Military Affairs :
Foreign Dependence Imperils Countrys Defence
Four decades back, after
explaining the dependence of defece
production in India on foreign
monopoly houses, Comrade
Tarimela Nagi Reddy observed:
Thus the vital aspects of
production for our defence is left
entirely in the hands of international
monopoly houses and yet to
deceive the people, the government
has began to talk in terms of self
sufficiency in defence production
and self reliance of our defence
industries. When I see, hear and
experience such slavish betrayal of
the nations interest by so-called
patriots, think lightly of what is
called treason against the
government. (India Mortgaged,
p.355)
Today all the three wings of
India defence force are at the mercy
of imperialist countries for all most
all of its defence needs. The recent
mishaps in the Navy leading to the
resignation of Chief of Naval Staff on
moral ground highlighted the
dangers involved in our dependence
on foreign monopolies.
Growing Military Expenditure
According to the budget 201314, the allocation for defence is
Rs.2,53,345.91 crore which is one
sixth of the total expenditure of Union
of India. If the allocation to other
armed wings under the home
ministry and 50 per cent of
expenditure of atomic energy and
space are added, the total rises to
Rs.3,13,921.91 crore or more than
one fifth of the total expenditure.
This expenditure on military has
two components; one, the wage bill
and two, the capital outlay. In the
year 2012-14, the estimated outgo
on pay and allowances of army,
navy and air force personnel stands
at Rs. 63,037 crore, in addition to
the pensions payable to retired
May 2014
Gordians knot
The largest construction
company in India, Larson and
Toubro is a MNC based in Sweeden.
It signed a contract with Mazagon
docks (a DPSU) to form a joint
venture to manufacture submarines.
Mazagon dock also signed another
agreement to form a joint venture
with Pipalov Defence to manufacture
frigates, destroyers and aircraft
carriers. As other companies like
ABG and Bharti complained on the
selection process, the MoD put the
JVs on hold in July 2012. The
government cleared these JVs in
February 2013 after taking a policy
decision that DPSUs can go for JVs
or form consortia with private sector
companies which includes foreign
companies. Immediately after the
decision came in the newspapers,
Mitsubishi (of Japan) expressed its
readiness to acquire a stake in L&T,
while French defence major DCNS
is planning to buy about 10 per cent
in Pipalov for more than Rs.800
crore. (Business Standard, 23-72012)
India, which is currently imports
75 per cent of its naval defence
requirements, has claimed that the
present policy would synergise and
enhance competence in producing
the state-of-the-art defence products
in a globally competitive market. But
under the din of these high sounding
phrases, the Indian DPSUs are
being tied to the MNCs as captive
providers of cheap labour and inputs.
Specious Argument
The supporters of FDI in defence
production argue that profit
motivation stimulates technology
innovation. Yes, you are correct;
profit making is all the more powerful
desire that drives FDI into Third world
countries. They are making super
profits by draining the financial
resources of recipient country
through bribing the political elite
leading to disintegration of their
political and economic systems.
Every player in the arms business
is making profits at the expense of
