Modi is right about indigenous defence doctrine. Army staff colleges canât keep studying US
The PMO can hardly blame the armed forces for soldiering on however they could. After all, theyâve been working without any political guidance for years.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is known to be not just an orator, but also someone who often throws in a few surprises in his speeches, or even shocks, depending on where you stand. His recent speech at the Combined Commandersâ Conference, the most vital annual meeting in terms of Indiaâs defence, could come into either category. Many were outraged at the breaking with convention in inviting personnel below officer rank, while most others found aspects of his directives puzzling, to say the least. But in the general discontent, there is one aspect that deserves attention and critical analyses â Modiâs reference to an indigenous military doctrine.
