In ancient Indian history, the Brahmastra is a supernatural weapon used in the war of Mahabharata. When discharged, it creates a fierce fireball, which destroys all trees, oceans and animals. The sky surrounds with flame. glaciers melt and mountains shatter. Not a single blade of grass ever grows in that area, no rainfall for 12 divine years (4,320 years) and climate conditions worsen. The strike of the Brahmastra destroys everything.
CHINA'S MISPLACED IDEOLOGICAL STRATEGY
Mao Zedong, the first Chairman of the People's Republic of China took great pride in guerilla tactics. He wrote, "The guerilla must move among people as a fish swims in the sea. When a nation is inferior in arms and military equipment, then it may employ guerilla tactics against a more powerful transgressor".
Mao was not a great tactician but he had good generals under him. Those generals drew heavily from their one time masters, Mongols. Mongol armies were the dominant force in Eurasia in the 13th century. Their strategy was described by absolute discipline, a well-defined chain of command, superior communications strategy, exceptional mobility and a tactical doctrine unifying all the components.
If we read Mao's statement carefully, it states, 'when a nation is inferior it should apply guerilla tactics'. So either it is an incomplete strategy or misplaced thinking. Keeping Mao's strategy in mind, modern China has devised a faulty war doctrine, based on Sun Tzu's ideology. Sun Tzu's teachings work in the domestic environment but produce hardly any international results.
ADVENT OF INDIAN CHAOS DOCTRINE
As per the Cambridge Dictionary, 'Chaos is a state of complete disorder and confusion'. I propose a 'Chaos Doctrine' to be used against China. Why disorder and confusion? How does that benefit India? Let us analyse.
This is an outline to help the military planner of India to draw their own conclusions. A doctrine is a very vast topic and many volumes may not suffice to give the full picture.
As it is very much evident from the introduction that modern China shifted from the original strategy to the present 'President-for-life', 'Xi Jinping's Thoughts'. China even ditched Deng Xiaoping's 'tao guang yang hui' approach, meaning "keep a low profile and bide your time", to an overtly aggressive approach. Petulant China abhors uncertainty and unpredictability and that's what the 'Chaos Doctrine' is all about.
The Chaos Doctrine would be haphazard in nature for any outsider but will have a pattern known only to the executioner. The main components of the 'Chaos Doctrine would be :-
* Discredited Leadership *Inward Looking Society * Questionable Military * Collapsed Education System * Uncertainty in Commerce and Finance * Recruitment overdrive * Propaganda Blitzkreig
'Chaos Doctrine' should propagate and blur the difference between a soldier and a civilian. Either an individual would be a soldier or would be working towards the common goal in his/her capacity.
CONCLUSION
The best tool in India's hand is not fighting a conventional war, but famine, disease and the bankruptcy of China and the breakdown of the whole social organisation in that country. The Indian Republic and Indian citizens, despite capability, are not in favour of Chemical and Biological warfare, else that would have been a great tool while dealing with China, a country that has no qualms about using these elements against its opponents.
If this menace is not stopped now the world is heading for World War III. There is no 'modus vivendi' possible with this nation. India not only has to take action against this evil force but make all other like-minded nations aware of the evil designs of this Minotaur and the menagerie of nations it is gathering, to create an incongruous world of its own.
Big bang of Chinese economic and military might is over, the Big Crunch has just been initiated. Distrust and disinformation would be the hallmark of the new China. The Chaos Doctrine has just been unleashed.
