And don't tell me about drawing maps and gathering data which was already there.... you too had a clear intention to have a control over siachen and that's why you started such expeditions in no man's land without taking India into confidence... I mean why do you have to collect data in no man's land.... your intention was to initially start trecking expeditions in siachen then slowly start deploying army under the pretext of the treckers safety in the region so you don't look like an aggressor and then what??? Treckers from all over the world would have sought Pakistan Visa to participate in such expeditions and over the years with this practice eventually siachen would have automatically become the part of Pakistan.... clever move but not enough to fool your clever eastern friend
What a retarded explanation that u have pulled out of thin air.
Exploring is somehow the same as occupation? If Pak wanted to occupy it...why didn't Pak do it? Surely it had the capability...bcuz after India decided to launch its attempt to occupy Siachen...Pak responded...and occupied 6 peaks(if I recall correctly)...and has been manning those ever since. Clearly the capability was there...but they never did occupy.
Humans have explored areas like Antarctica, Marianna's trench, charted oceans the world over, all without occupation. There is a clear difference between the two things. If Pak wanted to occupy it, Pak could have...and so could China...but neither of them attempted any such action...only India did.
U have NO CONCRETE PROOF...and all u have are flimsy opinions that are laughable to say the least.
Sour grapes.... when you didn't get siachen now it's hostile to human body and waste of money and resources?
Classic "heads I win, tails u lose" mentality.
So if Pakistan pre-emptively takes action like Kargil...
--> Indians respond with "Pakistan is the aggressor", "India is a peaceful nation that has never attacked anyone", "Pakistan doesn't want peace", etc.
In case India takes pre-emptive action like in Siachen...
--> Indians respond with "sour grapes", "if we hadn't taken it, Pak would've occupied it", "strategic reasons", etc.
I'm amazed at the kind of mental gymnastics Indian members do here to try and hide the hypocrisy.
Do you know that once even USA was eyeing siachen to have her base on it? Okay India is always dumb on PDF but what about USA??? Believe me my friend if given a chance even China today would love to have a base on siachen
It's not my concern nor am I debating if US was eyeing Siachen. As for u saying China would've taken it or Pak would have...that is ur opinion that has no basis. The reality is that NO NATION HAD OCCUPIED IT UNTIL INDIA OCCUPIED IT.
These kinds of justifications(that other nations WOULD HAVE captured it) may provide u comfort to hide Indian hypocrisy but that's about the only use of such fiction.
