The
deadly attacks on strategic military establishments by Pakistan army in
Pathankot, Uri and the series of border violations, shelling of civilian
targets, cover firing for sneaking terrorists are indications of not just
hostile acts but a serious breach of our national security mechanism. While
India has successfully retaliated and inflicted heavy cost on Islamabad, that
alone is no reason for New Delhi to let the guard down. Border security and all other
aspects of external security are a significant yet a fraction of the larger
national security and strategy planning. National security is a
multi-dimensional concept primarily concerned with ensuring comprehensive
national strength and, in the process, gaining toe-hold in the strategic
sphere, hitherto lost or not obtained in the first place.
