At a time when India is striving to dominate South Asia and is torn between the United States and Russia, Modi has bad news. At the same time that the Indian army was forced to leave the Maldives, a fire broke out in the Indian backyard.
At least 12 people were killed in India's military operation on May 10, according to Agence France-Presse. It should be noted that this time, the Indian army did not fire in Kashmir, and the place of engagement was not on the Indian-Pakistani border, but in India itself.
Here's how it happened: After learning where the militants were hiding, the Indian army chose to go there in order to eliminate the militants. The militants hid in the forest and relied on the terrain to fight the Indian army.
When the clash broke out, two Indian soldiers were injured by bombs, but this does not change the fact that "the Indian army has the advantage". During the search for the militants, the Indian army found the bodies of at least 12 militants.
This means that the Indian army killed at least 12 people.
This can't help but bring to mind another thing. Last year, at least five Indian soldiers, including two Indian officers, were killed in two days of fighting with militants in the forest.
Although the Indian army has a strength advantage, the opponent is very smart. Militants who are well aware that "there is a gap between their strength and the Indian army" will often break them into pieces and then rely on the terrain to kill and injure the Indian army. In many cases, when the main forces of the Indian army try to eliminate their opponents, these militants will choose to disappear rather than go toe-to-toe with the Indian army.
However, once the main forces of the Indian army are withdrawn, these militants will provoke trouble, such as attacking the Indian army and creating chaos in India itself.
New Delhi has a headache for these militants who run away after fighting, but it can't find a good way to eliminate them in one fell swoop.
What do you think?
First, Modi should have a headache. India confirmed that all Indian troops deployed in the Maldives have been withdrawn at the request of the Maldives. Although India has said that it will adhere to "India first", anyone with a discerning eye knows that India has kicked the iron plate this time.
For India, the forced withdrawal of Indian troops from the Maldives is, of course, a blow. But at this very moment, the restless militants began to stir up trouble again, and also caused 2 Indian soldiers to be injured, which did not embarrass New Delhi?
So far, Modi has not spoken out on the issue of "Indian army and militants" fighting, and Modi has chosen to lose his voice.
Second, the militants entrenched in various parts of India are indeed India's henchmen. In India and Kashmir, there are many militants who hate New Delhi, and these "underground" factions are complex, including pro-Pakistani forces.
According to past examples, whenever India launched a military operation against Pakistan, these militants would stir up trouble as if they had been negotiated. In New Delhi's view, these militants entrenched in the hinterland, forests and mountains are time bombs.
Fortunately, as of now, the "Nassar" and other anti-New Delhi forces have received little external support.
One of India's biggest fears is that its adversaries provide weapons, intelligence and logistical support to these militants.
It is not difficult to imagine that these militants can still kill and injure the Indian army when the Indian army has an advantage in numbers and weapons. Once the militants get their hands on weapons and ammunition, the result can be imagined, and what awaits the Indian army is likely to be dealt a heavy blow.
Third, although India's economic, scientific, technological, and military strength has been greatly enhanced, the United States, Russia, Britain, and France are also vying to win over India. But for India, the most important thing at the moment is not to focus on external expansion, but to solve the Indian crisis in a down-to-earth and step-by-step manner.
Otherwise, India is likely to regret it. Modi has been trying to reshape India and has achieved a lot, but the-for-tat between Indian states and the challenge of militants to the Indian army have not been completely resolved.
Of course, India's neighbors, such as Pakistan and Nepal, should not be taken lightly. If large-scale chaos erupts in India's backyard and Modi is helpless, India may be able to deflect the crisis in the same way as it has done with Pakistan.
Fortresses are often breached from within, and instead of constantly bullying their neighbors, it is better to solve their own problems. Snack more, India.
