

No matter what India acquires, it can never be in a position to survive a conventional 2-front war. As for the preparation, India's Nuclear weapons ensure that no country, atleast not in the neighbourhood, crosses that red Nuclear threshold.

Therefore, I believe India must rather concentrate on building better, friendly relations with her neighbours through bilateral engagements and resolution for all outstanding issues that cause tensions to the point of a possible war. I am sure, under sincere efforts, all 3 countries would be willing to negotiate under mutual benefit and compromise, for a peaceful, strong and economically powerful neighbourhood.

This is exactly what Modi is doing. Poverty is the number one fight the GoI is engaging in but the defence and security of the nation is also the upmost priority. You should really read up on what Modi has done and said since being in office. He mentions toilets before he mentions terrorism in most of his speeches especially those delivered abroad.

Resolution of conflicts, eradication of 'reasons' to be apprehensive about the neighbours is probably the best way forward for India, as well as for Pakistan. I do not include China here because China probably does not count a war with India as anything significant. China prepares for a war with US, if it happens. Pakistan prepares for a war with India, which is quite possible and India prepares for a 2-front war which it cannot survive. I mean India can not really just brush aside a war with Pakistan let alone the though of involving a full assault from China as well. In a scenario like that, India would be crushed, to the point where she might be tempted to go Nuclear.

So, my friend, peace is the only real guarantee.

What the hell is he doing? He is meant to advise the PM on security issues, not to address the media, to confirm things the government knows or do, nor should he be talking about any economic or foreign ministry related topics, since that's non of his business!
There are ministers and ministries that are responsible for these matters, which release informations after interactions with the forces, or the related departments. It gets more and more evident that the PM is using him to voice his opinions, alongside the responsible personell.

Wow such expert, much hypocrisy.

II that's the case Super power america has seen e raise of homeless people and huge unemployment rates yet you spend trillions on military an as a foreign aids and war . US must withdraw it's troops from all around the world an feed it's poor

US Wars and its Military equipment sales generate a massive amount of funds for the US exchequer. Most of the countries where US stations bases actually pay the US Government handsome amounts of money. And all US wars result in eventual award of resource extraction to US companies or their subsidiaries. In the long term, all wars result in financial benefit for the US Government.

The same can not be true for India under any and all circumstances.

India cannot match China's firepower and everyone knows it but that does not mean that they should not prepare for the worse....As China becomes more assertive India will eventually develop its armed forces to counter them....But China has lot of problem with its neighbors with Vietnam, Philipines, Japan, Taiwan etc etc..so let us hope that China does open another front to itself.....

And India is preparing for two front war means it is bad news for Pakistan...Because a decade ago India was arming to equal Pakistan or outgun Pakistan...But now Indians are arming to equal China which means more sophiticated weapon and systems and stratergies....Which Pakistan cannot afford....But Pakistan has always been a base for superpowers, first it was USA now China....Definitely Pakistan new masters will help them in case a conflict but to what extent is the question.....

 

[anniyan]

We need to prepare for war on all sides...include Sri lanka and Bangladesh in future.....

 

[FullMetalJacket]

I really wish outsiders would see India's point of view. Firsty, you have an islamic state in the north that simply cant let go of kashmir and is working on destibilize IoK, and always harass is near our borders. Then you have the commies to the east, that can't seem to recognize borders at all and are just itching for a war. The you have the bangladeshis who are pretty harmless except for the border hoppers. When you realize the position India is in, a multiple front war is a possibility and should be instituted in a defense plan. Modi is trying his best to balance civil instracture with defense infrastructure, and you can't blame him for going wrong.

All matters related to security are the NSA's business

=>

the NSA was keen to reinforce Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s plans for a new economic paradigm.

So he is not talking about things related to his business and even you stated in earlier discussions, that his job is only in the PMO and to advise the PM. Which I even agreed, but that's not what he is doing, since he is talking about things that he is not responsible, but mainly to promote the PMs views, but that's not the job of an NSA, that's why what official spokespersons do.

Maybe you have forgotten but John Kerry spoke with NSA Menon on the Khobragade issue.

Besides that he is Secretary of State, he was talking to the Indian government on behalf of the US government, but didn't stated Presidents Obamas views on that or any other matter to the media right? He even stated precisely
that he don't want to interfere with the work of the Justice Department (which were resposnible for the issue) and moreover who was the leading official on the Indian side for that matter? The Foreign minister or the NSA?
You example is even showing the problem now, because there are responsible ministries, departments and officials to deal with or talk about such matters in public and other officials should not interfere.

