Is India a budding hegemony or a regional leader?

[SrNair]

india is nothing.

india can only pressure countries like Nepal, Bhutan etc...


The day india is able to get its way with Pakistan, then it can be called as the regional hegemon of South Asia. Until then, india is nothing but a useless elephant sitting in the middle of nowhere with no strategic relevance (other than 1 billion population lol)

Actually we already finished the importance of Pakistan in 1971 .And now Pakistan is not even a rival for us.

Read the article that pointed out the territory India stole from your neighbors, you don't need me to point out the obvious do you?

Let's see, For Kashmir India has the papers to prove that the King of Kashmir signed of his land to India out of threat from Pakistani backed intruders. For Goa, it was a colony we gave them time, and asked them peacefully through UN and they refused. For Sikkim, again a peaceful integration where a referendum was held for the people. For Hyderabad, we again gave the king time to give up the power since his land was surrounded by Indian land, and no nation likes to have another power or law within its land.

Same excuse China used to holdon to their territory, I don't see China and India behavior different from one and another but from a hypocritical point of view, India as a thief no worse than China in stealing territory.

yeah,one of the world's largest economies,a major military power,a trillion dollar economy,several MNCs,lifting hundreds of thousands out of poverty and iliteracy,a major player in space research and development is nothing to you?

China is claiming the entire SCC, which is stupid in logic on its own since it goes against international conventions. India gives two $hit about the land China claims, but when you start to claim an entire sea, it goes without logic that any neighboring nation will be against it. And secondly Chinese claims are based on age old records that those lands were once part of some Chinese empire. By the same logic India can lay claim to the entirety of South Asia, since there have been empire who ruled majority of South Asia like the Mauryan empire.

No such thing as stupid logic, no such thing as international conventions which all nations on this planet abide by the treaties. The letters on the treaty sign during international conventions can be manipulated then misinterpretation of the treaty to justify one nations action to further their own self interest. There no binding within the international conventions, treaty were signed and broken when the interest of any 2 nations collided.

By that same logic, then Neither India nor China are stealing any land since they just have different interpretation.

Now you come around, what might is right that the power to dictate in the international order.

What ever floats your boat mate, but things still stand that all the land that India is accused of stealing came under India when India was at its weakest. Be it Kashmir or Goa, for Goa India had to go to the UN to mediate between India and Portugal which was at a much stronger position than India. So no, power is not the only mean.

India used military force to captured those land and used military force to occupied Kasmir. Without the military India wouldn't be able to holdon to those territores.

Occupy Kashmir, India has the paper that were mediated by the British. India was not even involved in Kashmir till Pakistan out of fear invaded Kashmir, which resulted in India having to mobilize its forces out of request of the King of Kashmir and the British. For Sikkim there was a referendum which made people chose if they wanted to become part of India or stay as an independent monarchy under the king. For Goa, we simply took back a colony with the least amount of bloodshed, compared to other part of the world. For Hyderabad, it was in the center of Indian controlled land, no nation would allow a foreign power to govern within its boundaries. And again go read back ground on all these lands, every single time India had peacefully asked for resolution and has taken the issue to the UN for clearing of any problems.
