Some of you have asked me many times to suggest books to read. I never recommended any seriously. But given the "war" India is going to face for the next few years, I would recommend reading at least one of the following: (1) War Without Rules (Robert Spalding, 2022) - Easiest and Shortest. (2) Unrestricted Warfare (The Original, 1999) - Good overview by China's own defense guys. (3) The Long Game (Rush Doshi, 2021) - Technical and for those really interested in Geopolitics. All three books detail China's unrestricted warfare methods. They all explain it by illustrating China's war on America mostly. But you can always imagine America as India and read the books. The methods are the same. And they are being actively applied now. If you are interested, here's an overview of some methods: Political warfare - Influence and infiltrate politics of democracies like India to weaken the country from inside. Psychological warfare: Spreading rumors, disinformation, and amplifying issues to erode the will, cohesion, and morale of the Indian government, military, and importantly general public. Drug warfare: Facilitating or profiting from the spread of illicit drugs into India to destabilize society, strain security resources, and weaken the social fabric. Cultural warfare: Promoting or amplifying cultural trends and narratives aimed at influencing Indian viewpoints in alignment with the adversary's interests. Appropriating culture while eroding the nation of its own heritage. Media warfare, Law warfare, Network warfare, Technological warfare, Fabrication warfare, Resources warfare... there are many more methods. Buy and read at least one of these books, you will know. Book (2) is legally available free on the internet to download.

In Jan 2025, I talk about how "a whole ecosystem will suddenly rise up to oppose the dam India will build" (this was before any work started). - A dam to safeguard Indian plains from a mega dam China is constructing upstream. In Oct 2026, we see the ecosystem activated.
