China-Pakistan trade nexus irks India

[humanfirst]

Excellent article --

Yeah glowing with excellence!!Especially the first para
"There is nothing new in the Pakistani-Chinese relationship. This relationship is not and has never been hyphenated with Delhi. Pakistan and China have been trading partners for at least 7000 years–when much of Asia, and all of Bharat (aka India) were jungle populated by hunter gatherer types chasing rabbits all day. Pakistanis of the Mehergarh Civilization were at the time building sophisticated towns and trading in goods and services with China."

However, to be fair, the Indian analysis piece the article refers to, particularly in the kind of effort a section of Indian intelligence and policy making sector have made to exploit the mistrust between Pakistan and US, has been less effective than they could have been --

I think it is the other way round.Pakistan is a major ally of USA since decades while india was not.Yet India managed to develop extremely good relation with USA perhaps even better than that of pakistan.Remember the reply pakistan got from US when asked for a nuclear deal similar to INDO US deal.I think it is the failure of Pakistan that even after being essential for wot,it couldnt do anything to stop growing civilian and military relationship of india with USA,growing indian influence in NATO controlled afghanistan(which was pak backyard earlier) etc.Especially when considering the fact that Pakistan got screwed up big time internally,due to its support to usa in wot.

and yet this has not given that segment cause to reconsider, a curiosity in itself - heaped much of the same contempt on the relationship Pakistan have developed with China, even as it has engaged the US to position Pakistani interests in a post NATO Afghanistan.

Haven't china and USA been ally of Pakistan for 4 decades?Is there anything new in it for Indians to get irked suddenly?

Pakistan have been a pawn and proxy for big powers and seeing what have Pakistan become due to it-a nation which tops in failed state rankings,there is not much for India to get worried.

however everybody would be irked when some so called expert writes about the intention of a country just because he hates it and has a pre conceived strong opinion on the country he writes.

READ and Comprehend the quote below from my first post:

the article's tone certainly heaps contempt on the quality of analysis the author of the article thinks informs Indian readers.

What's in here to be "Irked" about? the article's author pays Kapila back in the same coin, so what's there to say that the author hates India and the author Kapila does not hate Pakistan or China - the two authors hold the policies the other exposes and/or advocates in contempt -- Should readers seek to make up theor own minds or should they be "informed" by the Times of India piece? or the Patriot Piece?

We could have had fun offering critiques instead we have personal comments from Indians -- Why? Have you run out of the ability to think or craft arguments?? But please no crocodile tears.

Never cried much even when i was a child.

Am not a reader of TOI for your info, i read The Hindu.

I am talking about the hyperventilation of this author, to whomever he wants to pay back in whatever coin.

Also to your remark that Indians are all irked easily, just so that u know even when we have 99% corrupt people wherever we go here in official positions and have been listening India developing from childhood and day in day out seeing every tom dick and harry in governments making crores of money while common people starve we move on. What does that say, we are actually very very thick skinned sir.
