Necessary command, control, communications and intelligence set-up has to be in place to prevent accidental activation. Call it by any other name, if you so wish, but the arms race is a natural consequence of having gone nuclear. India has to go on developing and expanding its nuclear assets till it attains a second strike capability against China. All this needs money. India has to have a fresh look at its macro-economic policies.
Money is there.
India has to prioritise in such a manner as to ensure adequate funds are available for national security without impinging on development. National Security Council has to be in place. MOD needs to be reorganised and manned by the military. Fresh look at India's strategic environs will lead to an appropriate security policy, foreign policy and defence strategy. Statesmanship of very high calibre is demanded of the political authority combined with highly articulated diplomacy to bring China and Pakistan across the table to resolve all contentious issues.
