Abstract
Is India doing enough to balance China since the deadly border clash in the Galwan Valley in 2020? This article reviews (1) the adequacy of Indian resources devoted to national defense, (2) the allocation of those resources to confront the multitude of threats that India faces, (3) the efficiency that India turns resource expenditure into military capability, and (4) the willingness and success of India in seeking international partnerships to assist in its national defense. It shows that India was underbalancing China prior to 2020 and likely continues to underbalance post-Galwan.