The point is you have an idea of the NSA's job that not many share.

No, the point I have is that he is not higher than the ministers in the dedicated ministries, that his job is mainly limited to defence and the PMO and therfor he shouldn't interfere in business of other officials or ministries, when he is obviously not giving offical statments on behalf of any ministry, but only on behalf of the PM. So he should make statements to the public only on security matters or divert them to the officials in the MoD, since they are responsible for that. Just as any matter of foreign policy, must be dealt by the foreign government officially, like it was done during the hostage issue in Iraq, where the Foreign Ministry was the responsible one and issued all official statements, while the NSA did his job (very effectively as we know now) in the background![/QUOTE]

India need to take on weaker and helpless neighbors to show that it's strong. Such as absorbing Hyderabad and invaded Goa. India need too info those wrongs.

Yes!, Yes!

We are evil imperialistic.

And USA is willing to supply us state of the art weaponry to achieve the same

USA has no concern towards South Asian neighbors of India and China or Pakistan.

How cruel this world is

 

[My-Analogous]

Ability to fight 2 front war and winning are two different scenario, every nation have the ability to fight multiple front but to win one I haven't seen it ever happen.

Check Saladin, he did that

 

[Shariq786]

so you know an indian army commando and he told you that pakistan army was well professional!!!!???
could you pls name that IA commando??
and despite well trained, well equipped, the professional army of pakistan measurably failed in kargil war... can you tell me why???

kargil war failed yes for INDIA it did because it had so many caualties on its side lost a few aircrafts and helis and thats why after kargil you goverment poses emergency on coffins

 

[Shariq786]

Now Now Now one more .....

Mr Or Ms Yank - Your comments are based on Pure BullShit

a) Hyderabad and Goa were part of Indian Fedration and we have every Right to take them back. Your Nation Snatached Texas from Mexico and you talk Rubbish...

b) In 1962 Indian Armys Total Strength was 80k which fought against PLA with Strength 1.2 Million. In 62 War Regiments Light Kumaon stood till last man standing Even Brigade Commander and his Cook Stood Till Last. We are not like American Army or Pakistan Army where they run for cover.

In Vietnam war there are countless instances where your soldiers left front and Ran. Pakistan Army in 99 Kargil war even abandoned their Dead Soldiers and US has done the same in HAITI (When your marines were lynched and hung on Poles).Compare 80k to 1.2 Million Ratio for 1962 War. PLA has Till date just Won one Battle that is 1962 They Lost in Korea, They Lost in Vietnam they were Ripped by Russian in Border War.\\Are you even Aware what you are Talking........

Do you know Till date Great PLA has not disclosed WAR losses in 1962 War when they fought with a "Tiny Army"

c) 1967 and 87 Border Skirmish with China. Ask PLA they damage they were given.

d)1980 India Supported Tamils in Lanka as they were exploited by Buddhists in Sri-Lanka read of 1971 Massacre of Tamils in Lanka. Yes we supported LTTE by giving them arms and we were also at forefront to clean them off in 1987.

e) 1965 We washed Pakistan and 1971 Pakistan was Rinsed.

f) Indian Army Stands at 1.4 Million Today and we will bring Chinese to their right place.

g) It is America who is requesting Indians Support to balance Global Power Balance.

h) Did you Forget the Mess made by US in IRAQ...
i) Did you forget Libya.
j) What about HAITI...Marines were peeled off.

Please talk sense America has been most selfish and Shrude Nation. You used Pakistan like your keep and now its treated like a Door Mat.

Only issue India had was after Indira Gandhi we didnt have leader of Stature to put Pakistan and China in their Right place.

Till May 2014 this year Pakistan used to start Border skirmishes to send in Terrorists in India. Now they start the Border Skirmish and we end at our will. They have been running to your Door for cover and we understand your Rant.....

No Wonder Mr Obama, lame duck president is Visiting India again on 26th Jan 2015.
We know How to behave "Sunny Jim" rather than being a Push Over STATE.

till when would you deny the truth that 2 wars were won by india 2 by PAK 1965 and 1971 won by INDIA and 1947 in which we took half of the kashmir from you and which couldn't take back till yet and in 1999 when you declared emergency on coffin makings in INDIA cuz the casualties of INDIAN soldiers were at its peek even then you buried some bodies under the ice because you had no way to transport them go and read for yourself great INDIA you were ruled by muslims for a 1000 years so much for a GREAT INDIA 70% of your population doesn't have a bathroom to pee and poo and that is how great is INDIA come on get some facts before comparing yourself with others
