Why Nations Fight Wars: Ajit Doval Breaks Down Power Game, Morale, Western Fear And India’s Rise

NSA Ajit Doval has laid bare the harsh truth behind global conflicts. Addressing young leaders in New Delhi, Doval said wars are not fought for pleasure or destruction, but to break a nation’s will and force submission. He warned that moral arguments collapse when power is challenged. Doval called out Western hypocrisy, saying rising nations are never welcomed by established powers, citing historical fear triggered by Japan’s rise and today’s anxiety over India’s growth. Stressing that nationhood is not permanent, he urged Indians to protect sovereignty through unity, morale, and strong leadership. He cited India’s ancient civilizational strength and contrasted it with historical strategic weakness. Doval also highlighted how shared national sentiment allowed Jewish identity to survive centuries of persecution. His roadmap for India is direct: build willpower into national power, make hard decisions, and prepare for resistance as India reclaims its global standing.
