The Indian Navy’s blue-water quest

Deccan Chronicle  

The global security situation is changing fast and India, focused on economic growth while it deals diplomatically with what is now being termed as “hybrid war”, needs to adapt quickly. The Indian Navy needs more funds for accelerated growth because the Pak-China sea-borne threat will only grow with terror and nuclear weapons going to sea on Pakistan’s ships and submarines. Russian nationalism and the need to flex its military muscle in support of Bashar al-Assad in Syria surprised many Western “experts” who were astonished by the military efficiency displayed by “bankrupt” Russia’s airstrikes and the Kaliber land attack cruise missiles launched by small warships sailing 1,500 km away in the Caspian Sea. While, India has similarity of views with almost all major nations on issues like climate change, combating terror, etc., it cannot ignore Pakistan, which is “kept afloat” by the US, China and Saudi Arabia. Having attended numerous international conferences in the last two years, I noticed a Western trend to “re-hyphenate” Pakistan with India, and give Pakistan a civil nuclear deal similar to India.
