Reflection time for India  

Letter September 22, 2016
The level of competence of the Indian army is so low

KARACHI: Indians should ask their government how only four Pakistanis were able to capture a heavily fortified airbase recently with such ease. By the same token, it will require only 40 people to take over New Delhi and perhaps, only 400 to conquer the whole of India. If the level of competence of the Indian army is so low, why is the Indian government spending billions on defence? What is the use of keeping 700,000 soldiers in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, if they cannot prevent just four men from entering and wreaking havoc?
