LAHORE In order to step up military build-up against China and disrupt security-balance in South Asia, rulers in New Delhi have planned to spend an estimated $80 billion on military modernization programs by 2015.
It (India) is expected to maintain this position in the coming years, with plans to spend an estimated $80 billion on military modernization programs by 2015, the Washington-based Center For Strategic & International Studies (CSIS) has revealed in its critical report.
While exposing Indias nefarious designs the report further mentioned that at the same time, the Indian Ministry of Defence has laid out an ambitious agenda to substantially increase the countrys capacity to produce military hardware by the end of the decade. The huge defence spending plan is aimed at destroying regional peace and stability besides posing a real threat to emerging superpower China and to crush uprising, which is spreading its tentacles across India.
Experts termed the ambitious Indian defence policy as a wake up call for Asian powers and said that it reflects the truce face of India.
Defence analysts believe that India is building up its military-capability in order to crush numerous uprising and freedom movements spreading across the shining India where 77 per cent of people are living below poverty line.
They said that violent and deadly strikes by Maoists against Indias security forces had shook the Central government in the past as its security forces lack spirit and modern equipment to fight insurgency. India is going to finalise arms deal with world powers in order to equip its security forces with sophisticated weapons. This (deal) will enable its security forces to fight insurgency, they added.
According to them, more than 100,000 troops are already involved in anti-Maoist operation that is in progress across five states - West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, Orissa and Chhattisgarh. He observed that the military operation in insurgency-hit states would be very tough as Indian forces are already trapped in Occupied Kashmir and Assam etc.
