India’s military modernization program seems to have come to a halt due to a shortage of funds. Earlier this year, the Vice Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Sarath Chand, told the standing committee of Parliament that there was no money in the budget to pay for existing modernization schemes.
India has traditionally prepared for a two-front war, with Pakistan to its west, China to the north and the east, and an armed insurgency in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. India’s military is still largely equipped with armaments from the 1970s.
For decades it has been seeking a major upgrade to deal with rapid modernization of its traditional rivals. The Doklam crisis in 2017 forced India and China into a 72-day confrontation. But the Narendra Modi-led government has decided to shelve plans to set up a Mountain Strike Corps, and reduce budgetary support for the planned modernization of the military.
The first part of Asia Times ‘Deep Dives’ examined whether the Indian military was being politicized. In the second part, Lieutenant General Prakash Katoch (Retired) speaks about the state of India’s preparedness for war.
Start by looking after yopur poor people, give them housing and other assistance.
Indian soldiers are brave, they are not like other military solidiers in the world who look only money and housing. Although they are poor but they are brave .????????????
indian solger able to fight with enemy without new equement
Please go to the table solve the problem not bey war
Indian biggest security threat is neither Pakistan nor China, but the American who has largest overseas base, Diego Garcia, right outside of India, it has stealth nuclear bombers and aircraft carrier combat groups that can either bomb India back to stone age or turn India back into British (Anglo) Raji.
But not all is lost, Indian can ask Japanese to foot the shortfall like the high speed rail, if the Japanese does not oblige, Indian can tell the Japanese they will help Chinese to chock Japanese oil supply thru the India Ocean, BTW Indian can give this warn to the Korean too.
Who say Indian soldiers are poor no way,we Indian r not poor( that is why u white English came to our mother land businessman & lotted everything) No u decide who is poor as well as u people make this type of false propogenda,this show that Ur r a poor .Whole world say Indian soldiers are brave & rich by heart,discipline & moral ethics.So India is still a Golden Birds for a world.
