13 दिसंबर 2001 को संसद पर आतंकवादी हमले के मद्देनजर शुरू किया गया ऑपरेशन पराक्रम, 1971 के भारत-पाक युद्ध के बाद पहला पूर्ण पैमाने पर लामबंदी था। यह सुरक्षा के कैबिनेट कमेटी (सीसीएस) के फैसले के बाद 15 दिसंबर, 2001 को शुरू हुआ और 3 जनवरी, 2002 को पूरा हुआ। यह अंततः 16 अक्टूबर, 2002 को समाप्त हुआ जब सीसीएस ने मान्यता दी कि घटते रिटर्न का कानून पहले से ही लागू था। तीन "स्ट्राइक कॉर्प्स" (1, 2 और 21 कॉर्प्स) ने अपनी लामबंदी पूरी करने में लगभग तीन सप्ताह का समय लिया, और इस धीमी गति की लामबंदी, विशेषज्ञों को लगता है, ने अपनी बढ़त से समझौता किया। दोनों ने अपनी युद्ध मशीनों को खतरनाक स्तर तक बढ़ाया और कम से कम दो बार वास्तविक युद्ध के कगार पर पहुंच गए - परमाणु स्तर तक बढ़ने की एक स्वीकृत, संभावित क्षमता के साथ। हालांकि, संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका और अन्य पश्चिमी सरकारों ने चतुर कूटनीतिक युद्धाभ्यास के साथ कदम रखा, जिसके परिणामस्वरूप 12 जनवरी, 2002 को राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर प्रसारित भाषण में जनरल मुशर्रफ की प्रतिबद्धता का सामना करना पड़ा, कि पाकिस्तान "अपनी धरती से किसी भी आतंकवादी गतिविधि की अनुमति नहीं देगा"। इस्लामाबाद पर अधिक से अधिक अंतरराष्ट्रीय दबाव बनाने के लिए भारत के पर्याप्त लाभ की कमी को भी ऑपरेशन पराक्रम को बंद करने के एक कारण के रूप में उद्धृत किया गया है।तब से सेना की लामबंदी की रणनीति में बड़े बदलाव और सुधार किए गए हैं। सेना अपने कोल्ड स्टार्ट वॉरफाइटिंग सिद्धांत को परिष्कृत करती है जो परमाणु ओवरहैंग के तहत तेज संचालन में न्यूनतम समय में अधिकतम बल लगाता है। आज, भारत आखिरकार पाकिस्तान को उसके अपने सिक्के में वापस भुगतान करने के लिए तैयार है, और जिस भाषा में वह समझता है उस भाषा में बात करता है। यह 2016 में कायराना उरी हमले के बाद इसके जवाबी कार्रवाई में स्पष्ट हो गया।

भारतशक्ति के साप्ताहिक कार्यक्रम डिफेंस मंत्रा के इस एपिसोड में रक्षा विशेषज्ञ नितिन गोखले कुछ अहम सवाल का जवाब दे रहीं हैं।

Two decades ago, a dastardly terrorist attack on India’s parliament by Pakistan-based terrorists led to a massive mobilization of troops on India’s western front. The threat of a war between two nuclear-armed countries alarmed world powers. Eventually, no war took place but the exercise—Operation Parakram—offered several lessons that India took note of and subsequently rejigged its military doctrine. In this episode of ‘News Warrior’, BharatShakti.in & StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale tells us how it began and what followed.

पचास साल पहले इसी महीने, भारत ने पाकिस्तान को सिर्फ 13 दिनों तक चले युद्ध में हरा दिया और बांग्लादेश का निर्माण हुआ। पाकिस्तानी सेना द्वारा हत्या और अत्याचार की होड़ में चले जाने के बाद पूर्वी पाकिस्तान से शरणार्थियों की निरंतर धारा से भारत परेशान था। लेकिन भारत युद्ध शुरू नहीं करना चाहता था इसलिए उसने इंतजार किया। इस बीच, रिसर्च एंड एनालिसिस विंग ने पर्दे के पीछे से काम किया, पूर्वी पाकिस्तान में अवामी लीग के नेतृत्व के साथ मिलकर काम किया और एक आक्रामक की तैयारी की, लेकिन यह सुनिश्चित किया कि भारत हमलावर न हो। 'डिफेंस मंत्र' पॉडकास्ट के पहले एपिसोड में, रक्षा विश्लेषक नितिन ए. गोखले, नीलांजना बनर्जी के साथ बातचीत में बताते हैं कि भारत ने पाकिस्तान को कैसे पछाड़ दिया।

This month half a century ago, India defeated Pakistan in a war that lasted just 13 days and led to the creation of Bangladesh. India was troubled by the steady stream of refugees from what was East Pakistan after the Pakistani army went on a killing and torturing spree. But India didn’t want to initiate the war so it waited. In the meantime, the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) worked behind the scenes, closely coordinating with the Awami League leadership in East Pakistan and preparing for an offensive yet making sure India was not the aggressor. In this episode of ‘News Warrior’, BharatShakti &  StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale narrates how India outmanoeuvred Pakistan.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has managed yet another endorsement from the Communist  Party, one that puts him in league with Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, the two leaders who ruled China for long.

He hasn’t spared the Chinese either, with crackdowns on wealthy businessmen, celebrities, etc. In this episode of ‘News Warrior’, BharatShakti.in  & StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale delves into why Xi Jinping’s insecurity and unbridled power is a source of concern for others.
