Why is India still dependent on foreign defence systems after decades of independence?

In this episode of The Syllabus of Life, Bharat Karnad joins Ravi Kapoor for a hard-hitting conversation on India’s defence reality, strategic failures, and the road ahead.

From the missed opportunity of the HF-24 Marut to the ongoing Tejas vs imports debate, this episode breaks down why India continues to struggle with self-reliance in defence. It also explores the deeper issues—lack of long-term vision, procurement challenges, and leadership gaps—that have shaped India’s military trajectory.

The discussion goes beyond headlines to decode India-Pakistan wars as limited conflicts, why China remains the only serious adversary, and how global powers continue to influence India’s defence decisions.

A sharp, no-nonsense analysis of what India must do differently to build true strategic strength.
