No offense mate but many of the iranians in this forum have difficulty thinking strategicaly, every discussion turns into a cat fight and troll fest.
Every nation follows there own strategic interest, that is the sad reality of todays geopolitics.
It is not some sort kinder garden fight where everything is black and white.
Some of the pakistani poster are thinking here that China and Russia will gang up against India, and why should they we have trade of close to 70 b$ with China.
The Russians are our strategic partners in military, 60% of military hardware that Russia sold was to India this year. We are partners with them in development of 5th genration fighter aircraft.
Now coming to India-Iran relation ship this relationship is not only about oil.
Before 9/11 during Taliban reign India,Iran and Russia where the 3 countrys which where helping Northen alliance against the Talibs so our 2 countrys have worked together when our interest have been same.
India has helped iran in construction of Chah Bahar port and is also constructing 900KM railway network connecting with Afghanistan can you imagine the level leverage this has given you when it comes to Afghanistan.
Chah Bahar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
India follows foreign policy not because it wants to influense its culture in South Asia or to get some sort of ego boost. It follows a foreign policy which is the best for its national interest, so do china and Russia people are deluding themselves by thinking these countrys will fight some one else war.
I expect nothing else from Iran but follow a policy which is in its national interest and when our national interest become common just like Afghanistan, to act in way which is beneficial for as both.
I wasn't trolling, and I didn't mean the official stance of India. I meant the Indian people themselves. I've heard it many times, many times on this forum and other places, that Indians underestimate themselves and they always think that people in other countries like USA, UK, France, Germany, Israel, etc can do things that they can't. I've seen that from Indians many times and it has given me this bad impression that Indians will never become a super power because the mentality doesn't exist in the people. The ancient Persia which was secular in many periods too defeated India many times, they stole your property and your expensive and precious jewels from you and I've heard many Indians saying they love Persia, but today's Iran has done nothing wrong to you guys yet you guys bad mouth Iran only because of something which is totally out of your business (I mean Iran's issues with the west). It gives me this impression that Indians only like the ones that defeat them and humiliate them and if a country doesn't do that they don't respect that country as much as a country that is imposing itself on them. Only wrong impression that you guys have given to me!
I'm not anti-India or anything, but I think if a country wants to be independent and be influential, first of all the people should learn to be self confident and think independently. If you overestimate others and underestimate yourselves, that will never do! That's why I said the Indian mentality is different than the Iranian one. I have nothing against Indians and I know that Iran and India have normal or good relations in the real world, but the Indian mentality isn't the one that I like. Just my 2 cents.
