ha ha ha... very good debate... @
mods why are you allowing these one liners?
Anyways, Let me give you some assignment to read!
"Since 1947, Pakistan has devoted a considerable portion of its national resources to balancing India, leading Ayesha Jalal to describe Pakistan's political economy as defence oriented rather than development oriented.5 Throughout the 1950s, Pakistan spent around 4 per cent of its Gross National Product (GNP) on defence. While the impact of this high level of defence spending is in dispute, this was seen as essential by the Pakistani political elite.6 Prime Minister Khwaja Nazimuddin did attempt to reduce defence spending in the early 1950s, but his successor, Mohammed Ali Bogra, quickly reversed the decision, and defence expenditure continued to remain high.7 By the late 1960s, Pakistan's defence expenditure consumed almost 6 per cent of the GNP, while the Indian figure was about half of this. Despite bearing only half the burden, in absolute terms, India still spent between six and seven times what Pakistan spent on defence.8 In 1970, Pakistan spent 5.75 per cent of its GNP on defence, which amounted to $325 million (in current dollars); India spent 2.99 per cent of its GNP, but this amounted to $2.43 billion. By 1975, Pakistan was spending 6.28 per cent of its GNP on defence, amounting to $622 million, while India, spent 3.32 per cent of its GNP on defence, a total of $3.3 billion.9 Through the rest of the decade, Pakistan's defence burden of 5 per cent of GNP remained nearly twice as high as India's. India's defence burden increased in the 1980s, staying consistently over 3 per cent of its GNP, and Pakistan kept pace, raising its defence budget to more than 6 per cent of its GNP.10 Indian defence spending has since come down, staying mostly below 3 per cent of GNP through most of the 1990s, but Pakistan's defence budget has remained high even through the 1990s, mostly above 6 per cent of GNP."
Neorealist Theory and the India-Pakistan Conflict*-II
The author says that Kashmir was NEVER the sole dispute between India and Pakistan.... But it is Pakistan's persistent effort to balance India... "Pakistan's position is odd: it is not so weak as to need to bandwagon, but neither is it strong enough to balance India alone."
So it is just the economy....India has to concentrate on the rupee devaluation and faltering economy! Everything will fall in place.
"Without its external military alliances Pakistan's capacity to balance India was inadequate, if not negligible."
All India has to do is make it negligible even with Pakistan's external military alliances!
