The Indian Army in collaboration with the United Service Institution of India (USI), concluded a hybrid-panel discussion here on Friday under ‘Project Udbhav’ on the topic “Evolution of Indian Military Systems, Warfighting and Strategic Thought- Current Research in the Field and Way Forward”.
Project Udbhav is an initiative set in motion by the Indian Army to rediscover the profound Indic heritage of statecraft and strategic thoughts derived from ancient Indian texts of statecraft, warcraft, diplomacy and grand strategy, army officials said here.
The project endeavours to explore India’s rich historical narratives in the realms of statecraft and strategic thoughts. It focuses on a broad spectrum including Indigenous Military Systems, Historical Texts, Regional Texts and Kingdoms, Thematic Studies, and intricate Kautilya Studies.
This pioneering initiative stands testimony to the Indian Army’ recognition of India’s age-old wisdom in statecraft, strategy, diplomacy, and warfare.
At its core, Project Udbhav seeks to bridge the historical and the contemporary.
The goal is to understand the profound depths of indigenous military systems, their evolution, strategies that have been passed down through the ages, and the strategic thought processes thathave governed the land for millennia, they said.
