Just wait and see dear neighbor, India's containment will be complete within the next decade.
Unlikely, for India to be contained, it would require Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Myanmar to close their territories for us.
And all three are close friends of India. India and Bangladesh have historic high relations at the moment and there is bipartisan support in Bangladesh to be friendly and have great relations with India.
And do you know that China itself is not 'containing' India. China is ready to export whatever they have to India and India is ready to export our goods to them. So our trade with China will remain unhindered.
And lastly, India can never be contained in the traditional sense - of economics and security - simply because of 2 reasons:
1. We have a ridiculously big coast line that guarantees that India's trade can not be stopped by any state.
2. PLAN will never have enough vessels to station in Indian Ocean to ever challenge Indian Navy credibly. The rest of South Asia does not even have a Navy worth its name. Indian Navy is growing too fast for that.
