Indian Intelligence

[davidbfpo]

There is a thread on Pakistan's ISI elsewhere, missing is a thread on the main regional power, India. The ISI thread:http://council.smallwarsjournal.com/...ad.php?t=14914

This week the Lowy Institute, an Australian think tank's had a short review article on its blogsite, by the RUSI (UK) based analyst Shashank Joshi; I thought it was interesting:http://www.lowyinterpreter.org/post/...-scrutiny.aspx

An Indian "lurker" responded that the article was:

..a very amateurish attempt...(partly as he relied on)..Srinath Raghavan who knew only in 2013 that Indian intelligence have no legal backing . Raghavan is not a historian but only a young journalist...

They located an Indian article that described the wide context first and then several pages (pgs. 6-9) on the current picture; see attachment.

On two recent threads we have touched upon the apparent byzantine bureaucracy that India has today, sometimes blamed on the British - even if independence was in 1947 and India has had plenty of time to change.
