Sawhney saheb You make very critical observations. This could be life and death for India. Is any one in power listening to you? History repeats itself.

I request you to review again the Pakistan china relations since the regime change under American pressure. The military of Pakistan is occupied in many business fronts as they may not want to engage in any war with anyone that could destroy their 200 billion dollar business cycles. Also, Pakistan will start any war with any country at any cost until they get approval from the USA.
So its in the best interest for India to keep at the good side of the US and keep poking China again and again while try to avoid the fate like Ukraine. But India has massive population and it isn't gonna join NATO anytime soon so the Ukraine scenario is highly unlikely to play here. And if US ever finds India to be at odds with the US/NATO then all it has to do is fund Pakistan to screw up India. So beware of the US and Pakistan more than the lower Chinese threat 😜
Thank you for an insightful explanation. I admire your incisive analysis. One way for the army would be that it leave J&K and counter terrorist and counter insurgency ops elsewhere, too. It has had a degrading effect on the army's capabilities. When you wrestle with a weaker wrestler, your standards decline. Let CRPF take over these ops and army focus solely on conventional war.
It is amazing that Indian armed forces do not invite such learned and thinking military strategist who can convey complex topics with clarity and cause/effect logic. Perhaps the egos of the top echelons will be hurt to listen to contrary views. They truly believe disregarding ground realities) that they can comfortably box above their weight class.
India instead of focusing people’s livelihood development unrealistically focuses on security and investment lots.It’s reality China will not involve any war with China for sure ,their people and government not crazy,they are smart- focus for economic development.1962 war China go back actual line of control.But with Pakistan yes as long Kashmir India occupied and dominated illegally there are possibilities for sure.It’s created problems by India.Good expense more money to armed,instead of people livelihood development.Good luck.Indian people are too much unrealistically very emotionally driven.
Well done, Dr. Sawhney. I hope the top Indian military and political leadership choose the right course of action: peace with its neighbours. Unfortunately, India cannot fight even a one-front war with the Pakistanis; what to talk about fighting against the Chinese? India can initiate a war against any of the two countries under discussion. However, it is about facing the consequences and destruction as a result. Having a military strategy on paper and executing it in real-time are two different things; India recently faced it in Post-Balakoat and Post-Galwan. Sanity should prevail, and the incompetent people must not ruin India's future as a viable, thriving country.
Bhai , Bharat has never initiated a war with any other Nation. Our focus has always been “Defensive” & proactive. & achieving a creditable conventional Deterrent.
@@Indu-uw3nz2rt9i I am India's well-wisher. I want the people of India to grow and prosper. Spending money on developing intellectual capital, technology, and infrastructure would help reduce poverty and improve quality of life. India is a big country, and civilizations are wise enough not to get bogged down in wars. India and China need to lead the world in a sustainable environment, trade, education, healthcare and technology, not to waste money infringing upon others' territorial integrity. Negotiations are the best way forward; there was no need to revoke Articles 370 and 35A that triggered the Chinese adventure in the Himalayas.
IT MATTERS NOT WHAT THE INDIAN ARMY CHOSES TO FOCUS ON - [ the indian army could not beat itself - out of a very wet paper bag ] - JUST LOOK AT ITS HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE - YOU CAN TAL YOURSELF TO YOUR RESSURECTION - IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN
China is very rich and can easily finance Pakistan Army to add another additional 1 or 2 million men under arm before war begin in all Three Fronts. In another word, China have the money and Pakistan have excess sulphus manpower.
I have been watching for a long time Mr Sawhney dishing out distorted views of Geo Politics. Please note the following. India China border dispute long Pre dates America China discord. India China dispute is independent of America China problem . Yes India needs America to safe guard it's borders and Amarica needs India to safe guard it's Super Power status. True India and Amarica are at the two ends of the Globe but they have much in common.On the other hand China and Pakistan have nothing in common. Only thing that they have in common is their desire to keep India down

Plz remember, the army said they were ready to fight a "two and half front war". What happened to that "half war"? India should first honourably settle the Indo-Naga issue. One time during the 1960s and 1970s there were about 2,00,000 Indian army troops tied up in the NE particularly in Naga areas. Even today, there is about 1,00,000 troops and paramilitary tied up in the Naga territories. Can India afford this? This also has an impact in their training and mindset approach to war and conflict.
That issue is simply settled now . In 1990s naga insurgency was really a pain . But later in year 1999 indian government and those naga groups like NSCN IM and NSCN k came with a ceasefire . Today most of those groups are only active in extortion and extra judicial and political killings. Nothing elsem
Your research & threat evaluation in the potential theatres of limited wars is both well articulated & highly insightful for even a lay person with little or no background knowledge of military strategies & evolving global geopolitical scenarios, especially in light of the current proxy wars underway in eastern europe & the middle east coupled with the dark clouds hovering over the south china sea theatre… Would appreciate getting a holistic overview of dynamics playing out in those regions along with possible outcomes for the entire planet !! Much thanks Sir🙏
Don't you worry. Pakistani military Generals don't wanna fight India at all. It's bad for the business. But Pakistani military still wanna keep the threat perception of India for the foreseeable future only for their domestic PR and staying in the limelight. Otherwise they may observe extreme budget cuts and downsizing because the economic condition of the country can't allow to keep that massive force for no aparent reason. Recently our top Generals have repeatedly shown their unwillingness to fight India, especially the Bajwa and predecessors. If India gets the backing of the US/NATO in it's future conflict against either China or Pakistan, I assure you that intra operability would end right there as far as Pakistan is concerned. China also hasn't yet supplied military assistance to any US/NATO foes in war till now. It remains to be seen if China could endure the US pressure when it comes to the Pakistan-India skirmishes/war. War is scary and very expensive as it's proven to be like in Ukraine. It's easy and sustainable to back terrorists/separatists of the one another. India/Pakistan have been doing these kind of low intensity warfare for decades.
Indian military thinking always try to craft rationale n remain relevant for the west ... So 2 front war mantra is nothing new but a notion to harness modern equipment and remain relevant
Dear sir, may I point out that in Pakistan's Kashmir.. no one resorted to curfews.. internet black outs.. military operations etc.. so who is occupying who? I leave that to your better judgement
With all due respect I wish to say only one thing and that is Mr. Sawhney should understand that the army generals know more than his outside assessments, so he should shove his "analysis" in his back side.
There are over 650,000 Indian soldiers deployed in Kashmir. This comes out to roughly 1600 soldiers per KM which about 2 soldiers per meter. Do I need to say anything further. You are a very smart person, I hope you get my point.

Pravin, you are hurting Chini and Pak army by giving such analysis about Bharat which will make them become lazy and complacent. In the event of a war they will blame you for their debackle. Beware of this fact.
1965 and in 1971, Pakistan had the technological advantages but still Indian Army went up Lahore. Now India has both ethnological and numerical superiority, so why Indian Army will not able to defeat Pak Army. Yes, it will be difficult if both China and Pak attacks India.
History lesson: If a military holds any edge over its adversary, it won't leave a single opportunity to attack. Now ask yourself, since having strained relations with Pak since 15 years, why there has been no significant attack from Indian army to take back Pak administered Kashmir and why China has been sitting over 2000 sqkm of your land? I think Pravin's analysis are spot on.
