Last night I was going through a long history of military conflicts between India and Pakistan. Surprisingly enough, in most conflicts I found India merely defending attacks on its territory from Pakistan:
So my question for Indian members of PDF is as simple as this:
- In 1947, Indian armed forces were airlifted to Kashmiri capital of Srinagar for defense against Pakistani tribal militants. They were not allowed to land unless Pakistanis hadn't reached the capital first; an outcome of a typical defensive policy.
- In 1965, when Pakistani forces infiltrated J&K during Operation Gibraltar, India chickened out again. Instead of retaliating at Pakistani weak points such as East Pakistan, it opened another war front in Punjab which pakistanis defended vigorously.
- In 1971, India lost its chance to resolve Kashmir dispute with Pakistan, despite gaining total victory in East Pakistan. With Instrument of Surrender, India could have demanded Pakistan-controlled Kashmir in exchange of some 90,000 Pakistani POWs.
- In 1984, we see India for the first time going offensive and taking Siachen Glacier from Pakistan during Operation Meghdoot. The cost of maintaining military presence at such high-altitudes have drained budgets for both nations, yet it has no dispute solving significance for either country.
- In 1999, Pakistani forces infiltrated J&K again to regain its losses from India's Operation Meghdoot. The invaders were driven out and India did nothing to grab further territory from Pakistan. This conflict ended in a stalemate, giving birth to Pakistani wars of attrition against India.
- Since then, there has been two major standoffs in response to terrorist attacks from Pakistan. In both cases, India effectively chickened out after mobilizing its armed forces near the Pakistani borders. These standoffs have cost India billions of dollars, yet they have no conflict resolving effect on Pakistan.
- What the heck is wrong with you people? When will you stop behaving like our Palestinian brothers who never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity?
- When will you grow up and act responsibly towards solving the Kashmir dispute by either hook or crook, thus ushering an era of peace and prosperity in the region? Having two nuclear armed states involved in proxy warfare against each other is not exactly solving anything.
Because as we all know Indians are more peace loving .......
Oil and gas are not everything ; India also has only two natural resources Iron ore and coal
The bigger point is what are you spending your existing resources on
You have human resources but they are not getting used
up properly and hence there is this growing extremism
The financial resources get used up in defence expenditure
To QUOTE Hillary Clinton ( She might be the next MAN in White House )
"If there were peace between Pakistan and India, and the outstanding issues were resolved, Pakistan would take off like a rocket in terms of economic development.

All we need now is let Washington and New Delhi decide what is good for us. Hell why not let New Delhi run Pakistan and then we could go to Mars ...
We could enjoy like the 200 million Dalit's in India who are partying everyday ....
