What's new

Indian Army's importance has diminished because of lack of wars in 40-50 years: Manohar Parrikar

What is wrong with this guy? Every week his big mouth causes a new controversy, is it so hard to either shut up or be more conservative in your comments?

Modi's ministers are causing controversy after controversy, they are undermining the government and scuttling his overall agenda of development. This is just getting ridiculous now, with every passing week it looks like Parrikar is out of his depth and in the wrong position.
This is pure war mongering man.

This guy may be honest but he cant keep secrets.He went on to say we will use terrorists and now we have terrorists targetting terrorists in Kashmir and everyone will doubt Indian intentions.
 
Initially i thought, its the lack of Hindi that is leading to statements by DM that are becoming controversial.
In his position, he really must be careful with the choice of words. A person of his intellect, surely must know power of words and more importantly power of silence at times.
Indeed, which is why I have said he needs to be more conservative with what he is saying and at the very least his advisors need to do a better job of keeping him away from controversy. Controversy after controversy is doing nothing but feeding the opposition and disrupting the agenda of MoD/GoI.

What the DM's intentions were is rather irrelevant, the fact is he has either intentionally or unintentionally created yet ANOTHER controversy that could have easily been avoided.

It is becoming a near weekly affair now and it is not acceptable anymore, his comments are becoming the news and not his actions and as the DM of India this is a most depressing thought.
 
We have all heard the story of the village idiot who found a glass and wanted to make full use of it, eventually he killed himself by drinking excessive amount of water or the famous old.... empty vessels and more noise, ...you Indians represent these to the full extent. Your own defence minister issues a statement on the standing of IA in public eyes but the weekend warriors needed to drag in Pakistan. Wonder how many times do the Chinese need to mention that they gave you a bloody nose or how the LTTE butchered and humiliated your army when you had full air support from IAF. Do you have no shame how in recent times, twice you couldn't manage to blink an army 1/3rd your size and after a soul destroying 10 months on the border, you had to retreat from the border, again in 2008, after all the bravado, upon realising how PAF was poised to hit back, your much larger air force had to stand down. But hey, forget all that, let's drag in 1971, which happened before our times and not even realising under what hopeless conditions did the PA was left to fight.....even then you needed Muktis to fight along you. !!


:lol:

That is loaded half backed truths or say propaganda to suit your alter ego.



You have no ideas about IA operations in Sri Lanka . IA was there for more than 2 full years. It lost men but unlike Pakistani army stood it's ground, didn't surrender in droves. It broke the back of LTTE , so much so that LTTE was pissed enough to kill the man who sent in IA at first place.

Don't talk about stand offs of 2002 and 2008 to show off your PA's fake bravado. There is something called International pressure owing to which your administration crumbled in 1999 and abandoned her own people by branding them as independent actors :lol:

Don't you think if your country had enough muscles then it would have wrested Kashmir from lackluster IA ?? :lol:

He's coming across as a buffoon.

I guess he is having problems acquiring land for different defense related projects or it may be the effect of on going hunger strike for ORAP . But still I feel he should pick his words wisely.

Yes that is why in his capacity he must stick to stating facts and be categorical.
Off late he is seen and heard too many times as speaking his opinions which are quite likely to be twisted and presented in an unpleasant manner by media.
 
Soldiers were facing immense difficulties because people's respect for the army has reduced during peacetime, he said at a seminar in Jaipur where information and broadcasting minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore was also present.

"I have written to many chief ministers (over defence matters). Some have acted on it and at many places it (response) has ended. The primary reason for this is that we have not been to war for 40-50 years. I don't mean to say that we should go to war. I mean to say that without war the army's importance has diminished."

He said two generations of officers have retired without seeing a war, but that doesn't mean the army should not command the respect it deserves. "A country that fails to protect its army cannot progress."

That's what he said and look how [HASHTAG]#Presstitutes[/HASHTAG] twisted it to give it such a title.:disagree:

That story is pretty similar here too but replace the Indian Generals with Pakistani Generals and Pakistan started 65 war.
 
We should see this statements with a balanced perspective.
Of Course ,except those time of war people ,civilians,dont even care about the Armed Forces and their difficulties.

Politicians including this DM Parrikar are also not that better.
Where is their OROP ?
 
Next door girlie on her monthly cycle again.... first comprehend why there are more illegal Indians in UK, US and elsewhere.... then talk.

Wind breaker I asked you not to eat too much beans. It has the additional effect of inflaming tha irritable bowel syndrome. As for the rest, there are legal and illegal Indians abroad, as for Pakistanis they are mostly illegal only :lol:
 
Army total deployment : 34,000

Casualties in actual war :4000+

Excluding during the 9th month of civil war .



Police : 10-15k

Rest included : give officials,clerics,doc,nurses,civilians included women and children...


Go through the interview of your own Gen shaw.

Recognition of Bangladesh. Ghulam Mustafa, QasimShahzad Gill.

56998 armed forces regulars, 18287 paramilitary persons, 17376 civlians including 4616 Police and 1628 civilian government servants, 3963 others including 6000 women and children.

If we had launched an attack in east Pakistan, your true 'strength' would have been seen.

He's coming across as a buffoon.

So lemme give you the list

Defence Minsiter- loud mouth
HRD Minister (graduate of Yale)- a moron
Foreign Minister- questionable conflicts on interest
Arun Jaitley- fu**ed up the budget
Nitin Gadakari- corrupt and self serving

You really expect much from this government?

BTW I'm more kind with the Def Min. I'd give him a bit more time.
