National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval on Friday stressed the critical role of the nation's will in securing lasting peace post-conflict and questioned the core objectives of warfare.
He said that the way to achieve military objectives is by breaking the will of the nation and defeating their Army breaks the nation's will.
«Why do we fight the wars? Is it for some vicarious pleasure in killing the adversary's human resources? What are our military objectives and how do we achieve them? We achieve it by breaking the will of the nation and defeating their army breaks the nation's will. When you defeat them on the battleground, the nation is prepared to have peace with you on your terms,» Doval said at the launch of Indian Strategic Culture by Maj Gen (Retired) Dr GD Bakshi.
He suggested that nations often overlook this vital aspect of strategy, instead focusing on military manoeuvres and armament rather than the collective resolve of their citizens.
Drawing parallels to ongoing conflicts, the NSA said, «Whether it is Ukraine, Russia, or any war, one of the major tasks that was neglected was creating and strengthening the national will.»
