2/ns #IndiaEc #IndiaNS #IndiaFP Bottom line: Reform economy to accelerate growth, increase the defence budget as % of GDP( allocating a part exclusively to strategic R&D), and accelerate build up of (purposeful) bilateral, plurilateral & multilateral alliances
3/ns #IndiaNS What has changed? The China that would want to teach us another lesson, which many well informed National Security experts thought would not arrive for 10-15 yrs, is now here. Postponing decisions & delaying action is no longer an option. We have to start today!
4/ns "dangerously wrong" advise to give to Govt or for it to follow. Private individuals, organizations must do their bit by reducing their purchase of goods/services exported from #communistChina & exposing the Genocide, Religious Cleansing, Ethenic Cleansing practiced by #CCP
