[1] Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru chaired that meeting. Leaders and Army officers were discussing to whom this responsibility should be given. In between the discussion Nehru said, “I think we should appoint a British officer as a General of Indian Army as we don’t have enough experience to lead the same.” Everybody supported Nehru because if the PM was suggesting something, how can they not agree? But one of the army officers abruptly said, “I have a point, sir.” Nehru said, “Yes, gentleman. You are free to speak.” He said, “You see, sir, we don’t have enough experience to lead a nation too, so shouldn’t we appoint a British person as first PM of India?” This man changed everything (Cont…) The meeting hall suddenly went quiet. Then, Nehru said, “Are you ready to be the first General of Indian Army?” He got a golden chance to accept the offer but he refused the same and said, “Sir, we have a very talented army officer, my senior, Lt Gen Cariappa, who is the most deserving among us.” That day we got the first Field Marshal of Independent India K M Cariappa[2] Image Source: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodandera_M._Cariappa#/media/File:Field_Marshal_KM_Cariappa.jpg Wars that defined our borders Wars that defined our borders The British controlled 565 princely states during 1947 in Indian subcontinent. While leaving India, they gave a choice to all princely states to either join India, Pakistan or stay Independent. Man Instrumental for India’s unification The Iron Man of India – Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel In this series, We will list down four wars that resurrected India how it is today 1. First Kashmir War 1947 (Erstwhile J&K princely state) 2. Operation Polo (Hyderabad) 3. Operation Vijay (Goa) 4. Operation Meghdoot (Siachen Glacier) Image Source: - http://www.14gaam.com/history-of-sardar-vallabhbhai-patel.htm First Kashmir War -- 1947 Jammu and Kashmir was one of the largest princely states in India during Independence enjoyed a huge majority of Muslims in the region governed by a Hindu King. [3] While this state was independent under the British India, acted as a buffer to Central Asian invasion before Indian Independence. After British transferred power to the new Indian government, the Central government had a task to bring in 565 princely states under one secular nation – India. Hari Singh, the then Kashmir King wanted to stay independent or join India. The region of Gilgit was very important for both the new countries. Pakistan wanted to deploy troops into this region even if Kashmir joins India because of its strategic importance, but India wouldn’t accept any external forces into its territory. [4] First Kashmir War – 1947 (Cont…) Pakistan couldn’t digest the fact that a Muslim majority state like Kashmir is not a part of the new nation formed on religious lines. Poonch was a high taxation region in the valley. With Muslims in Poonch being heavily taxed with less economic prospects, Pakistan felt the region would support them in conquering Kashmir. Pakistani troops entered the valley and occupied Gilgit and so-called Azad Kashmir in their conquest. They instead of reaching Srinagar, went on to loot residents of Gilgit and Azad Kashmir. Hari Singh asked for help from India, which India did on one condition – Signing the Instrument of Accession to India, which officially means unification of Kashmir and India. Hari Singh signed the Instrument of Accession to India on 26th October 1947 – celebrated as Accession Day in India First Kashmir War – 1947 (Cont…) India immediately airlifted troops to the deployed them in Srinagar. The Indian border operations, codenamed under Operation Vijay, Operation Gulab and Eraze, Operation Bison and Operation Easy avoided the Pakistani forces from reaching Srinagar and stopped them at Uri. PM Jawaharlal Nehru then went to the United Nations against the occupation of Pakistan in Kashmir, making Kashmir a disputed territory. The UN declared a ceasefire in 1949 along the territorial occupancy of both the nations, which later became the Line of Control after the Simla Agreement in 1972. India was declared a winner as it controlled 2/3rd of the land in Kashmir valley. Image Source: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Pakistani_War_of_1947#/media/File:J%26K10low.jpg Operation Polo Operation Polo or Police Action was the name given to the unification of Hyderabad State into Indian Union.