India's increasing troop may go nowhere

[golmaal]

1.The last Indo-BD confrontation was at the Battle of Padua. Indian SSB, dressed as BSF launched a night attack on Padua village with a battalion. SSB lost about a company strength to two BDR sheeeds. The most remarkable aspect was the role of our villagers. They were able to cause most of the casualty on attacking Indians using bamboo sticks, local spears and household machetes. In fact the infuriated villagers had caught a large number of these drunk soldiers and gave them a well deserved lynching. BDR personnel were able to rescue some of these guys - but not before they were beaten up well and proper.

2. If India has not invaded us so far, it is because of our inner strength. Being Muslims we know it is our bounden duty to defend our country - irrespective of station in life. India also must realize that she is friendless. In fact she is hated by all her neighbors. But BD enjoys good rapport with all neighbors beside her cultural depth in the world of Islam.

Man don't take it seriously.. we don't much care BD on security perspective excluding NE terrorists safe heavens in your country.

India plans to recruit 100,000 soldiers over the next five years and send them to the China-India border areas to cement its military strength there, according to a report by the Times of India on Nov. 2. India's defense ministry has already approved a 13 billion-U.S. dollar military modernization plan.

The average growth rate of India's military spending has stood at 7 percent to 8 percent for more than a decade, and its military spending ranks ninth in the world. India is also the world's largest arms imports country. The spread of the "China threat" theory, the increase of troops to the disputed areas near the China-India border, and the display of a tough attitude toward China all aim to make a breakthrough in further increasing military spending.

Despite India’s huge military spending, its economic growth has recently been slow, with last year’s economic growth rate hitting a six-year low. It is very difficult to considerably increase military spending for military buildup amid the economic downturn, so India needs to first create a tense atmosphere and transfer domestic problems in hopes of securing more military spending.

India has continued to hold joint military drills with China's neighboring countries over a recent period, showing it evidently intends to contain China. Furthermore, India's move to send an additional 100,000 soldiers to the China-India border areas is consistent with its earlier actions aimed at containing China.

In addition, the United States needs to rely on India to restrict China. India needs to show its value to the United States by flexing its muscle toward China so that it could gain U.S. military support and help raise its international status. India's troop increase on the border between China and India is aimed at meeting the requirements of the United States and then getting support from the United States. However, will India realize its goal?

First, the action will tense the situation of the region and harm India's own interests. Increasing troops on the border area is always a sensitive move and it is especially sensitive to increase troops on a disputed border area.

Second, the action is completely not worthwhile. Currently, India has 40,000 troops in the disputed area, and if the further 100,000 is deployed, the total number of the troops will reach 140,000. In an era when precision-guided weapons are developing rapidly, everyone with common sense knows that concentrated troops could be eliminated easily. Meanwhile, 13 billion U.S. dollars is really a lot of money for India, and it is still unpredictable whether the future cost of maintenance will be guaranteed.

It seems like a pretty clear threat to me.

They are bangladeshes , not Pakistanis we have different ways to deal with you fellows, accept it... These bangladeshis are giving tough time to you...
Indians fellows needs to change there fan minded nature ... we all know similar sorts of articles are also written in indian newspaper...

Therefore, the potential target for India's growing military has to be BD. The two Strike Corps she is raising ostensibly targeting Tibet, could well be turned round to invade BD during a winter when the Himalayas will be blocked.

Do you my dear friend even know what a Mountain Strike Corps is? It's meant for deep thrusts in mountainous terrain. BD is Riverine terrain for which a Strike Corps would need totally different equipment and tactics. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Go get some education before commenting on such subjects.

Desist from spewing out nonsense and wasting everyone's time. Thanks!

We already took Arunachal Pradesh in 1962, and then we gave it back to you.

We also fought the superpower America + 16 of her allies in the 1950 Korean war, and ended up pushing them completely out of North Korea. That was 1950's China.

While we were fighting superpowers, India was losing her land to third-world countries like China (Aksai chin) and Pakistan (half of Kashmir).

