Is India making the same mistake Pakistan made by allying with the US?

[GURU DUTT]

USA needs India and not the other way around. If India is doing a mistake, it is by ignoring its previous allies.

But here I see India doing another mistake. India is picking its ally which is at a distance while it is making enemy that lives next door.

well we aint ignoring any ally i mean russia here and we are in deals with them which in ammount are more than combined current and potential deals with USA France and Israel

secondly niether pakistan nor china has left any change go in vain to harm india and its interests so why bother to have good relations with those who dont value it

We can handle Both enemies China and Pakistan
TOGETHER for SEVEN DAYS -- ALONE -- on our own till USA comes to our help

US navy is Just 12 Hours away from Karachi Harbour

And US planes from Diego Garcia base in Indian Ocean
can land in India in Just two hours

Biggest difference between india's and pakistan's foreign policy has been that under decades of army rule the pakistans foreign policy though been run by diplomats but mainly on lines given by army. hence short comings in it, when army dictates it looks for gains for itself making weapon sustem as priority thus naturally neglecting strategic angle related to long term foreign policy n gain. All this do not happen in India its totally different. despite being getting closer to US since 2008 onwards our next decades 55% defense items buy will be from Russia

No one receives a bullet instead of his ally when it comes to death and when it comes to Americans... its "no no" twice. In the even of a war between Pakistan-India or China-India, both countries at war will lose some and that is best USA could expect from India at best.

But we are very happy finding what Indians think. Please keep working this line and we will reach home.

You should ask your self

Can Pakistan handle India alone without China's help

India is too big and too large for US to do things in India as they do with Pakistan. India needs US for technology, capital and influence, while US wants India to be a counterweight to China, which perfectly fits India's strategic objectives.

Yes Pakistan can handle India alone and India knows it equally well. If India could neutralise Pakistan and survive afterwords, it must had done so in year long stand-off on its borders.

China and India are bound to become rivals given their sizes and ambitions. There may be a possibility of India and Pakistan becomes friends some time in future, but not between India and China. If there is a number 1, there will always be a challenger to that position. Competition is human nature.

I doubt that. Take the nukes out of the equation, and I don't think Pakistan stands a chance against India. The long stand-off is not because India thinks Pakistan can handle India, but because you have nukes.

THey can handle everyone...u forgot the nuke angle.. pakistan is coming out with pocket nukes after tactical. Every individual will carry it n nuke indians in every city street and house.

OK think how would you take nukes out of equation when it comes to war. Its like wishing that your enemy didn't had gun while you had it in your hand.

 

[Qazi yahya]

I'd say the same to them to. It's obvious incompetence at Pakistan's end to not do so.

I know, that is why India could not go for a war with Pakistan during 2001 stand off in spite of having tempers running very high. The same is case after Mumbai.

There is a almost no possibility of war between India and Pakistan because of nukes.

India hasn't “chosen" her enemies. They were thrust upon us by geopolitical realities. Both of India's enemies have territorial ambitions. One wants Arunachal Pradesh and the other wants Kashmir.

So, dear Sir, what more should India do, according to your wisdom, to convert these enemies into friends without geopardising her own sovereignty and territorial integrity? Please enlighten us. Might be you've found some extremely clever solution that Indian diplomats missed for decades..

 

[kaykay]

Our foreign policy is not messed up like them....We are not crazy to join someone else's war ignoring our own interests. Every step we'll take will be influenced by our and only our interests.

India knows that and it is very reason it is backing terrorists in Afghanistan and Karchi to harm Pakistan politically and economically. Ecnomic Hit-Man pattern was what India was adopting but it has lost that war already. Pretty much every terrorist factor which it was backing is now either nullified or weakened to safe limits.

But I don not negate a possibility of a war with India. CPEC is going to prove lethal for India. Imagine a Chinese naval base and air-base in Gawadar encircling India from the eastern edge to western edge. This is what haunts India and itches it to do something to avoid this neck-stap.

You can choose your friends, but you cannot choose your neighbours. India has no option but to deal with its two neighbours – China and Pakistan. Why should New Delhi buy into the western notion that China’s rise is a threat to India? China is in a different league and India is nowhere close to the communist regime. Although ideally, establishing peace and stability in the larger picture would require New Delhi and Beijing to engage with each other more. However, at the moment, India’s alliance with the US creates tension in the region – with both the big neighbours looking at each other with greater distrust than ever before.

This writer wants India to become a vassal state of China, we shouldn't follow our interests because China may not like it, what nonsense. Maybe we should also accept that Hafiz Sayed and Masood Azhar are social workers to please China.
