| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Indian Army remains handicapped in terms of its war making potential and lack of military infrastructure along the ever-vulnerable Indo-Tibet Border. The military men's cause was first dealt a telling blow by India's economic crisis of the early l990s and whatever of it was left to kindle, was extinguished thereafter by the crass failure of the lndian state in modernising its military. Regrettably, that debilitation was not led by just the impositions of fiscal, scientific and industrial stagnation, at its root lay a systemic aberration of security-blindness that seemed to have seized India's governing establishment, made up as it was of distracted political leadership, unaccountable bureaucracy, moribund military industry and marginalised military hierarchy. |
