editor-in-chief

From the entire team at DSA I extend our warmest seasonsgreetings and happy new-year to you, dear reader. We ride into thenew-year on the back of an exciting period at DSA. We launchedDSA in the last quarter of 2009, and in this limited time, wehave made a mark. There is an audible appreciation for DSA, andthe response has been positive, to say the least. All that we haveachieved thus far is entirely owed to you dear reader!

While your response has been our best guide in taking DSAforward, what has really changed the nature of our work is how

you have taken an interactive and participative role in making eachcopy. We value our relationship with you, and this will always be the

driving force between us, at DSA, and the dear reader. A numberof valuable suggestions have already come from you, and we lookforward to more such inputs, in the months and years to come.

While we are not soothsayers it is certain 2010 promises to be anexciting year. Having made a modest start in late 2009 we are certainthat 2010 brings exciting days ahead for us. And that sentiment isdictated by our belief in your contributions, intellectual as well asliterary. We will continue to welcome contributions from you dearreader, rather we call upon you for your articles and pieces.

DSA is all about the reader and the environment and that is why we

believe evolution is a part of our ethos. We at DSA will continue toevolve our, your, product so as to keep pace with the demands anddesires of the readers. There will be nothing static in DSA, for that

would be an intellectual disaster for us all.

We, therefore, begin 2010 by highlighting the importance of ournaval capability. Vice Admiral (Retd.) P.S. Das sets the agendafor what we would like to be a nationwide debate. No country hassurvived its ambitions if it has not developed its naval capability.India is remarkably reticent in naval matters despite being the onlycountry anywhere in the world that has an ocean named after it. Nocountry dominates an ocean by the happenstance of geography, asdoes India with the Indian Ocean. The sheer size, location and theshape of the Indian mainland make it appear over its ocean with alook that neednt always be so neglectful.

By any stretch of imagination, and expectation, India has ambitions

in the 21st century. Some of it is of course riding piggyback onthe expected Asian century phenomenon. On the other hand areresponsible members of the country who sincerely believe thatIndia should, can, and will, play a global role in the current century.

Accident of its geography dictates that India cannot play such a roleif it continues to neglect its naval forces. There are no shortcuts forgreat power status is a sine qua nonof sea dominance.

The probability of the next conventional war

breaking out in the mountains is far higher than

that of a war in the plains. With this in view, the

artillery recently conceptualised requirement for a

light-weight towed howitzer of 155mm calibre for

employment in the mountains. A light-weight 39

or 45-calibre 155mm howitzer weighing less than

5,000 kg, with a light but adequately powered prime

mover, is ideal for the mountains

No matter which side India looks to whether north towards Tibet and off late

Nepal, east towards Bangladesh or Myanmar or west to Pakistan it seems to bump

into China. This is because both countries want to establish their own spheres of

To be able to defeat

terrorism of any kindit is necessary toidentify the cruciblein which it has germinated; decrypt its

genes and look for locations where its

spores may have been disseminated. As

these words suggest it is as difficult as

looking for microbes under a scanner.

But it has to be done,methodically andclinically.

Trainings by the CIA (some in US based camps),ISI and Royal Saudi Intelligence had created a new

breed of faith-warriors - jihadis. Maos and Guevarasideological tactics were replaced by religiousfervour and faith which instilled the theory

of inevitability of success of jihadagainst the jahil, kafir and

Contrary to

perception, a suicide

bomber is by and

large not a volunteer.

There is a deliberate

selection process

conducted under

the parameters

of commitmentto religion, desire

for revenge, belief

in cause and

fearlessness. The

selection is done by

a religious teacher

where the bomber is

imbibing education

A study of the lives of 25 human bombs who had

blown themselves in the period 2002-2005 showedthat none of them came from the elite class; they

were all from the lower middle class and middle classfamilies. A poor family background was a common

thread in all of them

On 19th November, a week before the attack, Indian Intelligence Agenciesintercepted telephone conversations indicating that a vessel carryingterrorists had sailed from Karachi and was in a position about 50 miles southwest of that port. Two earlier reports from different agencies, in May andSeptember, had indicated that something big was being planned by Pakistanbased Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists and specifically the Taj and otherhotels located on the sea front could be targeted



22/40

There is need to bring all aspects of maritime security in thecountry under one common superior authority; presently,they are diffused and without accountability. Unity ofcommand, an essential prerequisite to effective counter-terrorism, has not been instituted. Proposals to set up aMaritime Security Agency at an appropriately high level havegot lost once again in the turf wars which are endemic to ourcorridors of power.

China is not yet on the scene but given the pace ofits naval modernization, energy interests and quiteclearly articulated goals, it is inevitable that it willseek to be an IO player before long; its involvementin development of ports in Pakistan, Myanmar andSri Lanka, which might later be available for use byits ships as base facilities, is a harbinger of whatcould lie ahead

Another suggestion in the military field is that India

and Pakistan could, to start with, undertake coordinated

patrolling on the LOC, gradually upgrade to joint

patrolling and eventually, operations a la Bhutan along

the Assam-Bhutan border against the UL A, where the

Bhutanese Army launched strikes and the I ndian Army

sealed the border; this, of course, assumes a high level

of trust against the mutual enemy, terrorists

Indias PM displayed political will and recently once again e tended the hand of

friendship to Pakistan and made an offer of engagement proclaiming that his

Government is ready to talk to anyone for peace and stability in and no

conditions are being laid but wants Pakistan to demonstrate some positive action

to encourage India to restart the stalled peace process

Instruct all personnel, especially those at thetelephone switchboard,in what to do if a bomb-threat is received. A calm response to the bombthreat caller could result in obtaining additional in ormation. This isespecially true if the caller is a genuine one and wishes to avoid injuries ordeaths. If told that the building is occupied or cannot be evacuated in time,the caller may be willing to give more specific information on the bomb'slocation, components, or method of detonation.

The bomb threat caller is the best source of information aboutthe bomb.