[5] The Nizams were independent rulers of the state of Hyderabad, a state with 85% Hindu population and arguably the largest princely state in British India. The Nizams had entered into an agreement with the British under the subsidiary alliance, when helped him maintain significant ruling autonomy in his kingdom, but external affairs were handled by the British for a fee. Operation Polo (Cont…) One of the richest states in India, the last Nizam ( Sir Mir Osman Ali Khan) was among the richest people in the world, has featured in the TIME also.[6] Image Source : - http://guruprasad.net/posts/sardar-patel-prevented-hyderabad-becoming-another-pakistan-operation-polo/ Operation Polo (Cont…) India got independence on 15th August 1947. Many princely states joined the Indian Union after a humble meeting with the Iron Man of India. But Hyderabad stayed reluctant. It wanted to remain Independent or join Pakistan. Joining Pakistan wasn’t an easy task, but in a landlocked region to stay independent, it needs ports and the Nizam was in no mood to have good relations with India. This brought suspicion to the Indian government. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel clearly stated that Hyderabad couldn’t remain independent as it didn’t make sense for the unification of the entire sub-continent as one country, thereby might provoke other princely states to fight to stay Independent. The Indian government signed a Standstill agreement with Hyderabad stating that it couldn’t join Pakistan but could stay independent. But due to violation of the agreement from both the sides, this agreement didn’t stand long. Operation Polo (Cont…) Nehru was reluctant for any military intervention in the unification of Hyderabad as advised by the Britishers, but Patel went his way. Nehru’s concern was justified as he felt Pakistan would attack on India, if it annexes Hyderabad, equally ignorant of the fact that Pakistan was in no mood to do so. On September 13, 1948, Patel started the attack on the erstwhile state of Hyderabad at Naldurg fort at the Solapur Highway. After being victorious, then the Indian Army attacked the state from Jalna, Surjapet and Adilabad. The army of Razakars of about 2,00,000 was defeated in a one-sided battle by the 35,000 Indian Army troops within 100 hours. In a high level meeting between the Home Minister of India and the last Nizam of Hyderabad, the state was handed over to the Indian Union, making the last Nizam Rajpramuk of the Hyderabad state and allowed him to keep all his wealth. Operation Polo (Cont…) The second major reason for the unification of Hyderabad was important for India was to save the majority population from the atrocities of a religious ruler. Despite enjoying an overwhelming majority in the state of Hyderabad, the Hindus were not given equal representation in the state politics, army, etc…. With increasing loot, murder and rape against a particular sect of people, it alarmed the Indian government to stop these atrocities at the earliest, prompting Patel to force military action on Hyderabad state. When the richest man in the world surrenders to the Iron Man of India --- The last Nizam was granted 5 million rupees by the Indian Government for allowing the unification. Image Source: - http://itsalexanderthegreat.blogspot.in/p/liberation-of-hyderabad-state-india.html Operation Vijay Portuguese settlements existed in India even before the British came to rule the entire sub-continent. While the British reduced their influence only to Goa and other enclaves in Dadra and Nagara Haveli; they refused to surrender their territory to the new Indian Union. The French surrendered their territory in 1954 without much fanfare, Portuguese territories were unified to the Indian Union by the Indian Armed Forces in 1961.[7] While before Operation Vijay, in 1954 the Indian forces took over all Portuguese enclaves like Dadra and Nagara Haveli. To access to the port, they needed to travel 20km through the Indian territory which was the major reason for unification into the Indian Union as a Union Territory.

