India, the big country in South Asia, has been having a bit of a headache lately. Why? Because of the "little trouble" at home - militants, from time to time to add to the Indian government's obstruction.
No, just recently, the Indian army fought another battle with those militants hiding in the forest, and although the Indian army won, the price was not small.
Let's talk about this battle first. According to Agence France-Presse, on May 10, Indian troops exchanged fire with militants in the forest, killing 12 militants but wounding two themselves.
Judging from the numbers, the Indian army has earned this time, but to be honest, this matter is really not a big victory for India.
Why? First of all, the problem of militants in India is not a day or two, it is deeply rooted. Take the "Naxal" armed forces as an example, this group of people is an old adversary of India, they are good at fighting guerrillas, they run away when the Indian army comes, and they come back to make trouble when the Indian army leaves.
Moreover, there are more militants in India than "Nassar". According to incomplete statistics, there are dozens of large and small armed groups in India, and they are distributed in all corners of India, from Kashmir in the north to Assam in the east and Chhattisgarh in the center.
The tactics of these militants are also varied, some like to carry out surprise attacks, some are good at ambushes, and some specialize in picking on the weak underbelly of the Indian army.
Take the April 2019 attack, for example, when Naxal's forces killed 15 Indian soldiers in Chhattisgarh, which caused quite a stir at the time.
So why can't the Indian government solve this problem? There are many reasons for this, but one of the most important reasons is that intelligence work cannot keep up.
You think, these militants are hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, and without accurate information, no matter how powerful the Indian army is, they will not be able to find them.
Moreover, India's intelligence agencies are nothing compared to the CIA in the United States and the Mossad in Israel. Without strong intelligence support, the Indian army is like a headless fly, bumping around, and the effect is naturally not much better.
Besides, a large part of the Indian government's energy is now focused on external expansion, and the border disputes with Pakistan and China have not stopped. In this way, domestic security issues are naturally neglected.
However, if the Indian government continues to do so and does not take domestic security issues seriously, the consequences will be quite serious. Once the Indian army suffers a defeat on the front line, these militants will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble, and then the Indian army will really suffer from the enemy.
Therefore, the most important thing for the Indian government to do now is to reflect on how to improve its intelligence capabilities and how to improve the security environment in the country. Always thinking about bullying the neighbors, it is yourself who suffers in the end.
