    Tool Kit: Of Traitors, Liberty & National  Security!
            "Where and when, the issue of national security begins, there and then, freedom of expression, liberty and democracy not only lose their shine but they become irrelevant. Unrestricted liberty and freedom are the greatest threats to national integrity."

    India’s Afghanistan Dilemma: To Stay or not to Stay!
            "Pakistan's ISI has formidable links with the Afghan Taliban. India will be badly handicapped, once the Taliban comes to power, which definitely it would. India has no land and sea links with it to support her elements deployed there."

    Of Pliable Generals: Splitting the Anatomy of Military Corruption
            "The seeds of pliable military leadership were sown when the ‘Jeep scandal’ took place in the 1948. This scam, by the turn of the 21st century, had snowballed into multiple scams, involving many defence deals in which senior officers were involved."

    Evolve with the Times: Discard Antique Moralities!
            "The rise of religious fundamentalism is an indicator of an ongoing conflict between the ‘old’ and the ‘new’. The message is crystal clear: alter, modify or adjust, or else be ready for extinction."

    PLA Soldier “Straying” into Ladakh: Can an Espionage Angle be Ruled Out?
            "I am of the view that a sufficiently seasoned soldier, could not have strayed. His trade as an armourer, if true, and service indicate something else. The documents in his possession, would show whether he was on reconnaissance mission or to seek asylum?"

    India — A Victim of Strategic Disunity Since Time Memorial!
            "One must see that the foremost danger to India was from its ‘strategic disunity’ and not necessarily from China’s hybrid war or Pakistan sponsored terrorism. It is the ‘enemy within’ who is nibbling at its unity."

    The United Nations Requires a Total Overhaul!
            UNO cries for a total change in its structure and effectiveness, where every nation must have equal voice and weightage. What more such a body must have all world bodies under its control so as to coordinate the combined efforts on human upliftment.

    Deciphering China’s Real Motive of Aggression in Eastern Ladakh!
            "China knows that a war with India, even if it gets some success, would not gain it much dividends. In fact, it would lose in its drive to be a Global leader by 2049. It would also hurt its ‘One China Policy’, which aims to assimilate Taiwan with mainland China."

    China’s Dented Pride & Failing Bullying Tactics
            "What worries China, it seems, is the harshest winters of Eastern Ladakh at 16000-17000 feet and the inability of its soldiers to bear this. Soldiers coming from ‘One-Child-Families’ are pampered and urbanised, who have enjoyed luxury amenities, which makes them soft."

    Post Indian Pre-emptive Op on Southern Bank of Pangong Tso Lake: A Status Report of Sino-Indian Conflict!
            "The PLA  has some basic problems with soldiers. Chinese know that Indian soldiers are far more superior in the art of war and bravery. What they lack by way of advanced weaponry,  they very well make it up by their raw courage. This is the dilemma of PLA Leadership."

    Diagnosing and Fighting China’s Designer War on India!
