| Summary / Abstract (Note) | During the past decade, zIndia's Defence preparedness has steadily and inexorably deteriorated despite constant clamor by the Defence forces tor modernisation and up gradation to meet assigned roles and tasks. Meanwhile, Pakistan's anti-India stance and Chinese aggressive actions and iterations have neither helped to push away the trepidation of possible military conflagration with either one individually, nor done anything to liquidate the possibility of a two-front war. A combined and collusive threat from China and Pakistan would overstretch the Indian military machinery and, given the inordinately delayed modernisation in certain domains, could well be a recipe for an ignominious debacle reminiscent of the 1962 India-China War. |
