Dont know if this is a shocker but 90% of indeginous population of Lakshadeep islands is now Muslim. Conversions are to blame. Also there is a high risk of ISI getting involved. Prior to Kargil there was a leak in Pakistan High Command where Pakistan was actually planning to annex these Islands. [Source: Read it some where on hard copy]
Hello Doctor,
The threat is not just from Islamic Terrorism, but also from Islamic nations in Indian Ocean. I will not name any nations, though their past record is evident of such analysis.
India requires to uprade its naval commitments by year 2006. Reason for such is a new shift in supply routes of energy to South East Asia. Indian Ocean will see an increase in martime traffic in coming years.
Air to air refueling, martime rec planes, a task force, nuclear powered subs, and possible off India naval base in region is a must. If these parameters are overlooked by policy makers, Indian Ocean will become a rowdy backyard for India.
