India First host Gaurav Sawant discusses the newly announced Prahaar counterterrorism strategy with Lieutenant General Dushyant Singh, Director-General of the Centre for Land Warfare Studies, Yashovardhan Azad, former Special Secretary of India’s Intelligence Bureau, and journalist Sandeep Unnithan. The panel examines India’s approach to tackling terrorism following recent successes against left wing extremism and operations in Jammu and Kashmir. Lt Gen Dushyant Singh calls Prahar ‘a very, very welcome step’ but emphasises the need for a comprehensive national security strategy that clearly articulates the armed forces’ role and establishes proper command and control structures. Yashovardhan Azad describes Prahar as ‘high on principles, but a little low on granular implementation frameworks’ and advocates for a public annual statement outlining terror targets and radicalization focus areas. Sandeep Unnithan notes the document is ‘very forward-looking’ in addressing future threats including drones, robots, and global networks, though he agrees it needs to be integrated with a broader national security framework. The discussion covers emerging challenges including dark web operations, cryptocurrency-enabled terror funding, and China-Pakistan collaboration.
