“We have war-gamed this’, a recently retired high-level Pakistani military strategist explained in a late-2013 interview. ‘Air strikes are an option India has in response to something like Mumbai.

“Since 1990, at least four high-level commissions have been tasked to assess the state’s national security apparatus and recommend reforms. Arun Singh, the state minister for defence in Rajiv Gandhi’s government, led a Committee on Defence Expenditure in 1990. K. Subrahmanyam chaired the Kargil Review Committee in 2000. This was followed by a Group of Ministers Task Force on Defence Management in 2001, also led by Arun Singh, who was then an advisor to the Vajpayee government. In 2011, the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government created a commission to review national security, chaired by Naresh Chandra, a former cabinet secretary.”
