  • Defence Diplomacy Between India and Myanmar: State of Play Dr
    ISPSW Strategy Series: Focus on Defense and International Security Issue Defence Diplomacy between India and Myanmar: State of Play No. 600 Dr Bibhu Prasad Routray Feb 2019 Defence Diplomacy between India and Myanmar: State of Play Dr Bibhu Prasad Routray February 2019 Abstract New Delhi’s strategic objectives in Myanmar remain important, yet ambigous. Firstly, the country is a lynchpin for India’s Act East policy. Secondly, it is a theatre where New Delhi is seeking to challenge the decades-old dominance of Beijing. And thirdly, Myanmar holds key to ending the remnants of the insurgencies in India’s northeast. To fulfil these objectives, New Delhi intends to boost the bilateral defence ties. While India’s Act East policy is a work in progress and the insurgents from North East India have not been dislodged from Myanmar’s territory, the ties between the defence forces of both countries have demonstrated signs of strengthening. For fulfilment of strategic objectives, however, there is a need to go beyond rhetoric and work on deliverables. About ISPSW The Institute for Strategic, Political, Security and Economic Consultancy (ISPSW) is a private institute for research and consultancy. The ISPSW is an objective, task-oriented and politically non-partisan institute.

  • Outrageous Comment of Indian Army Chief Regarding Bangladesh: Hasina Regime Proved Its Despicable Loyalty by Maintaining Absolute Silence
    Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir, Wilayah Bangladesh Ref : 1439-06/01 Monday, 10th Jumada II 1439 AH 26/02/2018 CE Press Release Outrageous Comment of Indian Army Chief regarding Bangladesh: Hasina Regime proved its Despicable Loyalty by Maintaining Absolute Silence On February 22, 2018, Indian Chief of Army Staff General Bipin Rawat has claimed at a seminar that a planned influx of illegal migrants from Bangladesh into India's north-eastern region is underway as part of Pakistan’s “proxy war” against India, with support from China, according to a report by The Times of India (February 22, 2018). Even though the statement, which has been covered by all the major newspapers in both India and Bangladesh, has provoked huge reaction in political arena, but, with utter disgust, we observed that Hasina government has remained in complete silence, demonstrating its unbending loyalty to the archenemy of the Muslims and Bangladesh. Even the appalling statement of Rawat that Bangladesh is being used for proxy warfare of Pakistan, did not offend the professed “chetona” (spirit of liberation war) of the current regime that it keeps bragging about! O Muslims of Bangladesh! This is clear beyond the shadow of a doubt that this ruling class will spare no effort to bring on us unending humiliation and disgrace at India’s behest. India, no matter how big a bully in this block, did not possess an iota of courage to mess around with the incredibly brave Bangladesh Army even a few years back. This land of shirk had a hard time to forget their nightmarish experience of defeat by our paramilitary force Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) in Padua and Rowmari across the border in 2001.

  • INDO-PACIFIC Indian Defense Chief Sees Collusion Between China and Pakistan
    INDO-PACIFIC Indian Defense Chief Sees Collusion Between China and Pakistan OE Watch Commentary: Indian Media conglomerate NDTV recently posted partial transcripts and analysis of a two-day (6-7 November) virtual seminar given by India’s Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Bipin Rawat, and organized by India’s National Defence College. Although Rawat admitted that India faced a variety of threats, much of the general’s address was focused on tensions with China. According to the excerpted article, Rawat reiterated the oft-stated Indian position on Chinese actions near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) where violent clashes took place in June 2020. Rawat reemphasized India’s heroic and dedicated moves to counter what the Indians see as China’s aggressive efforts to challenge the existing disputed border, stating that India “will not accept any shifting of the LAC.” According to the published transcripts, the defense chief also accused China and Pakistan of conspiring against India saying, “‘increasing collusion’ poses an ‘omnipresent danger’ of regional strategic instability and threatens India’s territorial integrity.” It is no mystery that India has been engaged in a decades long struggle against Pakistan. It is also a fact that the disputed LAC between India and China is located in territory that Pakistan claims. According to Rawat, a proxy war “unleashed by Pakistan in [India- Map of Disputed Kashmir Region. administered] Jammu and Kashmir accompanied by a Source: CIA, https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/36/Kashmir_Region_%282020_skirmish_locations%29.jpg, Public Domain ‘vicious’ anti-India rhetoric on social media and efforts to create social disharmony within India have taken Indo-Pak relations to a new low.” Rawat stated that Pakistan will remain the epicenter of armed insurgency and terrorism while continuing to claim that Pakistan considers Kashmir “unfinished business.” However, beyond those statements, Rawat shared no specific evidence regarding China-Pakistan collusion.

  • Army Chief Gen. Bipin Rawat's Statement Was Absolutely
    ARMY CHIEF GEN. BIPIN RAWAT’S STATEMENT WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT SANGEETA SAXENA - AVIATION AND DEFENCE UNIVERSE For the last twenty four hours the story which is attracting maximum eyeballs and shooting up TRP ratings is the statement made by Indian Army Chief Gen. Bipin Rawat at the Seminar titled North East Region of India : Bridging Gaps & Securing Borders. As someone who was present at the Seminar, I feel this controversy raked up by the media is absolutely unwarranted. The Seminar jointly organised by MOD’s Integrated Defence Staff (IDS) and Centre for Joint Warfare Studies(CENJOWS) was a brainstorming half day event to identify the reasons for the states’ being in the condition they are and hindrances in development and growth , pinpoint the reasons for the vulnerability of the region and specific geographical features and finding solutions to keep these border areas secure thereby maintaining the security of the nation. And a mountain out of a molehill is being created when it comes to his statements. As the Chief of the nation’s Army, he is one person who knows the absolute pros and cons of the existing situation and reasons for the existence of this situation. During his speech, the Army chief said, “There is a party called AIUDF, if you look at… they have grown in a faster time-frame than the BJP has grown over the years. When we talk of Jan Sangh with two Members of Parliament and where they have reached, AIUDF is moving at a faster pace in the state of Assam. Finally, what will be the state of Assam, we will have to take a call.” So what is wrong in the statement? In a strategic brainstorming it is necessary to identify all reasons for a crisis existing and dwell on all possible solutions to solve it.
