We will win no wars with old weapons

By Priyadarshi Dutta Stephen P Cohen and Sunil Dasgupta, in their book ‘Arming without Aiming: India’s Military Modernization’ (2010) have focused on the dilemmas of India’s militarisation. The core problem is that India is culturally and socially not a militarised state. While the armed forces are praised and are popular, they are not the fulcrum of the nation. India’s diplomatic and military policies are marked by restraint rather than aggression. They are reflective of Indian mind. Military mindset : Nehru versus Subhash ​ Nehru might be blamed in isolation for ruining India’s defence production. But he was conditioned by the matrix of historical-cultural-economic forces. Should a newly independent nation, not self-sufficient in food production, invest in weapons ? Without building up heavy industries (problem addressed in the Second Five Year plan) self-sufficiency in defence production was a chimera. India had achieved its independence by civil...

Time for India’s Rebirth

Western society today  believes only in “exploitation,” “expansion,” “efficiency,” “competitiveness”—and seeks to transform its members into unthinking cogs in a huge Machine. We will certainly find some remarkable individuals here and there, but the mass is left to live from day to day, with, now and then, the luxury of a fit of depression, when the void in their hearts becomes a little too acute. Or, if it is not depression, it is a bottomless pit of degradation. Western civilization, if it can be given this noble name, was built on cynical greed, with a thin veneer of culture to give it a respectable appearance. Anyone who finds this statement excessive should study the way “leading” Western nations spend their time selling weapons of death to everyone, then sending peace missions to extinguish the wars they started, and more bombers in case the peace missions are turned down. Not to speak  of the countless dictators and terrorists they constantly create, only to f...

ISIS terrorism : India and threat of global jihad

  The seizure of the Iraqi city of Mosul last week was terrorist in purpose but military in design. They were not there just to do random damage and prove their point. It was a well-strategised attack in which they robbed millions from banks, opened gates of prisons, burned vehicles, killed civilians and still earned greetings from a section of civilians. ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria), founded in 2006 under the name of ISI (Islamic State in Iraq), which overran towns and cities north and west of Baghdad over the past week is an unrecognised State and Jihadi militant group in Iraq and Syria influenced by the Wahabi movement. It was established in the early years of the Iraq war and pledged allegiance to Al-Qaeda in 2004. However, Al-Qaeda cut all ties with ISIS in February 2014, after a power struggle. ISIS has gone from strength to strength since 2006 by launching attacks with the strategy to seize resources like weapons, oil wells and money. Their aim is to erase...
