Friends
& Critics – KARGIL DAY SPECIAL
Some Facts of three past major, military
events of the country. We shall also discuss Trust Worthy, Or Un Trust
Worthy Friends or our True Friends.
A-
1962 – famous Chinese debacle : (a) Just 10 year had
passed to India’s Independence (After the first General Elections held in 1952.)
WW – 2 had just ended in 1945. New global military alignments were in the
offing. A new world order militarily (NATO – WARSAPACT) and separate NAM Non
Alignment was being experimented. The top Indian political leadership was literally
sandwiched between these three classicals. Our political leadership lead by JLN
tried the old Gandhian thoughts. May be Nehru dint succeed (for the information
Sardar Patel the Iron Man had died on 15 Dec. 1950).
B-
1971 – The famous Bangladesh War. : (a) The great visionary
leadership of Indira Gandhi. (b) She utilized the INT agencies fully. (c) The
first high jacking in 1971 was master minded by our RAW and the Pakis were held
responsible. This initiated the stoppages of overflights of PAK military Aircraft
from WEST to EAST. (d) Excellent equation of military and political leadership.
(e) Diplomatic reach to world leaders. She Signed a 20 years military and
political friendship treaty with the erstwhile USSR, and sent her other senior
cabinet colleagues to other countries to make India’s position clear and known.
(f) An other example of excellent usages
of int was to leak out to PAK’S that India would attack on third December. (Where
as it was planned for 4th Dec.) PAK’S were trapped and they took an offensive
on 3rd Dec. and India started pouncing them on 4th Dec.
Morning. India attained Air Superiority in first 3 days and finished the war in
just 13 days (which was expected to last about 20 days).
C-
1999 – ABV (a) close the door of INT. (b) Too
much of trustworthiness and expectation. (c) October 1998 INT agencies were adviset
go slow on PAK because the leadership was over whelmed by February 1999 Bus
Yatra. (For detail on Kargil War u may go through my post on blog : http://airmarshalashokgoel.blogspot.com/).
D-
2020 - Galwan Vally (East of Ladakh) (a) Lacked Intelligence (b) A
white paper should be circulated by the GOI. Indicating LAC as perceived by
India and as dictated by Chinese (c) Position of Troops on of May 2014, Sep.
2014 (this was the first visit XI to India). Since our PM has had 12 meetings
with XI in India or abroad. (d) Position
of troops as on 05 May 2020, on 05 June, 14 June. This would generate the
confidence of 130 corer people of India in our top leadership.
Trust
Worthy / Un Trust Worthy or True Friends
A-
After 1962 War Americans offered massive military aid
to India. What actually offered was only an organization called DGS. That is Directorate
General of Security. We got three Wings ARC, SFF and SSB. They also gave us
some C-46 Aircraft, The aim was (as spelt out by Americans) to capture Tibet by
Airborne operations. Which remained a dream and continues to be a dream. The US
have proved from Time to Time Un Trust Worthy except occasionally when Big dollar
related Military Equipments is to be inducted. Only true friend has been
erstwhile USSR or now RUSSIA.
