Yes. One exercise and Russian army will invite the new country into their inner sanctum. /s
US/NATO has a peace program with Russian Army. Their observers are part of their meetings. I understand such things make Pakistani folks happy. But have you wondered something else? India gets much needed information about your tactics through Russia. Go ahead and say they wont. If you claim Pakistani SF is practicing with them, yes much better. If you think this cannot be true, please remember why during red flag exercises IAF kept the radar modes in training. To protect the bars signal.
True, Russia could have cancelled. But that's what Independent policy looks like.
I get people want to show India in a bag way here. But bit logic always helps. Also, isn't Russia and US both conducting drills with India on the same dates. Well they are!!.
Pakistan can easily exploit the fault lines, the divisions and the discrepancies prevalent in the Indian society.
1- The Caste system, 200 million Dalits, earlier called untouchables [achoot] living in a subhuman condition in India, was reading daily 3 Dalits were killed in India as a percentile of yearly killings. They in fact are protesting, are marginalized and at the bottom edge of poverty.
2- About 180-200 million Muslims, according to SACHAR committee report, there living conditions are as worst as Dalits, lives a marginalized lives, lives in ghettos mostly. They are subjugated and lives in constant fears from the majority Hindus. They can easily be exploited/supported. to get their basic and justified rights.
3- There are many ST/SC/OBC caste which are kind of lower caste in Indian society again living sub human lives, with some quota allotment for a few in government jobs and in education. The fault lines in India is so huge, widespread, clear and manifest that India cannot stop the insurgency once it starts...actually this is happening, check the Patel community protest in Haryana, 24000 crore lost, recent Cauvery river water protest in Karnataka, 20000 crore lost, this is between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
But Pakistan is behaving in a mature and responsible manner, unlike India. Neighbors need to help each others as it's the region which develops and not isolated countries...
Ok. All true. But if Pakistan does anything, it will just backfire on you. Hold on before typing some digs.
Just check ALL the media in India now. Not just the right wing ones. If it relates to National Security its all set aside. There is a pecking order for fights.
1. Lets say 300 million dalits. No they ALL are not protesting. Some are there.
2. Lets say 400 milliom muslims. They can be exploited by Indian leaders. Not by external ones. I have to say this, but you got to be kidding me on that.
3. sub human lives? India had Kalistan thing which is resolved. Most are living cushy lives. North east are part of elected governments. So is the Naxals. I know its hard to digest the real situation in India. But... Thats how thing goes. You see, everyone wants money. And apparently that's how economic development works. India is becoming rich. Richer every day. Slowly. Baby steps. Everyone knows you rock the boat and you loose everything.
And you said KA and TN protest. Wish you guys know what a Kannadiga or Tamilian will say about Pakistan and their values.
. In southern states, they are the most vehement ones against pakistan.
So my friend, logic please.
