Why India does not have a vibrant strategic culture

[cyphercide]

I think folks are confusing geopolitics for geostrategy. While the two can be observed as heavily interdependent,they aren't perfect substitutes for each other. An all pervasive and intrinsic geostrategic vision, so much so that it could be termed as it's strategic culture doesn't exist in India's case(and India's need for such strategic vision is scant).

Hinduism is the common factor you can notice throughout India our religion holding our nation together. Muslims/Christians rise in India would be threat of Indian unity for sure. Save Hinduism Save India.

yeah muslims and Christians are not Indians....

Are you a false flagger???

atleast we don't blow other castes up unlike shia and sunnis and ahmedis and what not !!

why are you guys fighting by comparing apples with oranges? Shias and Sunnis are not castes, they are religious sects. You can convert from one sect to another unlike the caste which is determined by birth and can not be changed. Pakistan also has same castes as India (plus some additional castes and tribes as they have few extra ethnic groups like Pashtuns and Balochis; plus additional caste groupings like Sayyeds etc.)

you can get tons of news video of dalits and low castes killed in india.

If news about bad things is not available from some country, it may be either because such things don't happen there; or because the news is suppressed. You can't really find tons of videos about whats goes on in North Korea, that does not mean it is a paradise.
These things must be happening in Pakistan too; and on a larger scale since Pakistan has same caste system. And Pakistan is more feudal than India. If you can't find tons of news and videos about plight of lower castes in Pakistan, it just shows that they are so oppressed and voiceless that no one even raises voice for them in Pakistan and Pakistani elites including self proclaimed liberals prefer to cover it up in name of national honour.

Ask most politicians, what is strategy? Theirs would be - how to win the next elections, how to get lucrative contracts, grab land, make tons of moolah from bribes, how to get their progeny into politics to make more money, and commit some murders and rapes along the way.

Who the fu@k knows or has time for the country? I'll bet my a$$ if they have even heard of the word, 'strategy'.

As I said, caste system is significantly responsible for what you said.
.
Along with Caste system, other major reasons for lack of vibrant strategic culture in Indian society may be related to
Geography (nature itself has made boundaries for India so historically, Indians usually did not need to worry about drawing some fine boundary on a map) and the fact that India is not very artificial country. If the existence of a nation is based on some narrow concepts like single language, race, religion etc, they will be insecure about losing their identity and hence are very alert about preserving and expanding it. Indians don't have such identity issues . So Indians never seriously bothered about outside world unless attacked and invaded. If a nation does not have enough resources, they will go outside to buy or loot resources. India most of the time was capable of being self sufficient civilization with available resources so Indians didn't have to hunt for resources all over the world.

The answer to that question is simple. The Hindu believes he has an opportunity to rule Hindustan in millenniums for the first time. As such he is paranoid, confused, over enthusiastic - in short he does not know what to do with himself.

Whenever you make a comment, do you think or do you just bash on India and move on? Please read your post again and reflect if it makes any sense at all.

"The Hindu" believes this and that. The Hindu goes about doing his job just as the Muslim or the Christian does.

As for the strategy addressed in this article, it is more about politics both domestic and international and India's approach to the changing world. Please try to contribute, or just take a hike. These kind of comments, are more telling about you than about "The Hindu".

There is no bashing. Just statement of facts directly and squarely related to the question asked. If you have a point, come out and discuss.

Lets discuss fact. How you come to this conclusion ? How are you sure that Hindu is paranoid, confused, over enthusiastic ? In India there are over 170 million Muslims, what about them ?

Problem is you guys put everything in religious framework whereas in India, we keep religion after nation.

So, either present with some sociological journal research articles, statistics or keep your prejudice based on no observation & just pure speculation, out of this discussion.
