It is a matter of serious concern - MOD take note...
We must not judge anyone (especially the Chinese, after 1962) by intentions; but capabilities ; On this basis my observations (as a lay man)are as follows:
Steps to be taken (or considered):
Temporary Deterrent (OPTIONAL):
0.Review Tibet & Taiwan policy
Long term deterrent (UNCOMPROMISING ESSENTIALS:
1.Air Force - (Acquire New Fighter jets) 2.Navy - New Aircaraft carriers & nuclear capable submaries) 3.Review the nuclear missile stock pile. 4.Army - Increase strength of the Armed forces,China has 2.5 million..India(with 1.3 million) must surely exceed that. I cant imagine that this will be a burden.We have sufficent man power 5.(Long range nuclear capable ICBM with lethal chemicals (Acid based) should follow soon).Im afraid we need all these to counter the Chinese although it sounds cruel..We are dealing with a ruthless cold blooded race which mayl threaten humanity in near future
Iam conscious all of the above involves money. But no country compromises on Defence and India should not be an exception(given the type of neigbours we are surrounded by)
Remember Soviet Union , despite having superior military capabilities to the US collapsed as it tried to match Americas military might(spending) , which it could not sustain & thus wrecked its economy.America spends more than the rest of the World put together (USD 530 billion).Therefore the economy should be taken care of (More liberalisation & privatisation) at the same time.
PS: Jail the communists (left ) if they dare oppose in matters of national security

It is high time, let us speak about satyagraha, peaceful coexistance and other crap. Let us keep believing our agressive neighbours and keep giving away our interests. You are going to see.... India is never going to realise! Even if we realise, our communist party friends are never going to let it happen!
