“India would have lost Doklam, Ladakh and a lot more”, Vice CoAS Mohanty tears into pseudo-intellectuals

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

Armchair security experts of the country casting aspersions over the military budget of the country were given a gentle rap on the knuckles by Vice Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General C P Mohanty on Monday (September 27). The Vice CoAS remarked that if India wouldn’t have invested in its armed forces, then the country would have lost the battles in Galwan valley and Doklam against the Chinese troops.

Speaking at a public event, Mohanty said, “Had the country not invested in security, we would have lost probably the war in Kargil, Doklam. Even internal security in Jammu and Kashmir would have been in turmoil. Our northeast region would have been in turmoil and Naxals would have had a field day.”

Lieutenant General Mohanty also added the incidents in Doklam and Galwan has not only enhanced the prestige of the nation but has given the country a ”big stature” in the international arena.

He said, “Today everybody talks about India as the net security provider and it is a security umbrella against a big nation.”

China evaded Tibet because of the latter’s weak armed forces
Giving the example of Tibet, Mohanty argued that “if Tibet had strong armed forces, they would have never been invaded.”

As reported by TFI, Tibet has had a tumultuous history after Mao invaded it in 1950. Since the 1960s, the Chinese government has made great efforts to change the ethnic composition of the region habituated by the Tibetan people.

Millions of Han Chinese were sent to live, marry, and establish a family with ethnic Tibetans. This demographic takeover was done in the name of the integration of Tibet in mainland China as the weak Tibetan forces could not mount a strong defence, unlike the Indians.

India’s Defence spending for 2021-22
Talking about defence spending, the ministry of defence, earlier this year had informed a parliamentary standing committee that in the current financial year 2021-22, the Narendra Modi government has allocated a budget of Rs 4,78,196 crore of defence expenditure which is 13.73 per cent of the total central government expenditure.

The ministry of defence also stated that the amount for capital acquisitions aimed at modernisation of armed forces has increased by Rs 41,463.21 crore in absolute terms since 2016-17.

It is under the Modi administration that the country has truly started to make all three forces compatible with the standards of modern warfare.

Recently, in August, the first batch of India-made multi-mode hand grenades (MMHG), manufactured by a private firm named Economic Explosives Limited (EEL) was delivered to the Indian Army in the presence of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh at a ceremony in Nagpur.

Similarly, the depleted squadrons of the Indian Air force have been given a booster shot with the inclusion of French-made Rafale jets that have been stationed in the strategically important borders of Arunachal Pradesh to corner China.

Moreover, in June, the Defence Ministry issued a tender expected to be worth around Rs 50,000 crores for building six conventional submarines under Project-75 India.

Self-sufficiency in Defence manufacturing for India is critical as India strides ahead in the 21st century in an increasingly hostile neighbourhood. Moreover, developing defence equipment on its own can help modernise the forces as well.

However, modernising the forces requires intensive capital, something which the pseudo-intellectuals generally have a problem with. The same species of intellectuals then question the government for not innovating. The duplicity is what the Vice CoAS has called out in his statements.

What delusional bs

 

[Asfandyar Bhittani]

What does he mean by "would have"?

China controls the Doklam plateau. What India did was stop china from extending the road to the Indian border, which china doesn't really need to anyway and is only 40 meters from the border.
The same is the case in Ladakh where Chinese have gained more territory in various area.

But they arent India's actual losses. What India lost was a stable Chinese frontier. Indian had in the 1990s signed agreements with the Chinese in which both countries agreed not to militarize the border. Now China is building air bases, radar stations, roads, railways, heliports from Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh, forcing India to Cannibalize its western front against Pakistan to bolster its new front with China. From fighter jets to strike corps. Thats the real loss.

Anyway, gracious of him not to mention Feb 27 2019. IYKWIM

The most interesting part is that Indian prestige has increased globally due to the recent Galwan valley clashes.

Well, what do you expect a senior military officer to say in the press. Personally I stopped believing all versions of victory and defeat long back. I have accepted that common man will never know the truth either way. Excessive information has only made things more murky, not clear.

I think Mr. Mohanty is responding to concerns (which I share) that our military procurement moves at glacial pace. He is trying to tell people like me that my being safe is proof to the contrary. I am not convinced entirely. I am not sure if the words 'pseudo intellectuals' and 'armchair security experts' were used by him or appended by the writer, but I'd rather be both than subscribe to the 'shut up, daddy knows best' school of thought.

After, what happened on Feb 27, 2019 or on June 15, 2020 (Galwan clash); Indian military officers are left with only two choices: 1) remain silent, or 2) utter BS.
