So what.You think the world will remain silent when China and Pakistan gang up on India.

You are right. All developing countries should focus on economic development rather than border disputes. Some country will be very happy to us in conflicts, so that we will always be developing countries.In reality, the two fronts that Modi should focus on is sanitation and the rape epidemic. If he is successful in these efforts, than he would be successful.

Difficult to face joint China-Pak threat: IAF - Hindustan Times
Difficult to face joint China-Pak threat: IAF

The Indian Air Force has dropped a bomb with its alarming admission that it will be difficult for it to tackle a combined threat from China and Pakistan, raising questions about the country's ability to fight a two-front war.
The IAF has told a Parliamentary panel that Pakistan would certainly fish in troubled waters if China were to launch offensive operations against India. It, however, stressed that China may not pose "a collusive threat" if hostilities were to break out between India and Pakistan.
Setting off alarm bells, a senior IAF officer informed the Parliamentary standing committee on defence that a "collusive threat" from China and Pakistan would be difficult to tackle but the air force was prepared for it.
"We have made plans in case of contingency-III (two-front war)," he said, adding that India had upgraded its policy against China from dissuasion to deterrence.
The IAF currently operates 34 fighter squadrons, against a desirable 42. In a report tabled in Parliament on Tuesday, the panel asked the IAF to scale up its capabilities by speeding up the acquisition of 126 French Rafale fighters, a deal worth Rs. 120,000 crore.
The panel flagged concerns about poor border infrastructure on the Indian side, at a time when China has ramped road, rail and air connectivity across the line of actual control (LAC).
The panel warned that the pace of China's military modernisation and infrastructure development had affected the "strategic balance" between the two countries.
"Our defence forces must develop the capability to fight a multi-front war," the panel said. India is years behind the Chinese military with the neighbour currently outnumbering the country's combat power by a 3:1 ratio. India's hopes to bridge the gap in the next 15 years hinge on availability of funds.
Finance minister P Chidambaram on Monday announced that the defence budget for 2014-15 had been hiked from Rs. 203,672 crore to Rs. 224, 000 crore, a 10% increase over last fiscal's outlay.
However, the meagre increase in the capital expenditure could hit the modernisation plans of the armed forces. The capital outlay has been increased from Rs. 86,740 crore to Rs. 89,587 crore in the interim budget for 2014-15, a hike of barely 3.2%.
China's official, but underreported, defence budget for 2013-14 stands at Rs. 594,000 crore.

The same question for indiaHigher experience in what?high tech war pakistan fought with whom to gain experience? fighting taliban?
Our army is capable enough to catch 90000 soldiers as POW.The same question for india
So why didn't :-If here is ever a war between Pakistan and India, China would want to fry its stake of Arunachal Perdesh in the heat. And if there was ever a war between China and India on Arunachal Perdesh, Pakistan would want to fry its stake of Kashmir in it. India doesn't have leverage to choose a single-front war with any of these countries.
