🇮🇳 SAMARTH: Building a Stronger, Smarter & Self-Reliant Indian Army!

At the NDTV Defence Summit, Army Chief Gen Dhiraj Seth highlighted how modern conflicts are evolving into “wars with pause” and unveiled SAMARTH—a vision centred on sustaining capability, adapting to change, mission-ready modernisation, resilience, technology-led transformation and human-machine teaming.

From Aatmanirbharta to battlefield innovation, the focus is clear: prepare today for the wars of tomorrow. 🇮🇳⚔️

What is the truth?

[Col Ravindra Sanyal @Col_Sanyal]

What this gay said ," Only jackal warnings .....
Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif has issued a stark warning at the UN General Assembly: any attempt to stop, impede or divert Pakistan’s share of Indus waters would be treated as an “act of war.”

India’s water policy and the Indus Waters Treaty remain at the centre of the dispute. The rhetoric underscores how sharply water security has become a strategic issue between the two countries. 🇮🇳

🇮🇳 A Nation That Will Not Forget. A Nation That Will Not Forgive Terror.

The Uri Surgical Strikes demonstrated India’s resolve to respond decisively to terrorism and protect its national security interests.

A defining moment of courage, precision and determination—carrying a clear message that India will stand firm in defence of its people and sovereignty.

Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

@Ahlawat2012 @Col_Jammy The larger point is worth engaging with seriously: victory is a political-strategic construct, not a single battlefield metric. Territorial gains can matter enormously, but they are not the only measure of whether national objectives have been achieved.

[Col RS Jamwal @Col_Jammy]

😌 Why this isn't surprising coming from a IAF Veteran?

👉 Because his argument is still routed in notion of victory and not the actual victory
✅ He should read more, after all he has mentioned 'Strategic Affairs' in his Bio

👉 Because he states 'difficult to call Kargil a victory'
✅ I have got '23 good reasons to give back' but I won't 🤐
Suffice to say that actual Land had to be retaken/ captured, maybe he is relying only on the Safed Sagar Documentary 🤦‍♂️

👉 Because he states 'difficult to call Op Sindoor a victory'
✅ The 155 odd Pak Army casualties (based on Pak’s own award list admission) on the contested land border states different, a True victory marker

👉 Because he states ‘1965 would be a draw’
✅ The ~1920 Sq Km land occupied by Indian Army decided the negotiations and was an actual currency of victory

👉 Because he urges to ‘grow out of land-centricity in our military thinking’
✅ I urge him to study Mackinder and Mearsheimer - maybe it will help

Let's understand one thing very very clearly - till the time we have contested borders, primacy of land operations will remain whatever any paper/ tweet states

[Col Ravindra Sanyal @Col_Sanyal]

Strategic Victory in war cannot be understood through a single-domain lens. Where borders remain contested, territorial control, ground operations and the ability to impose costs remain important elements of military strategy. Air, land, maritime and emerging domains must complement—not negate—each other.

@anishsingh21 A classic case of administrative accountability being put under the scanner. Once the matter attracted public attention, the DM’s letter raises more questions than it answers. If the CM was present at the event, the claim of being unaware calls for a transparent explanation.

GOLD FOR TEAM INDIA!

Congratulations to the Indian Women’s Kabaddi Team on winning the Gold Medal at the #AsianGames2026.

A magnificent achievement for our champions!

🇮🇳 SERVICE BEYOND THE BATTLEFIELD! 🇮🇳

Army Chief Gen Dhiraj Seth visited the LOC in Tangdhar, Kupwara, and interacted with patients at the Mega Eye & Cataract Surgical Camp being conducted under Operation Drishti.

With 100+ free surgeries completed on Day One, the initiative is bringing critical eye care closer to people living in remote and challenging border areas. 👁️❤️

For the residents of Tangdhar, this is more than healthcare—it is a powerful expression of the Indian Army’s commitment to the well-being, dignity and welfare of the communities living along the nation’s frontiers.

The gratitude and warmth of local residents reflect the deep bond between the Army and the people it serves. From protecting the borders to reaching out with compassion, the Indian Army continues to uphold its ethos of “Nation First, Always.” 🇮🇳🫡

Operation Drishti — Bringing clarity, care and hope to the border communities.
