What is our greatest weakness?
The greatest weakness is the absence of a National strategy. Manmohan Singh administration not only has not put forward a clear strategic view of the Nation but it is hostile to the very idea of strategy. The PM's national security adviser has an inkling that strategy is merely an after thought and akin to– "it’s what you say you had after you have acted." That is truly revealing and frightening to be actually practised. India has one of the largest, expensive, best educated, reasonably equipped military in the world, but it is strategically brainless at the top because the Bureaucrats who drive the Government and their advisers think that agility is a substitute for strategy. Agility is necessary, but it is reactive. If you have no strategy, you are very likely to become part of someone else’s strategy. The Military Think Tank are only tigers on paper and GOI does neither heed their advice nor take them into confidence. Take the example of tackling Pakistan, Terrorists, Maoists, Naxalites, including the Himalayan border resolution- a flood of papers by eminent Military Leaders just gathering dust in the corridors of power!
