Before the mods lock this thread for derailing let me make my last post.
People with spare time like to create fantasies. The mountaneous terrain of the area does not allow airforce to come in. Only ground army invading through a narrow strip stands no chance against Indian army units from both sides. At best, they can attempt this as a tactic to divert Indian forces to this area and then launch a real attack on Tawang.
Agree, and that too will happen if India is engaged in operations in the north trying to recapture Azad Kashmir and Aksai Chin...
( Far fetched but Indian retired generals have far more time on their hands and make claims of recovering these territories on TV channels.)
Not aware of any such agreement that will ensure Indian military logistics in BD. Can you please give me links.
Check these out. These are "civil" logistics agreements but can and will be used for military logistics also.
The India-Bangladesh transit deal has challenges as well as scope of huge benefits to both stakeholders but which of the two is reaping more rewards?

Pakistan has seen many more coups and assassination attempts (on Musharraf, Zia). I am not sure if this is a parameter of how strong the army is. In any case, even a limited strength is good enough for defending marshy lands.
Pakistan's coups have not been via mutinies and no blood has been shed. Since 1971 the only mutiny Pakistan's armed forces have faced have been during the Civil War when the EBR and EPR mutineed.
Bangladesh has faced a string of bloody mutinies assassinating two heads of states, and a couple of generals.
In 1984 India faced multiple mutinies from its Sikh regiments in its Army with a senior rebellious general being killed in Operation Bluestar. 1979 there were mutinies in the CISF, BSF and CRPF the largest paramilitary outfits in India. There was also a mutiny in the PAC , the largest state paramilitary outfit from India's largest state of Uttar Pradesh.
Marshy land is no obstacle to amphibious tanks, and hovercraft and India has invested in these capabilities with a view to operations in Bangladesh-
Hindus are less than 10% of BD population. Also, are you saying BD Hindus are not BD patriots?
Similarly, do you think Indian muslims will support Pak army in case of an Indo-Pak conflict?
Hindus in Bangladesh are far more marginalized than Indian Muslims. They have little reason to be patriotic. There is no influx of Indian Muslims fleeing India into Pakistan...as yet.
We are discussing India and Bangladesh not India and Pakistan. Whether Indian Muslims are patriotic or not, is not for us Pakistanis to answer. Your politicians have the answer.
