Why don't you temper your words better, than usage of 'fake' to describe an Indian institution which delivers. Come with me to LoC. You won't find fakes there but focused professionals fighting with what the nation can afford to provide. Its the spirit & passion which make armies.
@atahasnain53 : Military power comes from economic power. Until India becomes highly industrialised Indian military will remain fake military, which can only fight another fake military like of Pak. It cant fight real one like of USA or China. No reforms will make much difference.
