In Sri Lanka, India overtly and covertly supported the insurgency against the state by LTTE, a nationalist Tamil group in the northern Jaffna region of this small island country, which kept it politically and economically destabilised for decades. In the end, India paid a price for interference when its prime minister, Rajiv Gandhi, was assassinated by a Tamil activist for having betrayed the movement.
And the story ends there?? Rajiv Gandhi was assasinated in 1991 by LTTE. Its been long time since 1991 mate, 19 years to be exact, and the idiot who wrote this article thinks India supporting LTTE after hummiliating Indian establishment by assasinating Rajiv?. Prabhakaran bcame one of the most wanted fugitive in India. the hunt for him and his organization continued untill his sh!t head go blown off by SL army weapon. And I dont think Rajapakshe CAN NOT deny the training and support given by Indian army to SL army, can he?
Although not a part of South Asia, China’s relations with India for decades have remained frosty, at best. They went to war in 1962 over a border dispute. Competing for regional leadership, it does not hesitate to antagonise China by hoisting Dalai Lama off and on to keep the issue of Tibet alive. Lately, having aligned itself with America to contain China, India is bargaining for a tense Sino-Indian relationship in the years to come.
totally idotic argument. when did Indian gov start building relationship with US gov bytheway?? since the Bush admin?? Untill recently India was the bad guy for US,China and Pakistan. Dont make me write an essay about the round table meetings happened between these trinity agaist India in Bangladesh liberation war. Till today US is the biggest market for Chinese goods and Pakistan is the biggest ally for the so called war on terror.
. But when US start to building relationship with with India somebody's azz starts to burn, i dont know why!. Now, as far as the use of "US use India to contain China" phrase is concerned, let me tell u guys something..... India is powerfull soverign nation that doesnt need anyone's help to contain china, we can do is ourself alone ,thanks, no need of US required. As of today, aprox 70% of our weapons are from Russia and the rest 30% are from France,Israel so on so forth, still, the Chinese believe we Indians are the biggest threat to them,Now, That is a proof that India doesnt need US to contain china. India started to economically challenge China way before even US starts to build relationship with India.
Last but not the least, India and US are naturally allies my friend and it will be like that as long as we claim ourself THE most powerfull democracies of the world.
With Pakistan, India maintains the worst of relations mainly because of Pakistan’s political and military standing and its ability to reject Indian domination. Outstanding disputes including Kashmir, water distribution, dams that India constructs in violation Indus Water Treaty and border issues have remained unresolved.
It give me a laugh when the author claimed Pakistan's ability to reject Indian domination.
. There is only two nations in the whole continant of Asia that can be listed with India as far as the power goes.....and they are China and Japan, often called as the trinity of Asia. I dont think i need to mention the list Pakistan is enlisted in.
By joining the American bandwagon in Afghanistan and positioning its troops in the name of infrastructure development, India created enough concerns for Pakistan.
who care about Pakistan's concern?? all we Indians care about is that after decades of war, terrorism, plundering finally afghanis will get a chance to live under a civilian government, in peace. If we can build them a brandnew parliament, road etc and teach their youth how to be a productive successfull citizen by giving them scholarship and oppertunity to study here in India and train them as civil servants, then we are proud that we are making a difference in this world. If Pakistan can not contribute anything good for Afghanis, let the others do the job.
But by its collusion with CIA and Mossad to take out Pakistan’s nuclear assets through subversion in Fata, the NWFP and other areas using the militants of Tehrik-i-Taliban, India is slamming shut the door on the peace process that Pakistan has been persistently trying to keep open ever since 1947. With a history of constant endeavours to balkanise Pakistan, Indian military build up in Afghanistan is seen by Pakistan’s military as an effort to put it in a nutcracker.[/B]
Dont talk about the commitment to the peace process alight!. Everybody know what heppened right before Kargil. Everybody know what happend to the master minds of Mumbai.
