Yes India is weak by choice
There’s a big gap between having appropriate hard power to your size and being a security failed state
In real terms India spends less as a % of GDP today than in the 1960s
$4TN economy and it doesn’t even have the basics for its military
These are all choices
You are Leaderji
Take the red pill to buy the fanciest imported maal and fund all deshi projects in devlopment, but you have to cut on freebie spending
Take the blue pill to fund Lawde ki Behen, free bijli, subsidized gas etc schemes to win elections but you have to keep defense spending at around 2%

OTOH Leaderji can just shove both pill in his mouth but then it will mess with the ((( fiscal discipline ))) the govt practices
