Defence

Defence is no longer only a matter of war and peace—it is a tool for diplomacy, economic security, technological leadership and the balancing of powers in the world. This is a segment of BharatVichar that provides you a detailed analysis of military issues, defence policy, Armed forces, new technologies, intelligence, national security, strategies of deterrence and the nature of modern warfare. 


We offer well-informed analysis on India's defence preparedness and indigenous capabilities, military developments worldwide, geopolitical flash points, and future trends in warfare, which go beyond mere headlines. We want readers to not only get the picture of what's going on, but also the why and the how of it with respect to India, the region, and the broader international security landscape. 


As a strategic affairs enthusiast, policymaker, researcher, student, or defence professional, you'll find thought-provoking analysis of the issues and opportunities that will define the future security landscape.
