Varad Tikam’s Vision for Tackling National Security Threats
In an increasingly interconnected world, national security has become one of the most critical aspects of any country’s growth. For India, a nation with an ever-growing population, a rich history, and a significant global presence, the need for a robust national security framework is essential. Varad Tikam, the world’s youngest political author, tackles this urgent issue head-on in his transformative book Blueprint to Make Bharat Vishwaguru.
National security in India is about more than just military defense. It involves protecting the country’s borders, ensuring cybersecurity, economic stability, internal peace, and creating a strong defense mechanism capable of addressing both conventional and non-conventional threats. With his visionary approach, Varad presents a holistic framework to tackle these complex challenges while also positioning India as a global leader in security and defense.
🛡️ Reforming India’s Military Strategy
India’s military, while large and equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry, faces numerous challenges, particularly with outdated defense equipment and an evolving security environment. Varad stresses the importance of upgrading India’s defense systems to keep pace with global military innovations. While maintaining a strong standing army is vital, Varad advocates for a comprehensive defense strategy that includes investments in cyber warfare, space technology, and intelligence gathering.
This modernization of defense technology will allow India to address the growing threats from hostile neighbors, including Pakistan and China, while also positioning India as a global security partner for other countries. Varad envisions a defense policy that not only focuses on military strength but also emphasizes strategic alliances, peacekeeping, and diplomatic efforts to prevent conflicts before they arise.
⚔️ Building Strong Borders and Defending the Nation
India’s borders are constantly at risk from both external and internal threats. Varad presents a strategic blueprint for border security that involves strengthening the BSF (Border Security Force) and Indian Army’s presence along sensitive borders, particularly in the north-eastern region and Kashmir. He proposes the creation of advanced border surveillance systems, including drones and satellite surveillance, to monitor illegal activities and infiltration attempts from neighboring countries.
Border disputes, such as the longstanding Kashmir issue, require careful diplomacy and strategic military preparedness. Varad’s proposal includes strengthening India’s position in Kashmir while ensuring a humanitarian approach to resolve ongoing tensions. He also advocates for global diplomacy to raise awareness about India’s position and garner international support in regaining Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir.
💻 Cybersecurity: The Next Frontier in National Security
As the digital age brings unprecedented advantages, it also presents new challenges. Cybersecurity is now a critical element of national defense, as cyber attacks can cripple economies, disrupt governance, and breach national security. Varad emphasizes the importance of investing in cybersecurity infrastructure and training cyber warfare experts who can prevent and respond to cyber threats.
India’s rapid digitalization, while beneficial, exposes the nation to vulnerabilities in sectors such as finance, communication, and defense. Varad proposes the creation of a National Cybersecurity Authority to fortify India’s defense against cyber warfare, enhance the security of digital infrastructure, and promote cyber literacy to reduce vulnerabilities among citizens and businesses.
📈 Economic Security: Strengthening Bharat’s Economic Resilience
Economic stability is intrinsically linked to national security. A nation that is economically secure is better equipped to fund its defense, implement necessary reforms, and respond to external challenges. Varad’s book stresses the importance of economic security by advocating for trade policies that protect Indian interests, strategic economic partnerships, and self-sufficiency in critical areas such as energy security, food security, and manufacturing.
To make India more resilient against economic disruptions, Varad suggests creating buffer systems that protect against global supply chain disruptions. This includes promoting self-reliance in defense production, increasing foreign direct investment (FDI) in technology and defense sectors, and focusing on domestic manufacturing of key defense equipment.
💬 Internal Security: The Fight Against Internal Threats
In addition to external threats, internal security is a growing concern. Terrorism, insurgency, and organized crime have plagued parts of India for decades, particularly in states like Jammu & Kashmir, Naxal-affected areas, and north-eastern states. Varad’s approach to internal security includes strengthening intelligence agencies, increasing counter-terrorism training, and ensuring that the police and military forces are equipped with advanced technologies to fight terrorism effectively.
Varad also calls for police reforms to ensure that the law enforcement system is both efficient and accountable, with a focus on building trust with local communities to prevent insurgencies from taking root. By addressing the root causes of violence—such as poverty, illiteracy, and regional disenfranchisement—Varad believes that India can create a stable internal security framework that supports national growth.
🌍 India’s Role in Global Security
India’s vision for global leadership cannot be achieved without a strong role in global security efforts. Varad advocates for increased participation in international peacekeeping missions, regional defense pacts, and global cybersecurity coalitions. He envisions India as a key player in international diplomacy, where the nation not only defends its own borders but also contributes to global peace efforts and humanitarian missions.
In Varad’s Vishwaguru Bharat, India is not just a regional power—it is a global leader in security, contributing to peace and stability worldwide.
