Islamabad: India’s former Chief of Army Staff General Manoj Naravane’s recent article has publicly unmasked the reality behind Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s chest-thumping rhetoric, revealing how the BJP left the Indian Army isolated during critical standoffs such as Doklam and Galwan.

According to Global Mirror, analysts say the piece serves as a long-overdue acknowledgment of uncomfortable truths about India’s political-military disconnect.

Naravane’s commentary highlights that while Modi’s speeches celebrated strength and readiness, soldiers on the ground faced logistical gaps, unmet requirements, and were often left to manage critical border clashes alone.
