The abolition of Article 370 only opens up new opportunities for Kashmiris. Economic measures with clear signs of sustainability will establish the goodness of the Centre's political strategy on J&K, writes Lt Gen Subrata Saha

The strong political mandate allows for strategic reforms of the nation’s military

Motives behind Pulwama show that India must focus on dividing its adversaries’ unholy alliance, and on Kashmir’s ‘integration’, not ‘special status’

We need regulations that safeguard national security during political campaigns by preventing military operations from being drawn into the arena

From ‘all-out war’ to ‘controlled war’, India has changed gear in its military response to Pakistan-sponsored terrorism

In blunting Pakistan’s asymmetric, ‘hybrid’ war on us, conventionally punitive measures have to mingle with counter-propaganda, cyber control

Two interesting features that stand out in PM Modi's visit are: first, a new approach to India-Russia relations through the Indo-Pacific, and second, reinvigorating a time-honored bond with Russia.

This decision is perhaps the finest tribute to the thousands of security forces, political leaders/workers, journalists and innocent civilians who have lost their lives for the cause of integration of Jammu and Kashmir with India.

There are a multitude of factors to be considered: morale of the forces, mood of the nation, potential escalation of conflict, and possibility of casualties. Unlike the Uri attack of September 2016 which was on the line of control, this is deep in the hinterland and the terrorist is local.