  • A Siachen Peace Park?
    HARISH KAPADIA A Siachen Peace Park? e were staying in army bunkers at base camp on the Siachen glacier. W In the next room I could hear my son, Nawang, then a young man of 20 years, talking with equally young lieutenants and captains of the Indian army. They were discussing their exploits on the glacier, the war and agitatedly talking about the friends being wounded and killed all around them. One well-meaning officer pointedly said to me as I entered the room to join the discussion: 'I am ready to fight for my country and defend the Siachen. But sir, I am young and I do not want my children and grand-children sitting on this high, forlorn Saltoro ridge defending the Siachen glacier. Why can't we have some solution to this wretched problem?' Another young officer added: 'Look at the glacier, a pristine mountain area polluted almost beyond repair. It will take decades, if not a century to rejuvenate. Something must be done.' These dedicated officers of the Indian army left the seed of an idea in my mind. This world is a legacy for the young, an area like Siachen belongs to them. They were ready to guard it with their lives; they meant well. My son, excited at the prospect of defending his country alongside other officers, had worked hard andjoined the army as a Gorkha Officer. Shortly thereafter he fell to a terrorist bullet in this bloody war in Kashmir. That seed of an idea became a raison d 'etre of my life.

  • Satellite Imagery, Remote Sensing, and Diminishing the Risk of Nuclear
    UNITED STATES INSTITUTE OF PEACE www.usip.org SPECIAL REPORT 2301 Constitution Ave., NW • Washington, DC 20037 • 202.457.1700 • fax 202.429.6063 ABOUT THE REPORT Jay Wise This report examines US concerns regarding India-Pakistan security competition and assesses whether new and emerging technology could mitigate the risks of inadvertent escalation or the unauthorized use or theft of nuclear materials on the subcontinent. It is supported by the Asia Center at Satellite Imagery, the United States Institute of Peace. The analysis and opinion expressed are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the intelligence community, Department of Defense, Department of State, or the US Government. Remote Sensing, and ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jay Wise was a Jennings Randolph Senior Fellow at USIP. Before Diminishing the Risk of that, he served as director for Pakistan at the National Security Council, worked for the Department of Defense on Afghanistan and Pakistan and counterterrorism issues, served as a director Nuclear War in South Asia for Pakistan in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and was deployed several times for the Department of Defense, including most recently to Afghanistan as a senior advisor in 2014–15. He is currently employed at the State Department. Summary • Structural political and security factors generate persistent security competition on the South Asian subcontinent. • This competition in turn creates a small but difficult-to-close window for nuclear catastrophe. • However unlikely, deployment of tactical nuclear weapons can open the door to inadvertent escalation or unauthorized use or theft. Any of these outcomes would be a catastrophe for the region and the world.

  • Saudi Arabia - India: Strategic Partnership
    Saudi Arabia - India: Strategic Partnership May 4, 2021 Kinda Bakr * 1. Introduction Saudi Arabia and India share friendly relations reflecting historical economic and socio-cultural ties. Diplomatic ties were initially established in 1947, followed by several high-level visits from both sides. In recent years, bilateral relations have further evolved, as evident from frequent visits and exchanges and the establishment of the Indo-Saudi Arabia Strategic Partnership Council. Under Narendra Modi's premiership, the Indian government is developing connections beyond obvious economic motivations, such as India's energy demands and the massive Indian diaspora in the region, including security cooperation. In early 2019, Saudi Arabia and India formed a Strategic Partnership Council to formalize their relationship and aims to increase ties between the two countries. Part of the Saudi Vision 2030 includes, transformations liberalizing social norms and improving government services. Developing mega-projects is expected to increase foreign investment, involve small and medium-sized enterprises in the economy, create jobs, and encourage domestic consumption. The sectors targeted for development include petrochemicals, transportation, entertainment, healthcare, and renewables. Such domestic changes would enable the strengthening of the strategic partnership between Saudi Arabia and India allowing further cooperation in the development of both countries. Accordingly, the following analysis reflects on the emerging strategic dimension of the Saudi-Indo relation within the context of their growing bilateral relations and security threats within their regions, the Middle East and South Asia. This study will highlight significant developments between the two countries in economic, geopolitical, security and defence, and socio-cultural cooperation. 2. Saudi-India Bilateral Relations Even though Saudi Arabia and India did not share close relations until the early 1990s, economic opportunities pushed them to facilitate the pursue increased cooperation.

No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means without permission in writing from ORF. India-Africa Maritime Cooperation: The Case of Western Indian Ocean ABSTRACT The Western Indian Ocean connects North America, Europe and Asia, and as such is of global strategic importance. Its rich natural resource profile has pushed global players, including India, to view the region with increasing interest in recent years. Although for a long time, much of India’s political attention was directed towards its eastern neighbourhood, in recent years, the country has begun giving more attention to maritime security in its west, where the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea meet. Today there is a proactive reorientation and rebalance in India’s nautical outlook towards its West, especially with the African Indian Ocean Rim littorals. While India’s compulsions for energy security and its dependence on overseas resources has been the biggest pull drawing India closer to the region, this paper calls on India to play a greater role in shaping the maritime security architecture in the Western Indian Ocean.

  • The Growing Power of the Indian Navy: Westward Bound
    The Growing Power of the Indian Navy: Westward Bound Yuval Zur, Tamir Magal, and Nadav Kedem Introduction India is a rapidly developing nation enjoying impressive economic growth.1 Its influence in the international arena has increased over the years and is expected to continue to rise.2 Alongside this expanding influence, the country is experiencing a burgeoning sense of identity as an international power, and there is a growing perception in India that its national interests extend far beyond its sovereign borders. Hence the country’s efforts to protect those interests through maritime diplomacy and, in the same context, project its maritime power in relevant regions. In other words, India is interested in expanding its capabilities to protect its vital interests, by expanding its presence and gaining sustained sea control and maritime awareness beyond its territorial boundaries. This article reviews India’s gradual rise to the status of international power and its growing interest in the “expanded neighborhood,”3 with a focus on the western section of that “neighborhood.” This comprises, first and foremost, the maritime region west of India through the Strait of Hormuz in the north and the Gulf of Aden and Horn of Africa in the south, and also includes the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, and the East African coast. The terms “power projection,” “sea power,” and “blue-water navy” will be explained through a review of the Indian Navy’s development and its Admiral (ret.) Yuval Zur was assistant commander of the Israeli Navy. After his retirement from the IDF he served as assistant head of the Israel Atomic Energy Commission.
