Whats on Modi`s mind?

Could India`s increasing defense investments and the present government`s 'aggressive'  image be pointing towards a possible war??

A good section of people before the Lok Sabha elections 2014 were sceptical about Modi, given his aggressive image and wondered whether the nation would witness a war under his rule, for not many could deny that behind the ‘ development issues’ and  ‘acche din’ stood a man who had in some way or the other been responsible for Godhra. While some rejoiced at the prospect of an aggressive authoritarian PM others feared the same, and it seems that the worst fears of the later are turning into reality.

India recently finished a helicopter deal with US, approved the commission of INS Kolkata war ship to be followed by INS Kochi and INS Chennai, successfully tested the surface missile Akash and approved the production of 40,000 ton aircraft carrier, Vikrant, all of which could possibly point towards a potential war preparation.

The recent comments of the PM in Leh about the ‘Proxy war’ being waged by Pakistan could also have a hidden meaning and maybe a warning.

Although its true that the first step of Modi as a PM was to extend a hand of friendship to all of India`s neighbors, including the troublesome Pakistan, the others constant violation of ceasefire and infiltration cannot be ruled out as a possible starting point of a full fledged conventional war.

Though the stance taken by Modi`s predecessors in this respect has not been very different and included angry warnings and threat to the neighbor but what might be different this time is an actual action.

Undoubtedly  its too early to come to a solid conclusion about a potential war being planned but speculating from the way things are going it is  quite likely that some war preparations are underway in the present cabinet.
