Try to include points like awareness among civilians, rapid deployment of troops, tackling cyber threats etc; elaborate more on proportional response by India. Keep Writing.

KEY POINTS

Need for National Security Doctrine

·        In India, we do not expose our youth to even the rudimentary aspects of national security and its impact on society, due to high level literacy, lack of vision.

·        Proxy war in Jammu & Kashmir and the spread of terror networks in the subcontinent make the management of internal and external security challenges increasingly complex.

·        In addition, the terrorists of today have acquired expertise in cyber space to derail IT-dependent facilities by targeting the economic, transportation, communication, command & control, and educational institutions.

·        Given the complex nature of our country with its vastness, illiteracy, poverty, massive unemployment and demographic divide, the security forces alone are not in a position to prevent attacks by terrorists or control unrests and conflicts.

·        In addition to various measures like improving intelligence, surveillance, security, coordination among security forces, provision of basic facilities and employment of youth, we also need to sensitise society, especially the youth, to such threats and their manifestations.

Propotional response needed

·        Withdrawal of Most favoured Nation status for Pakistan is one of the aspect of Coercive diplomacy.

·        Calling off the Kartarpur Corridor talks, could be another option. 

·        Clearly avoiding the backchannel negotiations at the executive level.

·        Isolation of Pakistan in Organisation like SAARC.

Try elaborate more on need for National Security Doctrine like Cyber attacks, sensitizing youths about National security, getting help of civilians to prevent terror attack etc. Include about non-engagement tactics like isolation, coercive diplomacy like holding back the talks at executive level etc in proportional response. Keep Writing.
