pakistan will never get involved in a war. they hide behind nukes because they know its impossible for them to fight a full-fledged war against India and also maintain peace on their western border. the problem with indian political leadership is they are too scared of the after-effects of a strong Indian retaliation. my guess is they believe pakistan will become an iraq like situation, which india will have to handle.
I will also add one more point, in this modern age of India, general public have came long way and are out of touch at emergency war situations (sheer panick). We as a citizens cant even manage through demonitisation (most people).
Preparation for war should also consist civilian management. Complete reserve police, crpf deployment in whole country to manage affairs business as usual. Even small business people will extort money for daily ration (remember salt story people bought it for 500rs
). India should increase its government cold storage facilities and modernise existing ones in quality as well as quantity for minimum 6 months to sustain war.Because if any call for war , people start to cue lines. Internal forces wake up to create havoc.
There are many civil war prep drawbacks if we compare to that our armed forces are way well off lol.
Until we prepare inward look of country for sustainability. We will remain defensive armed force. And it always remain as defensive force no matter how advanced is our war machinery.
What about civil war (if war broke out). Entire sway of south east will fall for naxals and spread there wings because they will have arms en ammunition. Since people dont have weapons to save themselves goi will be burdened with shortage of guns and rifles. Goi cant even supply enough ammunition to forces with out shortages.
If government fail to empower few people with arms to defend themselves. Pockets of areas fall for naxal bases.
So many scenarios in internal security itself, leave alone war which many people here bash bjp or congress for not acting tough... but i agree politicians are acting like hijraas ex these very mp's didn't even meet quorum to support bill to label pakistan as terror state. Such a spineless crooks. Atleast we can raise the burden of consequence to the enemies.
