There are shortages of men and junior officers. Morale is low as the number of suicides suggest. Are there underground shelters for headquarters, fuel, and ammunition? Budgetary support is half of China. We talk about the vulnerability of the Siliguri Corridor. Do we have any plan to defend it? We live in uncertain times. Our closeness to the US and being a part of the US led QUAD could hardly be warming the hearts of China. Our relations with Pakistan and Bangladesh are at its worse.
