So Doctor to put it bluntly with the SAGE you guy's are "jumping from the frying pan into the fire" and given this just join in with the IPI. You can't get around Pakistan that easy.
Choice is yours !!!
IPI has to go through Baluchistan which has witnessed attacks on pipelines in recent years, we also have to pay you transit fee's and what happens when God forbid we have another 26/11 or Kargil episode? will it be business as usual?
yes in a ideal world of course land is better but this a long term strategic pipeline, if you were in our shoe's what would you do?
I can't see another option, India has a weakness in that we are land locked from Central Asia and yes Pakistan is our only option but... it comes at a heavy price! we might be held to ransom. If Russia and China get India and Pakistan to sign a security agreement with concrete binding conditions via the Shanghai corporation it might reassure some but I have my doubts.
