The purpose of Indian army is to protect and expand the long term interest of India. India is an economic superpower. We also have the 2nd largest army. We are no longer a poor nation that has to defend its border only. China and Pakistan will never dare to attack India because we are a nuclear power. Nuclear powers never wage war among themselves. We have to follow the example of mighty nations of history. Rome was even in Africa to protect its economic ionterest. British navy controlled the sea routes. USA has bases and naval presence everywhere in the world. We just cannot behave like a minor player any more. It is true that many brave soldiers will sacrifice their lives. But the nation will appreciate and respect their sacrifice. their motto is we scarifice our presence for your future.
