    Mr. Sawhney, you have very valid point on having Indian military forces organized in most effective manner. However, I do think before additional forces put into places, it is necessary to have theater command first so that army can be directed by navy commanders or vise versa. With this critical step, they will be only taking orders from commanders in same forces and high barriers with others even in time of war. I also think the upper echelons got their interests in the game. Your voice will never be heard.

    If India cannot fight a all out hot war against Pakistan and win why on earth would India want to pick on a big superpower like china? Perhaps they thought by aligning themselves with the west they could scare the Chinese off. Knowing the troubles their western friends are having domestically and how they would respond when it gets too big by absconding why would they think that china would be intimidated by their alignment with the west is another enigma . Sign of desperation perhaps ?

      India is not looking to pick a fight with China. China wants Arunachal Pardesh which Chinese call South Tibet and Ladakh. Chinese have already bullied and taken over part of Ladakh in the past few years in pieces. India is not even trying to get those pieces of Ladakh back. It is just a matter of time before China come and attack India and take over both Arunachal Pardesh and entire Ladakh. India has the right to try to prevent the above. All Indian Prime Ministers from the first Jawaharlal Nehru to present Narendra Modi have been always trying to please China so that China does not attack India. But unfortunately that has never worked and India has always been repeatedly attacked by China since it’s occupation of Tibet. Any alignment with Western countries, Australia or Japan is more for economic reasons and access to sell in those markets. India will never attack China on the behest of USA or any other country. War with China is inevitable as China will attack to get Arunachal Pardesh and Ladakh. Next China will also try to remove Kashmir from India with Pakistan help from the West. China has too much investment at stake in POK Pakistan occupied Kashmir. China needs access to entire Indus (Sindhu) river infrastructure and part of that lies in India at the moment.

    Your Foreign Minister, a week back talked about difficult times (next 4-5 years) for the world. He, being among the top FMs of world has a solid ground to talk like that or say know the future game plan of US and its allies. Ukraine and Israelis massacre are part of that prediction, as most western thinkers are talking about WW-III. The new strategic alliance between Australia, UK and US (AUKUS) to counter China in Indo-Pacific region has purpose, a serious preparation for a big war. India may not be officially declared to be a part of this alliance, but by giving its (India) support facilities/logistic support to these countries is like becoming a part the alliance. In case of a war between AUKUS and China, the alliance will drag India into the war not only through logistics but forcing Indian forces to engage China from its south. This will be a disaster to Indian economy even if India remain neutral, which is difficult because of its huge exports to Europe and US, which will be exploited. The dollar is losing ground, BRICS dissolving western dominance are enough for the dark future ahead of these global players. America will keep creating wars to offset threats to its national security and this threat is much bigger and stronger than ever before in its history.
