Take the war to the waters..There is a huge coast line along the western border of India....Assuming the govt plans to create a Naval base every 200 kms with possibility of small ships equipped with missiles,the job is done....We have missiles capable of being launched from canisters...Such missiles could be placed on small ships which could be used to fire in Pakistan territory...Now pakistan will require to fire missiles at small ships to destroy them...This means a lot of Pakistan arsenal would be lost if they have to counter such ships firing agni2/3....Civilian casualties could be reduced to a great extent more

We must be more indigeneous and not allow leaders to cheat people's hardearned money paid by taxes in scams and deals meant to satisfy their personal worth.Defence deals must be properly scanned and there must be a fast paced process to clear them after thoroughly reviewing them.Defence equipments which are urgent like unmanned UAVs or submarines must be approved ASAP.Unless we go fast faced on buying defence equipment our neighbours like Pakistan will go ahead of us by tying up with China.We must also cater to Naxalites,Maoists threats and take help from other countries to nullify them.Unless states are free of terror,business cannot thrive there and no body will invest in those states. more
