You make a cardinal mistake.
India under no circumstances considers Pakistan as MIGHTY!! Don't be delusional! Pakistan is just another country, a neighbour, if you will that is going through bad times because of their own making. Hardly, a mighty nation that is battling its own terrorists, sectarian scoundrels, a govt that is seconded to the military and the ISI and is at the mercy of its benefactor, the US.
Therefore, mighty? No.
I have studied with the Arab military. I daresay, if indeed they are anywhere one can call them military. They are chocolate cream soldiers at best. I have also studied with Iranians and Palestinians. They are a different kettle of fish. That is why the Arabs have fled licking their wounds against Israel always and every time, while the Hezbollah stood their ground against the Israelis.
No, Arabs will never fight. But they have equipment which their money can buy which Pakistan does not have! That they can give and have given too!
Pakistan did not survive because of Arabs, but material help matters when the US puts an embargo while India can merrily get equipment from USSR!
The embargo by USA was on both india and pak
Thats the point Tiki Tam Tam (try to understand it)
Nobody does anything for free
If you want to do a deal then you have to offer something in return whether it be cash or something related
Do you really think the Arabs give away free money to Pakistan ??????
No they dont !!!!! they ask for guarantees and security in return including protecting holy sites in case of emergency
.
I meant Mighty as in many Indians view their defeat over pak in 1971 as overwhelming i.e. thinking they faced superior forces and numbers when we all know its the opposite
India is larger than Pakistan so obviously its economy will be larger, armed forces, numerical advantage etc.
And as you so like to point out this Arab help.
Say pak wants 100 F15 fighters from Saudi Arabia for free do you think they will give us ?????
No they wont because they are giving it away for free when they purchased it with a lot of oil money.Also they have close relationship with usa AS ANOTHER FACTOR.
And 1 should remember that Pakistan has an economy too, inwhat ever state it is it still has annual turnover of £500 billion dollars its not like they are giving us $ 70 billion a year to keep us afloat.
Like Britain gives India £300 million pounds yearly , would India not survive if they did not had the money??? Would India collapse if they did not give the money???
Exactly thats my point as to whatever money they give us , we dont have to rely on them to survive. We should focus on our own economy and try to improve it..
Before you barge on usa giving us $20 billion in 10 years let me remind you we have lost $70 billion in same last 10 years and them burning $10 billion a day in Afghanistan gets no notice or let up
.
I am just opposed to interdependence on Arab states and USA as no benefits have been gained from it. (Corrupt pak leaders )
Peace
