India's increasing troop may go nowhere

India plans to recruit 100,000 soldiers over the next five years and send them to the China-India border areas to cement its military strength there, according to a report by the Times of India on Nov. 2. India's defense ministry has already approved a 13 billion-U.S. dollar military modernization plan.

The average growth rate of India's military spending has stood at 7 percent to 8 percent for more than a decade, and its military spending ranks ninth in the world. India is also the world's largest arms imports country. The spread of the "China threat" theory, the increase of troops to the disputed areas near the China-India border, and the display of a tough attitude toward China all aim to make a breakthrough in further increasing military spending.

Despite India’s huge military spending, its economic growth has recently been slow, with last year’s economic growth rate hitting a six-year low. It is very difficult to considerably increase military spending for military buildup amid the economic downturn, so India needs to first create a tense atmosphere and transfer domestic problems in hopes of securing more military spending.

India has continued to hold joint military drills with China's neighboring countries over a recent period, showing it evidently intends to contain China. Furthermore, India's move to send an additional 100,000 soldiers to the China-India border areas is consistent with its earlier actions aimed at containing China.

In addition, the United States needs to rely on India to restrict China. India needs to show its value to the United States by flexing its muscle toward China so that it could gain U.S. military support and help raise its international status. India's troop increase on the border between China and India is aimed at meeting the requirements of the United States and then getting support from the United States. However, will India realize its goal?

First, the action will tense the situation of the region and harm India's own interests. Increasing troops on the border area is always a sensitive move and it is especially sensitive to increase troops on a disputed border area.

Second, the action is completely not worthwhile. Currently, India has 40,000 troops in the disputed area, and if the further 100,000 is deployed, the total number of the troops will reach 140,000. In an era when precision-guided weapons are developing rapidly, everyone with common sense knows that concentrated troops could be eliminated easily. Meanwhile, 13 billion U.S. dollars is really a lot of money for India, and it is still unpredictable whether the future cost of maintenance will be guaranteed.

lol?

Is the author assuming that the Indians will go up there willing to fight with sticks and stones?

I understand the need for such an article in the Chinese media from their respective POV, but this article is a poor one I'd say. Just poor.

 

[patriot_indian]

1.History tells us that when a nation acquires massive military might, it comes under various internal and even external pressure to wage war.

2. India will not take on Pakistan because of the nuclear factor. India will not take on China, in spite of pressure form the West, again because of the nuclear factor. Try as much as she will, India will never be anything more than an irritation to China. China is way too powerful, united and organized a nation to be bothered by India.

3. Therefore, the potential target for India's growing military has to be BD. The two Strike Corps she is raising ostensibly targeting Tibet, could well be turned round to invade BD during a winter when the Himalayas will be blocked.

So Chinese mouthpiece has the same quality as that of rupee news.

 

[khalidwaleed]

Why should India invade BD in this winter or in any winter?. With all respect, i must say that there is no current or historical factor justifying your view. You can trust India more than China.

Except that Rupee News does not have command of the largest army in the world, with the second largest defence budget in the world.

The People's Daily, is the party newspaper of the CPC.

You can trust India more than China.

And China is Bangladesh's largest source of arms

our BSF are more than enough for BD

I assume you are speaking from experience? The BSF and BDR (a paramilitary organization) only engaged in small skirmishes in the past. Not with the entire military of Bangladesh.

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

inspite of all these still same standard

What do you think it means when the "state-media" of China is constantly publishing negative articles on India?

It means that your entry into the South China sea has caught the eye of the CPC once again, just like before 1962.

You need to get over this India attacking paranoia. You are still stuck in East Pakistan era! Wake up its Bangladesh now. India will achieve nothing out of attacking Bangladesh

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

oh and China will do a repeat of 1962!!!!!!
brrrrrr ohhhhhhh i am scared

LOL, I didn't say that, you did.

And Nehru was very overconfident as well, just like you.

That is really worrying,with brain farts like this they don't even deserve to control Liberian armed forces.
