Indian Special Forces

A king that leads the vanguard truly a class apart.
Peope Like these should have been defence ministers.
Some 7 decades later we still have no people from the forces as defence minister.
Perhaps the fear of coup resides in the both sections of political spectrum.
Kings were much much much better than any politician India has ever produced.

Everyone is corrupt in democracy.

At least kings had their skin in the game , loosing a war would mean death for them and their family.
Politicians on the other hand gobble money and bounce if things get even a little ugly.

Moreover one kings family cant loot a lot…look at India being plundered by every chutia party of the country.

GoI/MoD isn't really bold enough to undertake an op on the lines of NATO countries where we enter deep into enemy territory to take down a HVT or rescue a critical asset. Our so called "surgical strikes" which GoI gloats about for instance are no different to the BAT raids but PA/SSG/ISI have been doing since decades. We don't have it in us to take the fight to them, use our SOF units to constantly engage and take down terrorist hubs and training camps along the LoC which'll instill fear

MARCOS are the closest to what a modern day SOF unit is but their exposure to active conflict is limited. They're still trying their best by deploying in every pirate op they can get their hands on. I'm sure IA is way too egoistic to involve MARCOS in CI/CT ops while Garuds oth don't even know what their mandate is

The only active encounters we have are in Kashmir and NE...and I feel it's ok to deploy Para SF in ops where we actually need to hunt em down in the deep jungles while terrorists holed up in a house or any urban building should be taken care of by RR & JKP SOG to ensure they're constantly exposed and acclimated to active conflict instead of being underused like Chinese SOF where most operators might not see any real engagements in their tenure. On a similar note, Turks constantly use their Army and Navy SOF on a regular basis to deal with the Kurds and other adversaries in the region

To be honest if we captured 10 kms of land ahead of LOC and created another 5 kms ahead of no mans land with constant arty shelling there is nothing Pakis could do..not even use nukes.

We could have bled them as they are bhikhari.

But either Modi has done some stupid deal with Rawalpindi or Modi has turned coward.

Historically, we've been a bunch of softies. Hindu kings never went on the offensive and ended up loosing land to the Islamic hordes of Central Asia & Gulf primarily due to their defensive approach and appeasement policies and the current establishment isn't any different.

We're ok with loosing tens of thousands of soldiers over a decade to keep the status quo intact but loosing a few hundred or couple of thousand men over a short span for strategic gains would create chaos in the masses and the possibility of their govt being toppled
