in early 2000's, china too talked the same language, started talking about "peaceful rise".
defence budget is a separate issue.
but yes, Indian government not just now but for decades, does not want to seen as a warmongering nation. any nation which openly talks about intent to conduct war, will face the hammer from rest of the world. we know how your favourite peopleruined iran and syria when they openly expressed military intent.
same with pakistan, the more they encouraged proxy war with India since 89, the more their foreign policy space shrinked.
yes it is the babus who advise PMO on these foreign policy statements, not just for the current PM, for past and future PMs also.
No it is not.
it is what i am saying
Some baboon has put it in his mind
"that upping defense budget will be seen as military build up and "aggression" "
apart from willful chindigiri this is the only other theory i have as for the state of defence budget.
