Beijing: In view of the increasing threat of the army of China and Pakistan, India has increased the total defense budget for the year 2022 to 5.25 lakh crores. It was 4.78 lakh crore in the year 2021-22. In this time’s defense budget, more budget has been kept for the Indian Navy than the Indian Army. While 32,015 crores have been given for the Army, 47,590 crores have been allocated for the Indian Navy. India has made this increase in the defense budget of the Navy at a time when the navies of China and Pakistan are making nefarious plans for the Indian Ocean. In fact, the Chinese Dragon, which has built the world’s largest navy, is constantly staring at the Indian Ocean. Chinese naval ships are continuously patrolling from the South China Sea to Djibouti in Africa. It is believed that after the ‘occupation’ of the South China Sea, China will be eyeing the Indian Ocean, which has been considered a sea area with Indian influence. China has also given clear indications of this. Dragon is building a naval base in Gwadar, Pakistan. At the same time, its naval base is already present in Djibouti. Indian naval ships also want to increase their naval activity in the future in China, Sri Lanka and Maldives, which are already patrolling. Not only this, China has also recently given its submarine to Myanmar. Merchant ships of China are now carrying goods from Singapore to Myanmar in the Bay of Bengal. This has given China an opportunity to conduct its activities under the nose of India. Realizing this danger, India has started sending its warships on more patrol than before. According to the report of The Print, for the first time since the Second World War, so many warships are patrolling the seas around India. China and Western countries like America, Britain, Australia are now increasing their patrol in the Indian Ocean. According to a senior officer of the Indian Navy, 125 foreign warships are now present in the Indian Ocean at all times. This is 3 times more than the warships deployed after the terrorist attack in America on September 11. India has only a third of its warships compared to China. Indian Navy officials say they are currently confident of dealing with the threat, but lack of funding threatens its ability to compete with China and other countries. It is done. The Indian submarine, which is very important to control the sea, is now two decades old. India wants to increase the number of its warships to 200. The Indian Navy wants a third aircraft carrier but is yet to get approval. The Indian Navy currently has 130 warships, which is only a third of China’s naval strength. China’s navy has 350 warships and submarines, which is the largest in the world. Even after this threat, the Navy had to operate with less money. Along with China, Pakistan is also continuously increasing its war power. The Pakistan Navy has ordered China to make many state-of-the-art warships and submarines, which are now gradually getting to it. In such a situation, a double threat has arisen for the Indian Navy.
