Galwan Propelled Rebalancing, Repositioning and Retasking of Formations

For too long the Indian army focused on its western borders expecting eruptions from the western neighbour more than our northern foe. However, Galwan cleared all ambiguities that may have been there. With Doklam as the backdrop and the deliberate orchestrating of violence at Galwan, there were no doubts left.
Gen MM Naravane retired Army Chief was at the helm. He was also the man at the helm when COVID-19 raged through. The General also shared his thoughts on Chinese options for Taiwan. War certainly is nowhere near the best course, the Chinese would like to attempt.
Theaterisation, according to him will take time. Others who have opted for such a jointness in their forces, have taken long and so will we.
Guest: Gen MM Naravane (Retd). He was the Chief of the Army Staff and faced many challenges, both military and non-military, during his tenure. Currently a sought-after strategist, speaker, and analyst.
Host: Nitin Gokhale. Editor-in-Chief, Bharatshakti.in

[@rabisahoopuri]

A soft spoken hard hitting General, perfect for a gentleman army.

[@Red.bulldozer3]

He is too soft for an army man. When he was the commander of easten sector, he was asked by this same Mr Nitin , why there was a large chinese army with weapons assembled near indian border, General Navarane replied did not know. How come commander of a army do not know the motive of enemy? I was looking for the video by Nitin but till now cannot locate. I wonder he might had deleted it .😂

[@whomraja1704]

Fantastic programme. Thank you General NARAVNE for your service to BHARAT

[@sureshbhave9992]

A most enlightening discussion for a layman. The brief discussion indicates that producing a policy document and then filling in the details that are foreseen and as they emerge as implementation of the policy progresses is surely a tremendous task, particularly in times of rapidly developing technologies that also change the geopolitical situation.

General Naravane plucked some very important strings in a very subtle way, on subjects of 2 front war, theaterisation and National spirit and national security strategy. More time needed to extract the subtle wisdom from this man. Anyways very good conversation.

It is shameful that we wait for a clash to recalibrate and fill the loopholes.. no pre planning, no forecast

[@Sunny12-23]

Talk is cheap. Why don't you join army and prove your superior understanding of the situation.

[@supdude6968]

In geo politics, forecasting reveals many possibilities. But you can't prepare for all possibilities. Crisis and conflicts reveal one possibility, and for that, you can prepare. It's good that india made a shift after galwan clash and didn't wait until another one. Galwan clash is a small sacrifice for bigger gains that india will achieve through strategic change it is going through.

LT General Panag has written an article in the last few days where he talks about building tunnels to fight the Chinese. In that article, he claims that India lost 1000 square miles to a China in 2020. The government, including Army HQ under Gen Naravane said that we did not lose any. What is the truth?

Indians should change their strategy of patrolling border areas once a blue moon . Since the border is disputed , india should quickly improve connectivity to front lines for faster movement of troops and equipments. The border must be 24/7 monitored by satellites, drones,light air craft , ballons, and if possible Cctv at critical points to check movements of enemies. Indian army should work closely with local communities to check on enemy intrusion
