Abstract

India is economically one of the fastest growing nations in the world and if this high growth rate can be sustained then it can easily modernize its armed services. The reason why India has been trying to arm itself is because it wants to see itself as a major super power in the world and the evidence of this fact can be sought in the new modifications which are being proposed in the military doctrine and India's defence shopping list. This paper aims at examining India's defence modernization and expansion schemes which are set to be fulfilled by 2020 and to draw a comparison of India's existing and forecasted defence inventory with Pakistan's defence inventory in order to better understand how these military modernization and expansion programs, India can use as a policy tool to undermine Pakistan's national security.

Abstract

The military has played a dominant role in making strategic decisions in Pakistan. Like any other military in the world, Pakistan Army has an institutionalised method of problem analysis. This is known as the 'appreciation of the situation'. This involves a careful scrutiny of four factors; namely, ground and weather, enemy situation, own situation, and time and space. This time-tested method has been used repeatedly during peace and war to arrive at pertinent conclusions, for making appropriate plans to deal with different contingencies. During the early days of Pakistan, this method was used to make stark choices like seeking security through the Western alliance system and resolving the Kashmir problem through military means. These were critical decisions with long term implications. The results were not always the same as expected. The main reason for this poor showing was because the immediate threat factor and the short-term gains were overplayed. Long-term consequences were ignored. Had these decisions been taken with greater deliberation and with the larger picture in mind, the results could have been better. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
