Chabahar Port: India Losing Against China – OpEd

[Kiss_of_the_Dragon]

Sir, I agree with most of what you are saying but I disagree with including Pakistan in this. I understand that you have a close relationship with them however there HDI and GDP per capita are very low and this would bring down the status if the partnership. I think that India and China need to build upon their BRICS partnership and eventually include Iran into the group.

Pakistan is key actor in the region and we're talking about the regional cooperation such as sea/land transit nothing to do with HDI or GDP.

sorry didnt notice the last part, under 20, you have plenty of time to witness the earth evolution and revolution

Every year we deny India over 100-120 Billion dollar trade by simply refusing the trade transit. That means India is losing out on gigantic amounts of cash every year. We will continue to deny, till Kashmiris are denied their right to self determinantion, We will also seek to replace India with China through our own influance, including in Afghanistan and Iran.

You have a number for that figure or are you just making it up

sorry didnt notice the last part, under 20, you have plenty of time to witness the earth evolution and revolution

boy i thought iwa druk& thatb eing said how old are you

 

[Kiss_of_the_Dragon]

Okay but that's my point, apart from Gwadar port what else can they offer?

They can offer you a direct transit to afghanistan which India need but again...seems that there is too much difference between you guys, I dont want to meddle into Indo-Pakistan relation.

boy i thought iwa druk& thatb eing said how old are you

I'm still a...

afghanistan under your influence had become a lawless state, i am sure the world wouldn't want another pakistan controlled afghanistan

As far as 100 billion trade blockage, those are exaggerated figures, it would be 10-15 billion tops
doesn't matter, you can block all you want, we have found an alternative route,
infact India is in talks with China to to grant access to central asia and also expand russia-chinese gas pipeline to India

Our leaders lacked the will and sight, India needs a strong leadership and this time we might just have it

 

[American Pakistani]

In any business if you said to otherside that they can not be trusted or they dont have nothing to offer...than the business is over...I dont think that is a right approach regardless if Indians are ultra hyper nationalistic people. you have to work on the impossible to find the solution.

Thanks for the offer but I will rather choose independent Pakistan than a Pakistan dependent on a country like India. Bangladesh example is enough for Pakistanis to learn...where India dominates everywhere.

As I said India has nothing to offer to Pakistan.

India has loads to offer, do you have the will to take it further ? Like you say India dominates bangladesh, similarly what dominates pakistan ? imports and chinese products

Again your country your rules and your wishes
India has alot to offer and receive from pakistan too

 

[Jaanbaz]

Likewise Jungadh joined Pakistan but India invaded it anyway and Hyderabad wanted to remain independent but India invaded that as well or did you forget those two instances? Likewise we do not give a **** about what the Maharaja signed its value is equivalent to toilet paper as the majority of the people of the state wanted to join Pakistan and any vote on the matter would end in Pakistan's favor.

British colonialists and the Indians were happy with this arrangement of leaving Muslim majority state in a limbo.. The ruler of Kashmir was a piece of turd who persecuted Kashmiri Muslims.

 

[Sam.]

China still have some residual territorical dispute with India that doesn't prevent us from have an economy relation with them, same for China-Japan over the Island, we hate each other to core but we're still the great economy partner, I think Pakistan can learn from China's experience.


Every nation have ultra nationalist, some Indian brothers labeled me as one of ..., but here we're talking the regional cooperation in which every ultra nationalist will find the gain and zero lost : Paksitan will gain the transit fee, China and India get what we want, Iran can deliver oils and gaz to much distance customer...all are winner on this cooperation.

I am not arguing with you mate and i agree with your thoughts. If collaboration bring prosperity to CHINA ,INDIA and PAkistan then i am up for it but Pakistan never want India to prosper and that's the difference so i hope you understand my point.

I dont know what you're refering to about to be independant of India, but for gwadar,Chabahar and regional link I dont see Pakistan has anything to lose, earn a transit fee from India doesn't mean to be dependent on them.

neither do they want Indian good to be transported nor they want any transit fee, hence india had opted for Chabarah

& now you know why we cant do business with each other,both have a lot of unresolved issues to deal with it

Maybe it's little bit premature to discuss the regional cooperation until Indan and Pakistan calculate and realize that the benefit of cooperation outweight their differences.
