The movement behind the establishment of Space Command is speculated to be the cause of Rawat's death

New Delhi: The death of India's first CDS General Bipin Rawat has sparked speculation. India's defense expert Brahma Chelani has also expressed doubts about it. The speculation in this regard also suggests that the movement initiated by India under the auspices of Rawat may be one of the reasons behind the establishment of Space Command.

One wonders what the space command is all about. In fact, Air Command, Navy Command and Army Command are now three commands and the first CDS General Bipin Rawat was its joint commander. Now, like any military chief, he is said to be ready to go one step further and set up a space command for India's security. This space command was also to be prepared in a way that could be brought into the future under the aegis of CDS.

Someone may have recently read the news that China has launched a satellite in space. So now any future war will not only be limited to the sky, sea and land, but also the role of space will be the most important. Bipin Rawat was well aware of this and is believed to have started preparations in this direction under the leadership of DRDA and ISRO.

One might be surprised that when it comes to space technology, India is on par with global superpowers like the US and Russia. Yes, China is lagging behind in India's space and remote sensing technology, even though it has made tremendous progress today. Rawat wanted to take advantage of this technology to protect India from space as well. He is also believed to have prepared the government for this. The biggest example of this is that at one time ISRO's budget of barely a thousand crores has surpassed even ten thousand crores since the advent of the present government.

Now looking at the deaths of ISRO scientists and matters related to space command, it can be said that only Rawat's death is the latest. As many as 200 ISRO scientists have been killed in suspicious deaths in India since 1990, when India first began flying into space.

Surprisingly, no political party calling for patriotism has spoken of this, but the court has had to take note of the plight of one ISRO scientist after another. He has had to tell the central government how much of a stir it would be if one scientist died, whereas here even if about 200 scientists died in a suspicious manner, no one's stomach was watering. Is Rawat's death the next in a series?