Anyway, let's see the brave Indians fulfilling their promise to "respond to the Mumbai attacks", before anyone else will take their threats seriously.

STOP BOASTING URSELF U DUMBHEADED . FOR U DUMBS THSI CONFIDENCE WILL SURELY BRING DOOMS DAY BY THE GRACE OF GOD . WE CURSE U .

Oy take a chill pill!!! And yeah don't use personal attacks!! we shouldn't stoop to such a low level!!I suggest you edit your post...
And for all those trolls who think they can push India over like in 1962... they are mistaken.... like someone else on this forum said it is good if your rival underestimates you!!!
World peace!<<<<< hopefully

But they do. The PLA is the military arm of the CPC.

And the Indian Armed forces, have already said that they are no match for China.

India can't match China's military force: Indian Naval Chief - IBNLive News

Well that would solve the age old conundrum as why chinese, at least those on this forum are so stupid.

 

[Fireurimagination]

If you truly believe you can match China's military, then why don't you try another Forward Policy?

India is scared to even face off against Pakistan, despite boasting about "surgical strikes" in response to further Mumbai attacks (which happened several times after the threat was made). If you can't even work up the stomach to respond to Pakistan, how can you face China?

LOL if India is such a push over then I wonder why don't you people come and take Arunachal Pradesh (South Tibet) and Sikkim, which you people claim that India has annexed from China, too scared???

 

[SinoChallenger]

Before we didn't have high speed rail link to Tibet

Now our logistics train allows us to hold Southern Tibet after we've captured it all weather / year round.

 

[OrionHunter]

We already took Arunachal Pradesh in 1962, and then we gave it back to you.

Bu!!sh!t !!! Your ignorance is legendary! You gave us back Arunachal? NO! Chinese Forces had to withdraw due to acute logistics problems that became a nightmare. Your troops were down to eating 'grass and weeds' and drinking water from muddy streams which resulted in many getting sick with no medical aid resulting in much of your troop strength getting emaciated and unable to hold on to captured areas.

That's the reason Chinese Forces were forced to withdraw and not that you gave AP back to us on a platter. In future, do ensure adequate and timely logistics support if you want to screw around in other people's countries.

Now go do some reading and get some education on the 1962 war instead of shooting nonsense from the hip.

Well then wouldnt the same mean that the chinese lack cajones?

If China is truly as powerful as you claim, what exactly is stopping you from taking Arunachal Pradesh? It seems the Chinese dont even lack the courage to wage war against an enemy that they believe is already in awe of their might...

Besides...lets make one thing clear...War is waged with an intention to achieve goals...
What exactly would India's intention be to wage war with China when Arunachal Pradesh is already a part of India and has been since the birth of our nation...There is nothing for India to go to war with China over (or at least aggress)

However the intent for aggression does lie with China and the current developments only serve as a defence against the growing military might of China...
Precaution is justified...

India definitely does not want to repeat a 1962 where it was caught with its pants down...that is if we ever go to war...
But as mentioned...there is no reason for India to go to war with China as long as China keeps its presence to its side of the boundary...

Here is my one cent for clash of civilizations, well, clash of thoughts at least. People are different, and elites in any ethnic group knows the flash and bones of that culture, otherwise, they wouldn't popular at least.
Chinese don't use their army to achieve goals, my understanding is, the Chinese would only use their army to leave a path of destruction that no living thing that is allowed to exist along that path they crossed. See, their army is not for achieving goals, it's always for total annihalation/destruction. So the Chinese don't use force generally.
There still is no occation where the Chinese army can actually knock themself out and set themselves free.
You know what I am saying?

Precision guided weapons ?? Ok China has the largest army in this part of the world, does that mean they all are sitting ducks for some guided weapons shooting practice ???? lol

China manufactures its own PGMs and integrated air defenses. India has to import bullets.

PLAAF is ready to deliver the knock-out blow! It's not 1962, baby. This time, we're going straight to New Delhi!

India is already a mess in peacetime. After PLAAF bombs New Delhi, it would be no different from a huge refugee camp. Armed rebellions against GOI rule will break out everywhere.
