DESCRIPTION
Bold and dynamic, Patel’s “The Foundations Pillars for Change” is a proposition all governments should listen to. Building on the principle of Ashoka’s Pillar and stone inscribed edicts found across South Asia, K. V. Patel’s “The Foundations Pillars for Change” (published by Partridge India) aims to engage citizens to the key priorities and importance of the six ‘Foundation Pillars’ that form the basis of national transformational changes that are necessary to ensure sustainable improvements for all individuals. Presenting a rather challenging proposition, Patel divulges what he deems as essential and minimum requirements for all nations, to ensure development and improvements for their citizenry. These are appropriate building blocks, regardless of the type of government, the level of industrialization or the progress of the nation’s economy. This book focuses on India; it provides dimension to the already ignited and meaningful discussion and debate during the 2014 Indian General Elections. It identifies the necessary “Foundations Pillars” a nation must have before building a superstructure ‘house’ above ground; the weaker these “Foundation Pillars”, the greater the chance of unevenness, movement, and consequently crack and damage above ground, eventually requiring rebuilding or redesign of the nation house. Somewhat controversial, this honest view of the current economic and political disposition of India provides clearer points of view for stakeholders in each of the six ‘Foundation Pillars’ for potential areas for change and improvement with clear, ‘next step’ actions. 100% of the net income will go to charitable causes.

Will the 21st century be India’s Century?
• We have the “Foundations and successes to achieve and maintain
India as one of the most progressive industrial and agricultural
economies � with an enlightened social and political system � with
the most content (well-being/happy) citizens’, where peoples from
around the world would want to visit, stay and live”
or
• One where we had the opportunity but something “happened which
was beyond our control”, or we blame the “corrupt politicians and
administrators”, or we take the fatalistic approach of “what will be
will be . . .”, “it was our destiny . . .”, “it was written . . .”, the popular
characteristic of inevitability

Our politicians are losing respect.
There is a trust deficit.
Our democracy is therefore, more impressive in form than substance.

Law & Order – Law Enforcement & Internal Security:Transform to a more respected professional service
• Central & State Law Enforcement: Significant differences:– Capabilities, Competencies & Capacities
• Multiple Agencies provides scope for simplification– 7 Internal Security & 9 Central Agencies
– Some newly established following major incidents e.g. NIA
• ~380,000 unfilled vacancies
• Begin to recruit a higher calibre of individual; a new batch of officers – Consistent approaches that provide our officers with:
• Single central authority for senior staff
• Working hours and schedules
• Safety and defensive equipment

Law & Order – Law Enforcement & Internal Security:Guns, Drugs & Sexual violence must be reduced
• Increased general & commercial crime, violent gun & gang related crimes, crimes against women, student and farmer suicides, domestic violence and dowry deaths, child abuse, communal and sectarian violence– Symptomatic of India’s failure to develop evenly in either social or economic terms.
• Majority of drug addicts are between the ages of 15-35– Many of them unemployed and frustrated by unmet expectations
• Haryana High Court in 2009, suggested that 75% of its youth, 1 in 3 students, and 65% of all families had direct experience of addiction in some form, and 30% of its prison population of 18,000 have a drug related history or crime

– India “is one of the world’s most terrorism-afflicted countries and one of the most persistently targeted countries by transnational terrorist groups”.
– To November 2011, over 1,550 Naxalites/LWE incidents resulted in over 500 deaths as compared to 2010, when 2,006 Naxalites/LWE incidents resulted in over 93 deaths
– ‘Red Belt’, it has spread to 20 of 28 Indian States and roughly 200 of the 626 district• Contain 85% of nation’s coal resources,; constitutes more than 70% of current
needs for electricity generation
– Are rooted in poverty, social inequality and ethnic tensions• ‘a sense of injustice, related particularly to gross inequality, can be a good ground for
rebellion, even bloody rebellion’
• A comprehensive & holistic approach to provide:
– social, economic and infrastructure development
– basic education, healthcare and social services
– More effective democratic representation and improved governance

