World moving toward multipolarity, India emerging as a major power: Army Chief

New Delhi, Nov 12 (UNI) Army Chief General Upender Dwivedi observed that the world is undergoing a major geopolitical shift from a unipolar to a multipolar order, asserting that India is poised to emerge as one of its key power centres.
Speaking on the concluding day of the Delhi Defence Dialogue here today, the Army chief said, "We are also in an era where several disruptive technologies have emerged which are having a disproportionate effect on military capabilities. We are also in an era where technological changes are so rapid that if you do not keep pace you are going to be outdated by the time you decide and develop. So, if we have to meet these emerging challenges, we have to look at different models or a model which is different than what we were employing,” he said.
The COAS further highlighted the three “Ds” transforming warfare- democratisation, diffusion, and demography. "I'll give out three Ds, which are changing the war scenario today. Democratisation, that is the newest technology, and it has already been shown that the platform alone is not relevant. It has to have a number of layers supported by this democratised phenomenon that is AI, quantum, robotics, auto system. DW that is energy weapons, cyber tools, especially in the grey zone. Diffuse geographic independence, but dependent. And Demography, you have Citizen soldiers, guardian forces, and even merchants now play roles in conflicts, sometimes selling equipment to both sides," he said.
