No matter how much India disgusts me, they always do maintain an upper hand in international relations compared to Pakistan. Indians jeopardized the RD-93, U214, French Avionics deal for JF-17, F-16 etc. They might not always be successful, but by doing so they are gradually building up their lobbying capacity and learning how to lobby effectively in due process. On the other hand, we have literally no lobbying power which results in us being on the receiving end usually.
Although not in favor of aggressive lobbying which may be detrimental to our own long- term relations, we must however, let our reservations be known strongly. We let Indians build over 30 cultural centers along the Pak-Afghan border and did nothing to stop it. Look where that has gotten us. Every single time, India purchases a weopon its meant for peace but when Pakistan does it, indians make it look like pakistan is going to use it against it. We must therefore, have a very balanced and well calculated approach, cant touch the two extremes.
