"The last strike or the winning note will be always delivered by us, and not by the Pakistanis."
In a landmark Vimarsh address organised by the Vivekananda International Foundation (VIF), Former CDS General Anil Chauhan shared a masterclass on Operation Sindoor, detailing how India successfully broke the tactical deadlock of fighting cross-border terrorism under a nuclear overhang. By seamlessly integrating multi-domain capabilities, spanning land, air, sea, cyber, space, and the electromagnetic spectrum.
The operation established a "new normal" in India's strategic defence posture.

“As a scholarly endeavour, the distinction between engineering and lawyering signals conceptual originality. It encourages scholars to examine beyond pre-existing metrics, and examine how governing elites think. However, limitations exist. The engineering state and lawyerly society are two ideal types, but in reality, systems are generally more hybrid than the book acknowledges. China contains lawyers and bureaucrats, not just engineers…..” notes Esha Banerji, in her review of Dan Wang’s book, Breakneck: China’s Quest to Engineer the Future —for National Security Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 3 (July-September 2026).

“The Indian diaspora in Australia portrays a paradox as it is often perceived as a ‘model minority,’ yet a lot of migrants... still face challenges and insecurity within the immigration system.”

भारत में भगवान श्रीगणेश जी के चरण स्पर्श से तेल के खोज की शुरुआत तब हुई थी जब स्थानीय लोगों एवं इंजीनियरिंग कार्य में लगे स्टाफ़ ने हाथियों के पैरों पर तेल के धब्बे लगे देखे थे।
An overwhelming walk through the history of India’s energy journey.
Visiting the birthplace of India’s energy exploration and refining preserved at Digboi Centenary Museum at the historic Digboi Refinery in Assam.
This is where India’s first commercial well “Discovery Well No.1” was spudded in October 1889 by Assam Railways and Trading Company Limited, and production started a year later in November 1890 marking India's first commercial oil success with a production of 200 gallons per day.
Often referred to as the ‘Gangotri of the Indian Oil Industry,’ the world’s second oldest refinery at Digboi continues to attract historians, students, and energy professionals from across the country who gain precious insight from the meticulously preserved original equipment, archival records, and historical narratives dating back to the refinery’s establishment in 1901.
Today, as we conquer deep seas, towering mountains and scorching deserts to strengthen India’s energy Exploration and Production efforts and gain momentum as we progress towards energy security, self-sufficiency and green transition under the visionary leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji, these historic artefacts are a reminder of the distance we have now covered.

Visited the Digboi Centenary Museum at the historic Digboi Refinery in Assam, known as the “Gangotri of the Indian Oil Industry.” Established in 1901, the world’s second-oldest operating refinery preserves a rich legacy of India’s energy exploration and refining journey. As India advances towards energy security, self-reliance, and a green energy future under the leadership of PM Sh @narendramodi Ji, these historic artefacts stand as inspiring reminders of our remarkable progress and enduring spirit of innovation.

असम के डिगबोई में स्थित भारत के प्रथम वाणिज्यिक तेल कुएँ और विश्व की सबसे प्राचीन रिफाइनरियों में से एक के इतिहास को जानना अत्यंत प्रेरणादायी अनुभव रहा।
आज जब भारत PM @narendramodi जी के नेतृत्व में ऊर्जा सुरक्षा, आत्मनिर्भरता और हरित ऊर्जा की दिशा में नए कीर्तिमान स्थापित कर रहा है, तब डिगबोई का यह इतिहास हमें याद दिलाता है कि हर महान उपलब्धि की शुरुआत एक छोटे से संकेत, एक बड़े संकल्प और राष्ट्रहित के प्रति अटूट समर्पण से होती है।
डिगबोई की यह विरासत केवल अतीत की कहानी भर नहीं, बल्कि उन सपनों, संघर्षों और सफलताओं की जीवंत गाथा है जिन्होंने भारत की ऊर्जा क्रांति की नींव रखी।

“The future of military UAV systems poses serious challenges and threats to India’s national security. This threat emanates not only from Pakistan-based terrorist outfits, but also from the ability of the Pakistan military to acquire and enhance UCAV capabilities and deploy along borders. The China–Pakistan military nexus has aggravated UAV threats to India’s national security…” analyses Dr. J. Jeganaathan in his article for National Security Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 2 (April-June 2026).

“Despite the structural fault-lines and deep political mistrust between India and China, reimagining economic engagement with China must form the core pillar of India’s broader global economic strategy. Given China’s strategic position in the global economy, it will be extremely challenging for India to pursue sustained growth, industrial upgrading, or deeper integration into global value chains, without a calibrated approach to economic ties with its northern neighbour….” analyses Manoj Kewalramani and Amit Kumar in their article for National Security Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 2 (April-June 2026).

“The announcement by the United States of its withdrawal from 66 international organisations signifies the Trump Administration’s policy to reduce its involvement in these multilateral structures, many of which were created with U.S. leadership after the Second World War. The major impact will be on the sustainable development agenda of multilateralism. This is likely to set back India’s declared objective of using effective international cooperation for becoming a developed economy (Viksit Bharat) by 2047….” analyses Amb. Asoke Mukerji, in his article for National Security Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 2 (April-June 2026).

“A cautious optimism is warranted as India and Europe initiate a major effort to build a comprehensive economic and defence partnership. India is not perceived as a revisionist power, and its economic dynamism has generated elite-level interest in Europe. Even so, at the public policy level, there is a need to evaluate how rapidly the relationship can progress…” analyses Dr. Prem Mahadevan in his article for National Security Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 2 (April-June 2026).

“So where does all this leave India in 2026?...India’s challenge is not just external; it is also structural. It must build economic resilience, technological sovereignty and defence self-reliance faster than its vulnerabilities accumulate. At the same time, it must avoid being pushed into a binary choice — between the East and the West, between democracy and autocracy. India’s foreign policy is not about choosing sides, but about choosing outcomes…” analyses Amb. Anil Wadhwa, in his essay for National Security Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 2 (April-June 2026).
