not being strong enough militarily was stupidity. even now, the army does not have enough relevance, due to excessive indulgence and interference of politicians.
nehru had some ideas which he thought were good, but proved wrong later. panchsheel was good on paper, but with hostile neighbors, it clearly was not enough.
being proactive about security is not being aggressive. being aggressive is interfering into others matters excessively, like how china is about arunachal pradesh now, and how pakistan is about kashmir, punjab etc etc. even bangladesh is aggressive with thier smallish army routinely committing excesses. we need to be proactive now , and also in the future. give army its relevance.

May I know when we will have aircraft carrier again? And when russians will give enough bribe to indians so that they can take decision?
