    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."

            "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."

    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."

            "One must not think that India is not at war. It is already fighting an ‘invisible war’ and ‘irregular war’ on its internal front, launched by China and Pakistan respectively. These are the preferred strategies of waging a war in the 21st Century."
