NOT from New Dehli, but from Washington DC:
[Indian strategists seem to believe that they could benefit from the partnership with the US. However, they have not been achieving what they intended to accomplish. Conversely, they are unable to evade India’s unnecessary involvement in the American-led efforts to contain China in its back yard and the Indian Ocean rim. Indian strategists have failed to resist US pressure.]
[For instance, Chinese and Indian militaries faced off at the Doklam tri-junction of Bhutan, China, and India in the summer of 2017. The standoff happened after the India-US Logistics Exchange Memorandum of Agreement (LEMOA) was signed in 2016. The deal gives the US and India access to each other’s military facilities for logistic support on a reimbursable basis. After overrating the scope of LEMOA, Modi was about to declare war on China. It was India’s most significant loss on the diplomatic front.]
==================
[The US has all along interfered in India-China issues. More than ever before, a Sino-Indian confrontation fits in perfectly with the United States’ current regional strategies in Asia. Day-to-day monitoring and interference in India’s news cycles is taking place.]
[The ASPI analysts specialize in manufacturing “research materials” pointing to the strategic threat of China. ]
[Above all, Doval belongs to a vanishing breed of top officials who sees national security challenges entirely through the prism of Indian interests, and has no patrons abroad. Quite obviously, this poses a particularly nightmarish situation to the Americans, who are control freaks.
But no country will allow bazaar gossip by its own citizens over its national security concerns. Surely something can be done to put an end to such subversion? MacArthur syndrome haunts India. Rogue elements within its establishment are planting media leaks with ulterior intent.]
