Gone are those days when ‘Globally Inconsequential India’ used to harp for diplomatic shelter to cover up the transgressions of foreign terrorism. The ‘New India’ has developed a refurbished vigour to go ‘all guns blazing’ against any evil eye that tries to carry out any devilish agenda against the nation. India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has adopted a decisively aggressive counter offensive policy of “नया हिन्दुस्तान, जो घर में घुसकर मारेगा”.
Cold start, hit hard strategy of India
To tackle any potential attacks and prospective incursions, the military and air defence capabilities of the nation has been revamped, with better equipped troops stationed along the LOC and LAC borders. Further, the nation has developed a “cold start” military doctrine to launch a rapid and decisive conventional military response to tackle any prospective terrorist attack with improved intelligence gathering and analysis capabilities.
Additionally, India has been engaging with other countries to build an international coalition against terrorism and to strengthen the counterterrorism capabilities. These include sharing intelligence, law enforcement cooperation and collaborating military operations. However, the key role in garnering international interests towards India owes it to the formidable efforts undertaken by the erudite statesmanship of the present Foreign Minister, Dr. S. Jaishankar.
