Army Chief General Bipin Rawat, in a strict tone, asserted that India is not a weak nation and will not allow its territory to be invaded. Addressing concerns over the incursion of Chinese troops into Indian mainland, the COAS said, “China is a powerful country but we are not a weak nation.”

Amid increasing efforts from Beijing to create an influence in the region, the COAS said that neighbouring countries cannot be allowed to drift away towards China. The four-star General expressed that the time has come for India to shift its focus to the northern border and added that the forces are capable of handling increasing Chinese advances in the region.

Accepting that the Chinese government is exerting pressure, General Rawat said that if a situation arises the troops are ready. “If things escalated, we are prepared to handle the situation. We are continuously manning the border. Yes, we should try that it is not escalated, we will not allow our territory to be intruded. Troops are earmarked, should a situation arise we are ready to cater,” General Rawat said.
Rawat emphasised that India needs to have capacities to ensure that ammunition can move from one sector to another quickly and assured that government is focussed on it. “We also need to build capacity to move forces from western sector to northern sectors,” he added.

In a positive news for Army personnel posted in Sikkim and along the north-eastern border, the government has sanctioned the much-awaited demands of stylised bullet-proof helmets. General Rawat said, “It is not because we saw a threat, Chinese troops were very well equipped so we felt why not send better quality equipment for our own jawans – better jackets and helmets. It shows that we are better prepared.”

Reacting on concerns over the use of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) weapons the Army chief said, “The threat of the use of CBRN weapons is indeed becoming a reality, particularly as a threat from non-state actors. Use of CBRN weapons could jeopardize life and property and take a long time to recover.”

This is all empty bluster, the truth is the Indian army is like an old clumsy elephant that has no guile or coordination to speak of, even their own defence analysts such as erudite Col Ajai Shukla and Bharat Karnad pretty much acknowledge this.Kudos Rattay Sahib

The only chemical threat to India is Modi farting this might suffocate the Delhi sector immediately.

Especially when he is leading a yoga exercise. It's a yoga ammonium gas.

This is great threat to south asia, he is a ticking time bomb that could fart any time in south asia and places the whole region under chemical threat. This issue should be taken to UN.

It was taken up to UN and UN did it’s job by declaring international Yoga day.

You have eyes/ears dont you? Go check out some of their well thought out videos and articles.
NB: I suppose "GD Bakwashi" is your epitome of erudite.Kudos young fellow

I asked a simple question why are u getting hyper? Btw
Thanks for calling me young, a typical complement at 40.

Gen Bakshi has credentials to back up his arguments and he doesn’t need my endorsement or yours. As far as Shukla is concerned and I won’t delve much into karnad’s work, Shukl is a nobody and just a colonel. His analysis are good only for Pakistanis coz he does makes those kind of points.

But you know erudite is a very respectable word. And he is certainly not erudite. You would love Gen Panag and he could be erudite and you will love him. He is anti establishment currently but I still like him.

If you are looking for erudite then go to news laundry and fish articles called General analyses.

And then come back to me with a re-defined erudite.
