Sun Tzu   A FOLLOWUP ON  ACROSS THE WALL - NATIONALISM TO AGGRESSION   At the outset, the face offs at Galwan and Nakula are uncharacteristic; in hitherto-fore undisputed areas. These have a co-relationship. Currently there are three ongoing standoffs between India and China at Demchok, Fingers and Galwan areas (see map). Probably one more at DBO as per some reports. These have been analyzed by experts.  However. What is China’s motive in these actions? That is not clear. When I was pondering about it, my mind went back to 1999 when I was commanding my Artillery unit in direct support of the Muguthang Brigade. The penny dropped for me and a very plausible motive came forth.

I am clear and confident that Indian Army will give a befitting reply under the circumstances. China's actions are out of type and not routine.                                  The Standoffs .    There are three ongoing standoffs in the Northern Sector at Galwan, Fingers Area and Demchok. One standoff took place at NakuLa in the East. An instigation through Nepal at Lipulekh Pass is ongoing. It covers almost the whole LAC. Many reasons can be ascribed for this aggression against India – routine summer infringements, objection to border infrastructure improvement, Atma Nirbhar Abhiyan, tacit support to Taiwan, not joining RC

Add caption General Corporatization of OFB and ‘not privatization’ repeat ‘not privatization’ of OFB was announced with emphasis by the Finance Minister as one of the big bang reforms being undertaken in the Defense Sector as part of the  Atma Nirbharta campaign. I welcome it whole heartedly. It is more than time for this reform to happen. However in the past few days the social media is flooded with views and suggested SOPs to corporatize the OFB. One look at the SOPs, suggestions and arguments which are floating suggests that these are attempts by vested interests to hijack the agenda. Some are apparently from within to maintain status quo to live happily ever after. Some to craft a new system to the insidious advantage of the chosen few. That is when I thought that I should throw in my hat in the ring and weigh in my opinion despite all that is happening in China and about the Virus. For a change they can wait. To my mind there are some serious issues which merit a

A Follow up on  The Chinese Checkers  and  Corona The Chinese Chernobyl                                   The World wants China to be like it!                                                      China wants the World to be like it! General Things are moving quite rapidly globally. The Virus is raging on, under control or making a comeback depending on where you are. Equally Chinese aggression, Chinese Diplomacy, and China led New World Order are being debated hotly. Makes one wonder. Is China the only country in the world? However certain events suggest that things are not rosy. Outward appearances could bely the actual inside health. Within China itself things seem to be “IFFY”. Hence it is time to take a dive into China to see what is happening there.     Corona Virus Scene Has the virus come back home to roost in Wuhan? The entire city of 11 million is now being tested.  Shulan, in Jilin Province has seen an outbreak.  It has set off alarm bells in nei
