However , over the years , the army has also taken up the responsibility of providing internal security , especially against insurgencies in Kashmir and the Northeast . The current combat doctrine of the Indian Army is based on effectively utilising holding formations and strike formation . In the case of an attack, the holding formations would contain the enemy and strike formations would counter-attack to neutralise enemy forces . In the case of an Indian attack , the holding formations would pin enemy forces down, whilst the strike formations attack at a point of Indian choosing . The Indian Army is large enough to devote several corps to the strike role. Currently , the army is also looking at enhancing its special forces capabilities. With the role of India increasing , and the requirement for protection of India's interests in far-off countries become important, the Indian Army and Indian Navy are jointly planning to set up a marine brigade . <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1579177079504","data":"5e2055c8082b5"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1579177079505","data":"<p> They die for the country , there is no relation between the soldiers and the people living in the country .
