| Summary / Abstract (Note) | A 'heavy breakthrough capability' in India's context relates to having the capability to reach objectives up to 100km in depth, should the political circumstances impose war on our nation.
Our democratic set up will never allow India to become the aggressor, as the people's support will never be available for even thinking at such dangerous and unproductive ventures. India
does not believe in either territorial conquest or torcible amalgamation ot unwilling or a dillerent
type of population. Such actions can only be carried out by totalitarian regimes which can easily misrepresent tacts to their countrymen and live a lie while festering rebellions gather smoke waiting tor the central authority's power to wane. It was exactly such a situation that arose in the erstwhile Soviet Union leading to its break up. |
