Rajnath singh and us defense secretary call: On the afternoon of July 1, when the country was celebrating the anniversary of GST, there was a calm but stormy movement in India’s defense corridors. The conversation between Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was not just a diplomatic call, but a possible earthquake! This discussion on Indo-US-US secret defense strategies is now pointing to a new front-decisive American support against Pakistan’s terror! The official information of this conversation may have been wrapped in “diplomatic humility” on social media, but the message behind it is clear – India is now moving ahead with the US step by step on the decisive front against terrorism.
Alliance against terrorism or last warning for Pakistan?
Posting on X, Rajnath Singh wrote-“There was a great discussion to further strengthen the Indo-US defense partnership and to review the new initiatives to strengthen the cooperation in strengthening and capacity building. I appreciate the American support given to India in the fight against terrorism. I am expected to meet soon.” The straight this tweet looks, the more shocking signs inside it are. Actually, this is the time when there is a lot of resentment in India over the attacks from Pakistan across the border. Military action like Operation Sindoor in Pahalgam terror attack and response is an example that India no longer wait – now replies.
Defense deal or intelligence mesh?
The special thing about this call was that it was not just formal. For the last 10 years, a comprehensive defense cooperation framework was discussed between Indo-US, which opens the following possibilities:
Joint intelligence shared system
Defense Innovation and Technology Exchange, so that India can mix its indigenous technology with the power of American weapons
Logistics support that can provide immediate help from the US on any time limits
It is believed that in this conversation, issues like American Predator drone, long range missile system and cyber warfare cooperation have also been discussed. It simply means – India will not just answer now, will be prepared before!
Pahalgam attack was a turning point!
The terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on 22 April, forced India to a cross-border mission again. In Operation Sindoor, the Indian Air Force bombed Pakistan’s terrorist launch pads. In such a situation, America’s public support to India not only gives diplomatic but also strategic strength. The conversation between Hegseth and Rajnath earlier in February was considered the foundation of a major strategic plan. But now that the terrorist attacks have become fast again, America has also made it clear – India is not alone!
Will America take the field for India?
There is a new dimension in the defense relations between India and the US. Now it is not just about purchase of defense, but strategic solidarity. America now considers India as ‘strategic partners’ to fight enemies like China and Pakistan. Both China and Pakistan have lost sleep due to this change of America.
Is there going to be even bigger further?
If sources are to be believed, the next meeting of Rajnath Singh and Hegseth may probably be in America or India next month. This meeting will not only meet two leaders, but the joint strategic plan of India and the United States can be announced. There are discussions that it may also approve arms manufacturing, tech transfer and joint military operations.
Danger bell for Pakistan?
Pakistan and its terrorist organizations are seen the most nervousness from this growing military alliance between India and America. Pakistan may pretend to be the ‘messenger of peace’ in front of the world, but now its fresh wolves are on the radar of India and America. This quiet conversation of Rajnath Singh has made one thing clear – now if not just diplomacy, if needed, you will get an answer by entering the enemy’s house! If you want, you can also be given 1000 words expansion of this report, which includes the stories inside the operation vermilion, Pahalgam attack and the Indo-US military deals.
