Nightmare 2012: Chinese Special Forces cut off Siliguri corridor

Friends,
The article Nightmare 2012: Chinese Special Forces cut off Siliguri corridor: click here is relevant though not entirely.

India must learn from its history, as pointed out in the article. India was subjugated for centuries as its rulers neglected its armies. Also Indian rulers were not united. Today, though India is one Nation but there are too many political parties and some even amicable towards the Chinese and few towards Pakistan as well!!

India's Polity and leaders are just not attuned towards National Security. The Bibles of our diplomats do not seem to have any content on Power projection. Our bureaucrats are the biggest road block in our Defence Forces getting modernised and having the weaponry to fight a successful war.

Every department, may it be Finance, Defence, External Affairs or Home Affairs is busy enlarging its turf. The top leadership is unable to provide required vision and coordinate the National Security effort successfully against internal and external threats.

No amount of money, DGP will be of use, in case India loses its freedom to act. The Chinese are already in Nepal in a big way. They do not have to paradrop forces in Siliguri Corridor!!

IESL should start a campaign to high light India's National Security neglect. May God be with Bharat.

Dear Chander,
A very thought provoking article " NIGHTMARE 2012 : CHINESE ......." by Bharat Verma, published in Defence Review ( extracted from SIFY home page , dated 20 .04.2010), is appended below for circulation, if deemed appropriate. Please do read the Cautionary Note at the end of the article.

2. Following comments of the Author (extracted from the article) are worth noting by all of us and in turn should be highlighted by bringing it to the notice of our Netas & Defence heirarchy--
Quote
" From times immemorial this attracted hordes of invaders from Central Asia. Delhi Durbar was unable to defend itself as it neglected its military. Time and again, the rulers in Delhi were subjugated, as their incompetence in wielding the military was pathological." Once again India is generating vast wealth. Once again it refuses to defend it! Despite historical lessons of defeat at the hands of marauding armies, Delhi Durbar’s incompetence and ignorance in equipping the excellent military machine inherited from the British is again on display." ...
