We are heading back to bipolar/multipolar world, is it good/bad 4 int community only time will tell. Wht we r certainly seeing is more aggression on part of nations, specially 1 thats tryin 2 go into bipolar world or makin presence felt thts #China

They (China) are becoming more n more aggressive and we share land borders with them. Its time for us to start looking at our strategies as to how we are going to deal with the two borders... aggressive adversaries, Pak on Western front & China on the North: CDS Gen Bipin Rawat

We need to also start looking at transformation for the betterment and ensuring the national security architecture that we want to evolve is capable of handling the threats that are emerging. To do this we need jointmanship amongst all the security forces: Gen Rawat at @iicdelhi

We will find that a weaker adversary like Pakistan will always try to keep us engaged through proxy war. And they are in fact a proxy of our Northern adversary that is China: #CDS Gen Bipin Rawat

As far as our Northern adversary is concerned, since we have unsettled borers with them and they have shown aggression on the East coast in the South China Sea with nations in that area, are they likely to therefore show aggression on our Northern borders?: #CDS Gen Bipin Rawat

Whether that happens in the form of direct aggression or he uses technology, we have be prepared. And this preparation can happen only if we work together: Gen Bipin Rawat #China #LAC #Ladakh

There is now lot of scope for looking at #space based systems, looking at how we can engage through space in a joint manner. We have to start looking at our #cyber capability and artificial intelligence... Technology is becoming the need of the hour...: Gen Rawat #Tech #AI

The world is in turmoil.. and the rise of #China has happened faster than people have envisaged, said Gen Rawat speaking at @iicdelhi

Talking of confucian & Islamic civilizations and together challenging the West, Gen Rawat said: #China is now making friends with #Iran & #Turkey. They have stepped into #Afghanistan. They will get into Afghanistan in time to come. Will that lead to a clash of civilizations?

Gen Rawat used the word 'support' while talking of 1971 war n role played by 3 services while stressing on the idea of theatre commands, but obviously with reference to flare up in mind quipped: "I wouldn’t say support because ‘support’ has somehow become an unsavory term..."

Major reorganisation in the works!!!
We are looking at creating a rocket force: said CDS Gen Bipin Rawat speaking at @iicdelhi @adgpi @indiannavy @IAF_MCC
