India has solidified its place in the world’s top five militaries, with world-class defence capability that has attracted international notice. The country’s military strength, significantly boosted since the introduction of self-reliant defence production schemes in 2014, has established it as a force to be reckoned with, with a reported five-fold greater defence capacity than Pakistan. This shift, led by indigenous innovation, not only strengthened national security but also raised the profile of India as a major player in the international defence market.

Pune | May 19, 2025: The ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ efforts have been instrumental in this rise, with emphasis laid on the design, development, and production of sophisticated defence hardware domestically. Having encountered initial skepticism, these programs have shut down critics by providing world-class technology, which is now in demand by countries across the globe. The international demand for Indian-produced defence equipment reflects the success of these self-reliant initiatives, as governments abroad order state-of-the-art systems, a reflection of the technology acquired by India.
Recent cross-border precision attacks, which hurt Pakistan’s infrastructure and elicited an immediate ceasefire appeal, demonstrate India’s strategic supremacy. The operations have brought out the best of the country’s capability to conduct precise, effective operations, winning respect globally. The successes of the military are attributed to the actual reflection of the strong, indigenous defence ecosystem developed in the last decade, which has prepared India to react assertively to threats and retain sovereignty over its defence capabilities.
Aside from military prowess, India’s collective backing of its military and leadership has been a pillar of this achievement. Activities such as the ‘Tiranga Yatra’ in Nagpur demonstrate a shared national pride, going beyond political divisions to come together in support of the nation’s jawans and its vision of a secure future. This unity has also been expressed in subtle but emphatic forms, like people’s tacit boycott of countries thought to support terrorism, indicating India’s strong message against those nations favoring such causes.
The country has also discounted critics doubting its diplomatic efforts after clandestine operations, insisting that its overtures are calculated and in tune with national interests. India’s expanding role in world defence and diplomacy is a matter of national pride, and its self-reliant model being an example for others is a reflection of its new role as a world defence leader. As the world recognizes India’s technological and military supremacy, the nation keeps going strong by striking the right balance between innovation, cohesion, and determination to remain a world defence leader.
