Message for PM of India: Avoid cosying up to Iran

[KS]

Dont knoe what u mean?? U need to explain more.

Bro, sorry. I cant really explain that -- primarily since this happens to be a Pak fora. Dirty linen, public.

That is 1000 yrs agoooo. Many countries destroyed us that time. Lets move forward.

This terrorist attack on Indian soil was this year, actually.

One thing we should be very careful about when dealing with Muslim majority nations (like Arabs/Iran) is that they have a very strong sense of brotherhood for all Muslims (which is a good thing). But the bottom line is, I am not sure if they will support India's stance in the Kashmir issue. You could already see that recently where OIC said that Kashmir is a separate nation. As long as they support our stance on Kashmir, India and Iran or other Arabic countries should be good friends. So yeah, overall it really is up to Iran and Arabs how much friendly relations they want with India (many of these nations have chosen Pakistan over India in past Indo-Pak conflicts). The OIC's recent statements on Kashmir definitely does not help the cause. But Iran overall has been a very good partner in terms of trading and foreign relations recently.

Israel on the other hand, really has been a really good friend. Whether it is technology, economy, people to people contact, or foreign matters, they have always been a good friend to us.

Overall, I think we should try to stay neutral in Middle East affairs. However, Indian PM should have objected to the Iranian leader calling jews "Zionist wolves". Similarly, Indian PM should have objected if Israel called Muslims "Muslim wolves" (which they did not , but just saying). Lets just say, most Indians don't exactly find our Govt stellar either, we are just stuck with them until 2014.

Muslims/Arabs should not be trusted, they are all the same even though they pretend to be different, they will blow you up the first chances they get. Not sure why some Indian posters are against this blossoming friendship with Israeli.

Israeli was the only nation to support India in it's wars against the Pakistanis, while India's so called Arab friends sat back and quietly sent money and arms to Pakistan.

Israeli has more knowledge in tech etc than the entire Muslim world, the Jews pride themselves in education etc and for a small nation surrounded by Arabs and Muslims who want to wipe them out they have proven to be the best of the best with it comes to military and defense techniques.

Iran could be a great country and have a lot of friends around the world, but they are like most Muslims and Arab nations such in the stone age, with a conspiracy mentality, no wonder they are not getting anywhere.

India is all for good ties with Israel and Iran. India supports the existence of Israel, supports self rule for Palestine and opposes nuclear weapons with Iran but wants good ties with Iran and opposes war in Iran.

Its a fair and balanced position. While some Irani leaders are prone to making provocative statements, its not our PM's job to try to teach them manners in their own country.

Besides, our PM is a joke, honestly.

I support Israel as well as Iranians . Both are humans who share common interest in life .
A mans mind is such that it is forever active to fight and skip the good parts of others or try to adjust .
There are some bunch of people , just hundreds on both sides who spread their propaganda and hate and fools fall for it .
Try and understand people and a smart guy would always try to be friends with maximum people possible .

This is not about Iran and Israel, (How does agreeing with one of Iran's viewpoints equal supporting Iran as a nation?) this is about the Arab Palistenians. So the question really is does India want better ties with Arabs?

The answer should be carefully based on studying past alliances with Arabs, and how that worked out for the respective nations involved.

Although I like India's neutral stand ...I was really pissed off when the Israeli embassador's wife was attacked by Iranian nationals..but india remained quite.

i would like to see a stronger India and not always toe the middle path even if it our own soverignity is is abused.

Israel was with india in kargil war and have boosted our forces n in agriculture and we have to learn a lot from them. ...

on other hand,iran always sided with pakistan in wars but in 90's they voted for india in OIC avoiding resolution in UN.....

Those who says israel is pet,then do war with them...israel will take whole middle east n gulf with them...

Awesome comment. Best of the day!

It would be better if Iran completely stays away from Israel related issues, it is not directly related with Iranian interests. For all Iran's efforts on behalf of the Palestinians, it is not as if Hamas is particularly grateful.

It is a high-risk strategy to openly express the wish for the destruction of a nuclear power, without having one's own nuclear deterrent, and to work on developing sensitive technology at the same time.

And he runs a country under constant Jihadist threat? I don't think Indian's enemies share his sentiments for silence. More like emboldens them to continue to do what they do.

If my PM kept quiet in such events, i would demand his impeachment. A leader should lead, not sit politely and say nothing.

Till Muslims are ruling India (thru proxy like Sonia, Mulla-yam and Lallu) India will not recognize Israel. Till BJP came into power, Indian Muslim governement were pro-Palestine. It was Bajpai (BJP) and Gen Jacob who build Indo-Israel relation.

@ Israel-Iran relation: Historically India is close to Iran (The converted Muslims(Parsis)) India is home for parsis, Thats why Indian have soft corner with Iran. while Indo-Israel is new chapter.

If Iran attack Israel . India will do nothing, coz Israel is enough to tackle Iran.
If Israel attacks Iran, India will do nothing coz Iran can fight for its survival.

Our strategic benefits lies in Iran and cultural benefits lies with Israel (Remember Hindu India is only country which never hurt Jews).
