How China the Bully was Tamed. ft. Gen. Manoj M Naravane (Retd) | Jist

Показать описание
General Manoj Mukund Naravane served, as the Indian Army Chief, during one of the most challenging times for India in recent memory.
Soon after he took charge came the Covid-19 pandemic. Then just as India went into a lockdown came the Chinese aggression on the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh.
In a one and a-half hour long conversation with Jist News Director Rahul Shrivastava, General Naravane recounts in detail the response of the Indian Army. He reveals how the violation of protocols by the PLA were challenged and a message was conveyed that India has developed the capability to defend itself in the harsh Himalayan terrain.
Apart from boosting troop morale by visiting the frontlines, General Naravane oversaw a push for border infrastructure for speedier mobilisation. It meant that roads and bridges, that would take about four years in a routine course of work, were built in 12 months.
He emphasised innovation which resulted in modifications to weapon systems, like the K9 Vajra, making them suitable for deployment in high altitudes.
General Naravane believes modernisation of the armed forces is essential. He says that to ensure peace, a country must prepare for war.
It's been two and a-half years since he retired. Unlike the Pakistani generals, who are known for the lavish post-retirement mansions, General Naravane lives modestly.
The release of his memoir is pending clearance from the Ministry of Defence and the Army. He has already sent his second book for publishing. This time the General is coming out with a fictional account of a murder in a cantonment.
