General Kayani wants regional balance of power.

[shuntmaster]

2009 Sino-Pak collaboration & support to Sri lanka in terms of both moral & material, = "LTTE" being wiped out ( which started off as an "external" "response" to Sri lanka cozing up to the U.S back in the 80's), while @ the same time paving the way for the ever growing influence of China in Sri lanka & now even Maldives , Chinese foot mark in the Indian Ocean region = "Hambantota" this is what is called
"Regional balance of Power"

Basically you are saying, Chinese encirclement of India. Sino-pak friendship goes back to 1950's, but they didn't lift a finger to help Pakistan in '65, '71 or '99. Why will they stick their neck out now for Pakistan, when today India is in a position to make most damange to China than in anytime in last 60Yrs.?
Also, China is more worried about its own encirclement by US and its Asian allies. Why will it want to force India into an Anti-China alliance?
Also, as far as SriLanka is concerned, its the least of our headaches. What is the worst they can do, even if they sell out wholesale to China? The economy & population of SriLanka is smaller than one of southern state Tamil Nadu. Also, it wouldn't take much effort for India to create trouble in SriLanka, if they try to become troublesome. Same goes to Bangladesh.

How can there be "balance of power" with two biggies - China and India - in the region and two islamic (mostly) powers Pakistan and BD?

Lanka's best chance is to play off Pak/Ind/China/BD off each other and follow the Singapore growth model. There is no way SL can have "balance of power" with respect to bigger countries. there is simply no depth for SL.

Its interesting to see BD being projected as a power.

SL is way ahead any day.

Charity begins at home Mr Kayani..nobody will contradict that its pakistan,not India who are responsible for regional disruption.the very first step that any country should take is simply stop spreading terrorism(so called rebels/freedom fighters for some).thats'll be the cornerstone of Peace in this region.but that thing should start from Pakistan.Nepal,Bhutan,Bangladesh,Sri Lanka-all tried and successfully got rid off from this plague.Mayanmar is also trying.India curbed this in some extent(cross border terrorism can't be curbed unless mutual understanding in place).but which country is simply ignoring this fact????I hope all knows the answer...

Mr Kayani is simply trying to find power balance between India and Pakistan,nothing else.as the economy is tumbling and Armed forces are starving for newer equipment,gradually,Pakistan is loosing power parity between India and Pakistan.now,getting hopelessly underpowered for a conventional war with India,he is simply trying to find a strategic way to getting India busy.

[lutfishah]

What is his proposal in achieving regional stability based on a balance of power?

Simple "Defence and economy"

I remember when India did the nuke tests and started to threat Pakistan.
But things cooled down when Pakistan tested nukes.

You mean after pokhran-1 in 1974?

 

[Bang Galore]

I want balance of power between India & the EU & India & the U.S.. Not going to get it by talking, am I ?

He thinks selling weapons to SL and pimping China into this trilateral rag tag military of Sino-Pak-SL equation he will bring balance of power in this region which otherwise tilting towards India.


Well, nice try, we want the same to happen because if one will fall all three will fall. Lets see who will start it first and then how they will support each other during hard times.

It didn't start in Kashmir, it started in Junagadh initiated by Pakistan. Just one month before the invasion of Kashmir, Pakistan created on two-nation theory tried to accede Hindu majority Junagadh with non-contiguous Pakistan. Junagadh issue exposed what Pakistan really wanted from India, that was hostility.

In all cases Pathankot Tehsil of Gurdaspur was non-Muslim majority and thus was coming to India like Shakargarh tehsil of Gurdaspur was awarded to Pakistan. Gurdaspur award keeps no importance, Pakistan too got non-Muslim majority districts.

divide bharat into 32 independent states and then live in peace, piece by piece....

how will you achieve this "din mein khwab" for the balance of power in the region?

there is no border it is illegally occupied territory which we need ti liberate and bring democracy to it.....

There is no illegally occupied territory by India.

Just to add for the record :

The Cycle began backin 47 - 48 when Pak Army disguised as tribals entered J&K followed by Op Gibraltar by Ayub in 65.

India has traditionally torn a page off PA's book of dirty tricks & possibly done a better job of it.

Yes , I agree it should cease.

Dont know if you have done a better job of it.
Let see you lost Pakistan in 1947, then you lost firther territory in 48 when we took 1/3 kashmir and gilgit and baltistan. Then in 1971 Pakistan lost East Pakistan which became bangladesh(here also india did not gain back its lost territory lol).

So both have suffered territory loss. And we have a shaky truce right now, which could break any moment.
Already, mujahideens have started their activities in IOK.

More killings, more destruction. Same cycle will continue on and on..............
