| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Gandhi an philosophy at ahimsa has attested the Indian attitude towards war and use of force. Nehruvian distrust ot India's armed forces and military leadership has coloured the dispensation national defence and the armed forces get. Historical, intellectual, cultural and administrative neglect oi the need for national defence cause deep concern. The people and their elected representatives have indifference to and inadequate knowledge of defence matters, their imperatives, demands and consequences. Bhutto said, "We will eat grass, but produce an atomic weapon". This awareness and determination does not sink in our Indian thought. Indian attitude resonates to its cultural ethos - waiting tor something to happen, somewhere, somehow, some time and somebody to take care, without designing things. |
