Stage I: P.M.S Blackett's Scientific Strategy, India's Dangerous Geopolitical Game of Chicken Against the PRC (1947-1962)
Part A: Post Independence Scenario (1947-1961)
The original Indian military-strategic theory of tactical and strategic restraint and Pakistani-focused defense strategy can be credited to Nobel Prize-Winning British scientist PMS Blackett- a pivotal member of the British wartime community in World War 2 who was pivotal in developing the ULTRA signals intel network and organizing a coherent bombing strategy of going against maritime targets in the Atlantic - was hired by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru in 1946 to present a scientific strategy for the defense of the newly formed Republic of India. The Armed Forces had retained Field Marshall Sir Claude Auchinleck's, Armed Force Organisation Plan calling for 200,000 Active Duty Ground troops, a 20 squadron Air Force and a Navy centered around 2 Aircraft Carriers with a primary threat coming from the Great Indian Desert Region (i.e. the post-independence state of Pakistan). P.M.S Blackett had submitted the following recommendations to the Indian Government,:-
- Maintain a small territorial defense force focusing exclusively on a Defensive Minded Strategy
- Maintaining a Non Aligned posture against the Soviet Union and the United States
- Military Expenditure MUST NOT exceed 2% of India's GDP
- No need to pursue any Weapons of Mass Destruction Programme (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Weapons)
- Focus Extensively on Generating economic growth by modernizing core industries, infrastructure, and poverty alleviation.
- To ensure the Indian Armed Force do not get entangled in a war against a major power, extensive civilian control of the Armed Forces must be maintained in all affairs related to defense.
This extremely pacifist recommendation was taken to an extreme level that pushed India's Defense Budget below the recommended 2% target- the Army went through a massive demobilization period in which 7 World War II era Divisions were disbanded while the Frontier Guards were divided between India and Pakistan- with Pakistan gaining 7 of the 11 Frontier Divisions, [with defense becoming an afterthought.](https://eparlib.nic.in/bit

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Theyβre on standbi
BamBOO!
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
