This is a very interesting piece by @Pushan3012. He talks about the need for India to review and accountability in lapses in intelligence and conduct (of war) at various levels in the wake of the standoff in Ladakh. Thread to follow . orfonline.org/research/deja-…

He writes that systemic shortcomings have to be highlighted and questioned, if India wants chalk out an effective strategy to deal with China.

Pointing to similarities between the intelligence failures in Kargil and the current crisis, the author questions the military's inability to detect China's incursions and act with alacrity.

He further argues that lack of accountability and review of wartime and peacetime performances has engendered mediocrity, while adding that pinning accountability would tantamount to admitting failure.

While acknowledging that there are no quick fixes to these issues that mar India's wherewithal, the author bats for improvements ,accountability and review once the dust settles.

Review and pin accountability @Pushan3012 . Twitter badly needs an edit feature.
