There are two major national security failures that have persisted for a long time, which are in dire need of rectification. Hopefully 2022 will be the year when practical solutions start being implemented. China has occupied nearly 1,000 square miles of strategically important Indian territory in eastern Ladakh’s Depsang Plains.
To make India’s China policy strictly mutually institutionalized, massive reform is needed. India needs to strategically arm Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines, as Beijing has done with Pakistan. It can also be called as such.
Access to the Chinese market should be limited to the level that Indian exporters face in China, and the flow of Chinese automobiles, mobile telephony accessories and light manufacturers should be stopped.
If the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government at the Center wants India to turn China into the ‘workshop’ of the world, it needs to first take tough steps from inside its own home.
This drastic step will be completed only with the help of strengthening the military force structure. Even though the Indian Army has increased its military strength to counter the deployment of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China, it lacks the capability to recapture the area currently occupied.
Such capability can be achieved through sustained active or offensive action by the three Offensive Mountain Corps (OMCs) and will be economically viable only if the Army has three Armored Strike Corps. The remaining two strike corps need to be replaced with light tanks for high altitude operations for mountainous use.

These two formations, along with the OMC (XVII Corps) based at Panagarh, will provide the army with the means to give the PLA a tough fight, and combined with the existing defensively organized mountain divisions to form a formidable combat force, which is set across the Himalayas. The PLA is able to control and limit China’s influence in the extended region.
The second failure is in relation to the atmanirbhar (self-reliance) policy marked by delusional thinking. Will the country really be self-sufficient in weapons, if foreign supplier companies make their products in India or actually just assemble?
Defense public sector units (DPSUs), such as HAL, Mazgaon Dockyard, et al, and ordnance factories have had this remarkable level of manufacturing technology for the past 60 years.
They are used to licensed manufacturing contacts, which require them to unpack fully imported knocked-down kits and semi-knocked-down kits, and tighten various components and assemblies together to acquire weapon systems. Is.
The process is labeled ‘Indigenous Production’, and the resulting ‘Made in India’ warships, submarines and fighter aircraft are claimed to be 80 percent indigenous goods.
