By the way @Irfan Baloch sir,just take a look at this following thread :
What If India Attacks Pakistan?
Is there any need to start such a thread,what sense does it make??What purpose do these kind of threads serve??You were a professional soldier,do you pros really believe that all we Indians want is to destroy your country one way or the other??
in short my dear I am sorry to say the answer is Yes
military mind is different from a pacifist
we always train to improve and refresh our skills of war and prepare for all contingencies we dont leave anything for chance case in point (Israel has contingency in place in case its biggest and most generous backer turns against it. UK has contingency in place against Pakistan in case its nukes are hijacked by fanatics or some rouge elements)
hopefully my statement above does't bust the bladder of some blowhard internet Conan the conquerors. but the reason to go in detail was just to show that military always talks about "what if scenario".
now coming to that thread. what is my take?
maybe India doesn't want to invade and annihilate Pakistan but what we unanimously agree is that India finds it convenient and beneficial that Pakistan is tangled in a perpetual uncertainty and unrest so things in Karachi happen and things happen in Balochistan as a whole. we do try to think otherwise but the reality strengthens such perception. recently Indian decision makers (regardless of what party is in government) has been dominated by Hawks and like the Americans, Indians think that exerting military muscle will get it the necessary attention and prestige that will make it a worthy super power like the America.
likewise in India there is a general perception that Pakistani military is constantly at war with Indian state and once again there are plenty of examples to substantiate such claims
that said , we cant ignore the voices of some Pakistanis and Indians who are genuinely interested in peace and continue to advocate the bridging of gap and restoring trust and mutual respect. the natural calamities do bring the best out of us both of us.
