a .22LR rifle and a 12 bore is perfect for todays scenario in India I guess.

7 mm Rem. Mag., but I live several thousand km away from the Indian border.
If you don't hunt the cartridge performances are useless. Moreover, it needs a long barrel, unsuitable for home defence.

Best all round for what?
Have a read of this posted by Timmy a few days ago.

Especially the part about US soldiers who were shot with .223 and were relatively unscathed!

I possess a .30-06, a CZ with full stock "Mannlicher" style as they say in the US or "Stutzen" as the German speakers say.
Besides that I have a triad of 7 mm:
-a 7 mm Rem. Mag., my "mountain gun" used mainly for chamois and roe deer, but in Namibia to plains game as well
-a 7x64 mm,idling in the cabinet
-a 7x72R combined with a 16 gauge barrel, with hammers; the combination is fitted with a vintage Kahles 4 x 24 scope. Weapon and scope date back to the '30s. This nice piece of ordnance lays in a vitrine in my sitting room. Obviously, it is locked to the wall!
