ORF Fellows Seminar on China's Military Civil Fusion

I participated in the ORF Fellows seminar on China's Military Civil Fusion. The basic research paper was presented by Dr Manoj Joshi. It was a well researched paper and presented eloquently. Dr Amrita Jash of Manipal University and I were the co panellists. The proceedings of the panel are in the video below

Every nation must go through the process of Military Civil Fusion if it is to attain greatness. The colonial powers did it in the 19th century. USA and Russia have done that in the last century. China is doing it now. The subject of China's Military Civil Fusion is very important for India since it gives us a model to work upon if we strive for greatness.Dr Manoj Joshi's paper is @, China’s Military-Civil Fusion Strategy, the US Response, and Implications for India | ORF (orfonline.org).

Recently I had given a talk at the Chennai Centre for China Studies on this subject. It was based on an article written by me. My article is available @https://www.gunnersshot.com/2021/11/civil-military-fusion-indian-necessity.html . The proceedings of the Institutional talk I gave at C3S are @https://www.gunnersshot.com/2022/02/blog-post_23.html.

THE POST BALAKOT REVIEW BY LT GEN P R SHANKAR (R)

The Pakistani FM to BBC: War would be suicidal. Pakistan has already started negotiating with a gun to its head! Welcome home Wing Commander Abhinanadan. Well done. You flew into the Valley of Death and survived. India is proud. Sincere condolences to Air Marshal Waseem Ud Din on the loss of his son Shahaz Ud Din under most unfortunate circumstances. He was incredibly brave to continue his mission when others had turned around. Paradigm Emerged A lot has happened since Balakot. Some in focus some out. Some hyped. Some diffused. Time to sum up the situation and see where things are heading. Militarily it is called Review of the Situation. I will do it journalistically so that the intellectual western media understands it. They might or not buy our story. Incidentally it is not a story. It is not for sale. This is real live action. Nuclear exchange receding. Not ruled out. A fundamental paradigm has emerged. India’s fight is ag...

Don’t Burn the Last Bastion by Lt Gen P R Shankar (R)

‘Sir, will China invade us?’ ‘We hear China has increased activities on the border’. Chinese consolidation activities on the LAC have prompted such reactions and fears. Lot of such inquiries from citizens within and outside India. Why? Bodies floating down Ganga, mass graves, lack of oxygen, medicines or hospital beds, botched vaccination program, uninterrupted work on Central Vista - all these have eroded our political capital immensely and seeded such doubts. Our national institutions are being compared to ‘rottweilers’ in the media. Economy? Unemployment figures and stock markets – both rattling up. Strangest combination. Rich getting richer and poor getting poorer. An ominous divergence which bodes ill. Leadership? Kis Chidiya ka naam hai bhai? National level paralysis in responding to the second wave. Erosion in comprehensive national power. Many have never experienced India being so weak. Nor did I for that matter. This frightening experience ...

I STARTED THE BLOG IN MARCH 2019 WHEN SOME OF MY ARTICLES WERE REJECTED BY NATIONAL MEDIA AND REPUTED PLATFORMS. THEY PROBABLY FELT THAT MY ARTICLES DO NOT DESERVE SPACE IN THEIR PUBLICATIONS.

I HAVE ALSO FELT THAT IT IS IMPORTANT FOR EVERY INDIAN TO KNOW WHAT IS RELEVANT FOR OUR SECURITY IN AS SIMPLE TERMS AS POSSIBLE. IT IS ONLY THEN THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO APPRECIATE AND SUPPORT THE ARMED FORCE...
