India's strategic situation in Dec 2025

I am Colonel Alok Asthana — a soldier by training, a writer by instinct, and a reformer by conviction.
After over three decades in uniform, I realized that courage on the battlefield must be matched by courage in thought.
That realization has shaped my mission ever since.
I write — and speak — about the unseen structures that define leadership, accountability, and decision-making in the Indian military. My books are on my book site (https://alok-books.lovable.app) and my writings on Substack (indiansalute.substack.com)