• 9th highest military spender in the world
– ~US$44.28 billion in 2011 – excluding Nuclear spend
– Expected to be the 4th largest spender by 2020
– ~2% of GDP on the military • Without accounting for expenditure on defence pensions, paramilitary forces and the
defence ministry
– World’s largest arms importer• 10% of all global armament sales

National Security �Change of how conflict created, addressed & resolved
Potential Priorities
• Long range precision guided mobile munitions and weapons systems
• Defensive and offensive asymmetric warfare capabilities
• Secure networks, communications and information management systems for all services and equipment
• Singular command capability through fully integrated combat systems across all services for each theatre of operation
• Stealth, night and all weather condition operability for all services
• Three dimensional deep blue water naval capability
• Increased indigenous development and manufacture of all critical and technological equipment
• Significantly improved military intelligence
3/26/2014 5:48 PM
Move towards a more developed 21st century military doctrine: Seeing growth in asymmetric warfare and the increased need for combined
services single command theatre operations.
© Kiran V. Patel: Laxmibhen Limited: Foundation Pillars for Change - 2014 21
National Security �Rapidly resolve the “Hollowness” of Armed Forces
• By 2011 figures, we are by far the lowest military spender per active armed personnel, amongst the top 10 nations
• Army Chief Vijay Kumar Singh letter to PM in March 2012
– Entire tank fleet did not have sufficient ammunitions
– Air defences are "97 per cent obsolete“
– Elite forces are "woefully short" of "essential weapons
– “The state of the major (fighting) arms i.e. mechanized forces, artillery, air defence, infantry and special forces, as well as the engineers and signals, is indeed alarming“
– Major gaps in the army’s ability to conduct surveillance & Inability to fight at night.
• In January 2010, General Deepak Kapoor, the then army chief had affirmed that 80% of our tanks were night blind, which effectively means unfit for war
3/26/2014 5:48 PM
Is a slow procurement process and lack of urgency among bureaucrats solely to blame?
© Kiran V. Patel: Laxmibhen Limited: Foundation Pillars for Change - 2014 22
National Security � NavyAccelerate to achieve 3D marine warfare capability
• Monitoring the Indian Ocean is a challenge as at least 34 nations border this Ocean
– Predominantly all are developing or less industrialised nations
• Stealth, surprise and firepower are usually the characteristics of successful naval warfare
• ‘Maritime capability perspective plan for 2012-2027’
– 150 major warships
– At least 6 additional submarines
– 7 stealth frigates.
– Number of sailors to increase from 48,000 to over 60,000 by 2015
– Number of officers to increase from 8,200 to over 11,000 by 2015
• Need to develop Nuclear marine capabilities
3/26/2014 5:48 PM
We are one of 6 countries to operate aircraft carriers and submarines; however, we need to be ones who also design and build them.
© Kiran V. Patel: Laxmibhen Limited: Foundation Pillars for Change - 2014 23
National Security � Air ForceReplacing faster than decommissioning
• Operate ~2,500 aircraft and ~850 helicopters
– MIG’s, Sukoi’s & Hawk’s
– Operating with 33 squadrons against a target of 45
– Tejas, Kiran and Marut experiences
• Mirage
• T50 FGFA
– F-35 Lightning II (heavier, cheaper version of the F-22)
• UAVs
• Multi-Role Transports
• High Altitude Rapid Response support craft

National Security � Other ServicesImproved Indigenisation, intelligence & integration
• Mobile multiple nuclear delivery systems
– BrahMos Aerospace Agni-V
– Triad of Air, land and sea (surface & sub-sea)
• Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) & Anti-Satellite Weapons
– Advanced Air Defence (AAD) & Prithvi Air Defence (PAD)
• Military PSUs, R&D & DRDO need to significantly improve the efficiency & effectiveness and OTIF ‘delivery’ performance
• Military intelligence has been weak at best
– 1962, 1999, 2001 & 2008
• Single command overt and covert Human, Communications, Signal, Imagery and Electronic Intelligence
• Defensive & pro-active Cyber warfare capabilities & competencies
