Indian defense forces could join fight against ISIS soon

[COLDHEARTED AVIATOR]

I will....
India should support this war against terrorism and should make sure that the so called super powers support India on Kashmir issue. It should be tit for tat.

Kashmir is a lost cause for Pakistan now.They don't have the political,economical and military might to snatch Kashmir from us.Why would we wanna get into deep $hit when we will get nothing out of it.

"Interesting" is not the right word bro, the blow back would be potentially deadly, nothing interesting about that.

Interesting as in the political climate in the country . And the blow back will come one way or another. Best to rat them out ASAP.

It would be a display of power yes but save it for more noble causes, there is little tangible military benefit for sending the CBG to that part of the world and you can expect blowback from such a move.

As i said earlier, the blow back will come regardless from anti national elements with or without ISIS. There is no way to avoid that.Besides, bombing the shit out of ISIS seems like a Noble cause to me.

If the US hasn't send ground troops why would India?

 

[Lord ZeN]

If the US hasn't send ground troops why would India?

India won't.
This is just a B.S news.

 

[Star Wars]

If the US hasn't send ground troops why would India?

There most likely wont be ground troops. Maybe training,equipping supplying and other support roles...

 

[Abingdonboy]

ISIS still have a lot of Indian hostages, India starts action against them and all of them are dead guaranteed.

Well Afghanistan is more closer than ME. It will be good for India to send Indian forces to Afghanistan

 

[ranjeet]

Out of all the people in India, Tehlka should have known better when not to use a finger.

Well Afghanistan is more closer than ME. It will be good for India to send Indian forces to Afghanistan

when we can get the foot soldiers at throw away price why send your own?

 

[CONNAN]

Well Afghanistan is more closer than ME. It will be good for India to send Indian forces to Afghanistan

the afgan govt made it clear they dont want indian army but they only want weapons by the way this new is BS none of the major medias sources or any official acknowledged this report it is another product of IDRW.ORG Aka the source thelka

 

[SrNair]

I dont believe this .The source is absolutely wrong and unreliable.If we did that we will get unnecessary attention.
and wastage of resources.If it is correct then it would be a give an take policy where US would support us in other way.
But it would be a wrong .
Let them clear their mess.We can confirm whether it is a right or wrong in Jan 26 .

Ah yes. I do believe that India will not get involved in the BS and invite wrath of terrorists within its cities. But........how I would love to see India actually do it and get engaged in return, get a taste of its own medicine.

Unmarked graves says otherwise

We're doing good.
ISIS has very few Indian members and some how Areeb Majeed's statement that "ISIS considers Indian men weak" has dissuaded many from joining it.
China has more to worry as about 300 of their men have joined ISIS already.

And it would be good if Indian Army stay away from it.ISIS would suffer great casuality if they engage with Indian forces.And it will cause recruitment in here .We cant allow that.
We shouldnt involve in this mess.

You mean, like what happened with Pakistan after the Soviet-Afghan war, Kashmir insurgency etc? Well, not every country is foolish enough to rush in where it has no business and reap the results.

Precisely the opposite, actually.

During the Soviet-Afghanistan war, a massive majority was against the occupation and willing to fight it, with weapons, encouragement, logistical support or just plain verbal support. Kashmir insurgency is a different matter, it was never carried to the point of resolution, not that I support it.

Also, Afghanistan is a country with which we share a massive border area. And the general consensus amongst the men in power, at that time, was that the Soviets were looking for warm waters and the way was through Pakistan. We really had no choice. On the contrary, India does not share any border with Iraq or Syria and has no direct threat from ISIS, so her involvement in the matter would be like inviting the madmen's attention.

Please read my post above.

It's a global initiative. Many leaders from around the world have said that Islamic terrorism is the biggest threat to the world at the moment and needs a global unity to fight it. Modi too reiterated the same.

Such a threat isn't some thing that can be wished away and will never remain localised, for eg. It's spread to Africa, Asia and Europe.

International community should come together to fight terrorism because it affects all. Mr. Modi said that in an inevitably interdependent world, India would come together with other countries regardless of political differences to fight terrorism.

We are not that dumb to involve in others if we dont get some huge advantage.If West put up a proposal that is infinitely good for us .We will surely engage.

 

[vsdave2302]

If it happens, ISIS's bad time will start. They will face the fierce force on ground. It will certainly be very difficult for them to counter Indian forces.

I am not sure what to make of this news

Hi, didn't got any notification that you tagged me. On topic, when Modi was in the US, he rejected support in the fight against the IS, to change that now, Obama must give us something in return, otherwise I don't see what should have changed the PM's mind in the last few months. Ground troops however are not realistic, since not even the US want to commit themselfs to that level, so it's more about air power or financial support I guess.
Personally I think we must support the fight with air power, defence export or logistical support to Iraqi forces, because we already were effected by the IS terror in Iraq and the more it spreads in the region, the bigger the threat for India and Indian economy. So it is in our interest to gain stability in Iraq and if that is possible by supporting the Iraqi forces, we should take responsibility. Important however would be, that we don't do it because of the US, but after talking to the Gulf countries, to make sure that our support is mainly on behalf of them and our partners in the region and to deepen ties with them.
