25 years of Kargil war: Have we changed?

It's 25th year of Kargil Vijay, yes we celebrate it but tough questions have been put under the carpet. What was our intellegence apparatus doing? How come such big movement from enemy has not been came to notice? And many such more questions, which are never answered and no one ever been made accountable for that. Now it's matter of past so it's time to see is there any change in terms of weapons, strategy and approach of leadership?

1. Weapons: While present political leadership pushing hard for make in India weapons and that's also good but somehow there seems lack of coordination between forces and manufacturing agencies. In Drone tech we are still far behind many small nations, we still don't have our own engine for fighter jets (which is also hurting our MK 1A delivery schedule thanks to dependency on GE), strength of airforce is depleting and no visible relief on horizon. Issue is babudom and expecting everything from homegrown platforms and buying average from West mentality by leadership of forces in some case. So what's the solution? Go with private players, they have rigid setup of performance and may speed up the things compared to Babu based govt systems. Promote R&D culture from schooling, which will give technical experts. 

2. Strategy: Appointment of CDS to convert current mechanism into theater command is a good step. Wish to see that becoming reality very soon. Apart from that, random strikes by unknown gunman, constant news of various ethnic groups in enemy nation are striking their forces sounds a good way to give them back their own venom. Only concern is the way forces are dealing the OGW mechanism in valley, what Major Gogoi and Col Acharya did were best steps to create fear amongst those who want to do any mischief, sadly such officers getting punished gives a wrong messaging and increases moral of the enemy. Solution is only one, crush the enemy before it becomes threat. 

3. Approach of leadership: Present leadership has definitely went ahead and called for surgical strikes and air strike but post 2019, no terror attacks has been avenged in that manner. This trying to be Gandhi mentality across the leaderships of political parties is something which kept India as reactive nation. When we know that Pakistani army is giving training to terrorists, when we know that where their launchpads are, when we have killing machines like Apache, Brahmos and Rafale, what stops us to strike? Why we let the terrorists infiltrate and to engage with our forces and let them do the damage to us? Each soldier lost fighting against terrorists is a big loss for the nation and yet we just go with traditional measures and risking lives of our brave soldiers, this needs to change. We must remember that MKG is no one, we are descendants of Shri Ram who went all the way to Lanka to fight against Ravan, we are descendants of Shri Krishna who destroyed Shishupal after tolerating 100 abuses, we are descendants of Bappa Rawal who made Bin quasim to run away and ensured that no attacks for coming 200 years, we are descendants of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj who ignited the flame of Hindavi Swaraj during the dark times of Mughal era, we are descendants of Raj Raja Chola who expanded the empire beyond seas, we are descendants of Lachit Borphukan who never let Mughals to set their feet on lands of Ahoms, we love peace but we are worshippers of Shakti. I request leadership to stop creating false narrative of ahimsa, our Gods and our ancestors have faught for Dharma and for the truth and shall we also.

My naman to all the veer jawans of our forces who gave balidan to make enemy run for their lives and made sure that they can not get hold of our territory. Those young souls who never made it back to their homes, the families which still waits for their sons to come back, we are indebted to them forever. I wish that if any war happens now, it will be fought at the area of enemy, not ours. Jai Hind.
