US India - Defense and Strategic Affairs

THere are tons of interesting indian blogs out there - here is one focused on Strategic Defense affairs concerning India and the US - US India - Defense and Strategic Affairs. The authors are certainly an interesting bunch: Lt. Col Anil Bhat is a former spokesperson for the Defense Ministry and the Indian Army and then a defense analyst as well as an expert on India's NE security; Lt. Col. Sahukar is a former Indian ARmy paratrooper and a veteran of anti-terrorism operations in J&K; Jehangir Unwalla and Nikhil Khanna are affiliated with USINPAC, the US India Political Action Committee - which essentially seems like a lobby group for New Delhi on Capitol Hill - although their mission statement says that they want to ensure that we impact policy on issues of concern to the Indian American community.

Nevertheless its quite interesting and refreshing to note that those with exposure and experience to the goings-on in the world of India's defense are actually making a proactive effort to disseminate more information to the public and increase the awareness of the population at large regarding defense policy issues.
