06 JAN,2012:INDIA has inducted nuclear, biological and chemical equipment for use in army and navy under the pretext of detection, protection and decontamination of dirty nuclear bombs while the other day Cabinet cleared the Rs 6,600-crore acquisition of 490 French advanced missile systems to arm the Mirage-2000 fighter jets.
In fact India has been on a massive arms buying spree from the right and the left to further gear up its war machine in an attempt to become the regional policeman while millions of its people are suffering from poverty. Indias particular focus is on acquiring sea power not only to dominate the Indian Ocean but to extend it to South China Sea. New Delhi acquired the nuclear powered attack submarine Nerpa from Russia last month and is currently completing the development of its own Arihant-class nulear powered ballistic submarines. It is also in the process of buying six Russian P-751 submarines at an estimated cost of $10.72bn in addition to six French Scorpene submarines. Prestigious Foreign Policy Magazine quoting top rated arms watch dogs has brought into focus the rising power of Indias military profile that is being determinedly crafted through allocation of large and sustained spending to provide India with the military muscle to dominate the region. Under its newly designed war doctrine to confront Pakistan and China simultaneously, New Delhi is building its military muscles and planned to spend an estimated $80 billion on military modernization programmes in the next five years on purchase of advanced weapons from Russia, Israel, European nations and the United States. The question arises why India is going for this massive arms purchase programme while it faces no threat from the neighbouring countries. This also runs contrary to occasional pious intentions from Indian Prime Minister that New Delhi wants to live in peace with all neighbours. In this scenario, we would caution the Pakistan government and the defence establishment that the cutting edge of Indian military capability still and for long times to come, will continue to remain Pakistan centric. This presents difficult options to maintain a credible balance of deterrence. In this stark calculus Pakistans nuclear deterrence acquires a vital and an irrefutable relevance of its own.
