    Is US Playing the "India Card" Against China With "Indo-Pacific Quad"?

    Obviously US is playing India card to its benefit, while India is playing US card to its benefit. There is no such thing as free lunch.

    India joining Quad will do more harm than good

    I too wouldn't like a rivalry between China and India that saps the energy and is not productive. But the point is China is trying to assert itself. It is building roads in areas that India claims. It is encouraging Pakistan by giving them weapons against India. It opposes India's entry into...

    Pakistan PM rejects ‘independent Kashmir’

    Are you poor in reading? Go to the BBC link and read the survey results. And there won't be any vote in Kashmir. The only way for Pakistan to get Kashmir is by war. And war results could go either way. If India wins the war India will get Azad Kashmir and GB, if Pakistan wins it will get the whole of...

    Pakistan PM rejects ‘independent Kashmir’

    http://www.bbc.com/news/10161171 According to BBC survey '44% of people in Pakistani-administered Kashmir favoured independence, compared with 43% in Indian-administered Kashmir'. So there is a major chunk that want independent. Except Geelani, major separatist groups are pro independent.

    Pakistan PM rejects ‘independent Kashmir’

    Now with CPEC passing through Kashmir, Pakistan would never agree for an independent Kashmir. It would rather latch on to the only part of Kashmir that it has. So let all the Kashmir separatists including pro independent separatists such as Mirwaz, Yasin Malik and pro independent terror group...

    Pakistan PM rejects ‘independent Kashmir’

    I agree to one point by the PM of Pakistan, Kashmir cannot be independent. There has been a lot of noise emanating from Pakistan that let Kashmir be independent state. It is good that India and Pakistan are on the same page as regarding Independence of Kashmir. Also let the Kashmiris be clear...

    Why can't India and Pakistan have friendly relations?

    As I told, what you are saying could be the Pakistani position, but not of India's. India never believed in 2 NT and would never believe. India has 220 million minorities including Muslims, Sikhs and Christians, any pandering to 2 NT means a recipe for disaster in India. That is the reason why...

    Could India block Pakistani ports in case of a war?

    Your Navy is weak. You don't have the projection capabilities beyond your coastline. You will be tied defending your coastline than attacking Indian ports. Yes, you have submarines that can damage Indian ports, but they are limited, and India has better submarine capabilities and underwater...

    Could India block Pakistani ports in case of a war?

    You will not only fight Indian Navy, you also have to deal with Indian Air force and Indian Army that would be looking at entering into Pakistani territory. So you have to be prudent on how to distribute resources both on sea front and land front.

    Could India block Pakistani ports in case of a war?

    We don't underestimate the enemy. Do you think India spends more on its Navy than the total defense budget of Pakistan just for fun? Do you think India spends building ACs, hundreds of Destroyers, frigates and corvettes, submarines (both nuclear and conventional), missiles and 100's of fighter...

    Could India block Pakistani ports in case of a war?

    Yes, you will counter attack...that is why it is called war. What I am saying don't assume Indian Navy will be sitting idle at ports while a war is going on between India and Pakistan.

    Could India block Pakistani ports in case of a war?

    There is a difference between 'being ready for a war' and 'a war'. And Kargil was not a full fledged war. Pakistan claims that Kargil was not done by Pakistan's army but by Jihadis. But I am sure if Kargil would have gone by few more days, India would have imposed a naval blockade. As I said...

    Could India block Pakistani ports in case of a war?

    2002 and 2008 are not wars, so where is the question of blockade? I was saying in case of a war. If Pakistanis think that India will not block your trade lane in an event of war. Then I can only say you are living in a fools world. You army is strong, your air force is average, and you navy is...

    Why can't India and Pakistan have friendly relations?

    I am surprised by you innocent comments. May be in Pakistan that could be the thinking....let us solve Kashmir and live happily for ever, after all Muslims got what they wanted in 1947. But you have to recognize that it was the Hindus that were the looser in the partition. No wonder Jinnah is...

    Could India block Pakistani ports in case of a war?

    That is what India will do first....block Pakistan's trade line there by squeezing its economy and in turn weakening the Pakistan's ability to sustain a long war with India.
