On the occasion of the 78th Army Day celebration on Thursday, General Dwivedi said that keeping pace with the changing world, our army has also been changing its approach and formation and emerging in a modern ‘take power’ format.

“Wars are no longer restricted merely to battlefields. Today, they are fought at multiple levels and on many fronts, including mobile screens and other means of information dissemination. In the domain of information warfare, India has been decisively outperforming its adversaries,” said Dwivedi.

“The wars are no longer restricted merely to the battle grounds. Those nowadays have to be fought at different levels and on many fronts, including the mobile screen and other means of information dissemination. So, in the Information Warfare, India has been beating its enemies,” he added.

Referring to Pakistan’s attempts to spread (false) propaganda, the Army Chief asserted that the neighbour’s bid won’t succeed due to the strong reliability and credibility of India’s words (truth).

“Our truthfulness, trustworthiness spreads 100-fold faster than false propaganda of Pakistan”, the army chief quipped.

In a changing world scenario, the Indian army has also been adapting to the changes, which is why Bhairav, Shakti, and Divyaastra-names of new battalions-are not merely names but symbolise the futuristic form of India’s warfare.

“Therefore, indigenisation is no longer an aspiration, it’s a strategic necessity, and we are doing the needful,” Dwivedi said.
