Indian Obsession With Pakistan

PRIME Minister Narendra Modi’s Pakistan bashing on BRICS forum signifies what? Indian obsession with Pakistan? Or how important is Pakistan for India? that the latter employs every regional/international platform to isolate Pakistan. Like the election campaign, Pakistan is the top most agenda for the BJP. The approach to diplomatically isolate Pakistan seems to be the prime goal for the Indian leadership. Indian psyche still revolves around the old Cold War politics. Indian opposition to Pakistan-Russia joint military exercise reflects this trend.
In 2014, Narendra Modi was elected as Prime Minister of India, the noted Indian historian, Pankaj Mishra, wrote that “India is entering its most sinister period since independence in 1947”. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s has threatened to dam Pakistan’s rivers. India has blamed Pakistan for the attack on Indian Army camp Uri. India has boycotted to attend 19th SAARC summit, scheduled in Islamabad. India has tried to pressurize smaller SAARC states and gang up against Pakistan, thus, economic realities have been downgraded to political considerations. The unfounded Indian claims of surgical strikes within Pakistan territory were also a part of an unabated anti-Pakistan campaign of Modi’s political doctrine.
The agenda behind all such anti-Pakistan moves is to isolate Pakistan. India’s negative policies towards Pakistan and opposition to regional integration efforts are also a hurdle towards regional peace and development. As Pankaj Mishra wrote, “Modi is a life-long member of the RSS, a para-military Hindu organisation inspired by the fascist movements of Europe”. The Indian atrocities in Indian Held Kashmir (IHK) have heightened the regional tensions. The Kashmir movement has entered a crucial phase which is evident from the fact that after almost hundred days of daily protests, more than seventy days of curfew across the state and very high number of Kashmiris martyred.
Indian isolationist policy towards Pakistan in the backdrop of the regional developments seem to have failed miserably. New allies, alliance structures and regional groupings are the prevailing trends. Russia skeptical of US-India strategic partnership is trying to re-identify allies. The Pakistan-Russia defence ties reflect this trend, both the countries held the first ever joint military exercise ‘Druzhba-2016’ (Friendship-2016). The exercise was held in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, around 200 military personnel from both the countries participated in joint exercise. Earlier, Russia held maritime exercises with Pakistan (2014 and 2015). Russia has removed the embargo on the sale of military equipment and arms to Pakistan, country which fought wars with Moscow’s ally India. In July 2015, Pakistan and Russia also signed a deal to buy four Mi-35 attack helicopters. Another development is the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), often referred as the ‘game changer’. Pakistan’s Gwadar port and CPEC are an integral part of the Chinese led One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative. With the implementation of CPEC, Pakistan could become a major world channel for petro-chemical trade.Prime Minister Modi’s history of communal violence and anti-Pakistan rhetoric made his way to PM’s office.
The Hinduvta ideology won the Indian masses but it cannot mould the regional as well as global audience. Pakistan’s strategic capability and regional significance is a reality. Indian policy to isolate Pakistan will never be successful. India sooner or later will have to give up this Bollywood saga.

By the way we are not obsessed but
India has to be careful and vigilant given Pakistan 's obsession
for Kashmir and our recent History of terrorism

And since the hostility continues there will be consequences

Just like Pak is obsessed with India.

Both our countries have been enemies since both our countries' inception, it is only natural that we use all facets of diplomatic power to defeat pakistan, just like pakistan tries to do the same, fails horribly at it but tries.

And we are isolating Pak, it is slow but it is definitely happening the recent DAWN fiasco proved that much.

OP's article is basically another one of those self serving lip service pieces manufactured to sate the public so that they not pressure the government to act overtly against India, which for all their worth the Pak brass know they can NOT.

Its Pakistan's motto to bleed India with thousands cuts, hence obsession is from Pakistan. We are just reciprocating it.

 

[barbarosa]

Both countries should respect each other.
Indian leaders use the language as USSR while Pakistan as a ISIS, which is the way of Nuke war.

English Alphabet of some countries start either with 'K' or 'J' instead of 'A', and then they talk about Indian obsession.

One only has to only look at the number of Indians on this forum, and then compare that to the number of Pakistanis, on Indian forums to know who is obsessed with who.
