kaarma is a beeaach bhai jaan
biggest beeeaaach.
you say alienating? Sure.
And guess what India is included in SCO right at the same minute as Pakistan.
Modi blabbering has failed totally. in fact such pagal punna is making Pak army stronger. Just watch all the state welcome parties for Gen Raheel all over the world.
Heck the main negotiations for Afghanistan are being held in Pakistan with US and China as observers.
India and Modi kicked out.
I wish Modi was sane enough to realize Pakistan's reach in global affairs. And today he too would be respected in Pakistan and invited in important negotiations.
But the mad man failed miserably.
I agree, we still have not been much successful in this area. But the indicators are positive.
1.A lot of terrorist outfits based in Pakistan and nurtured by Pakistani army have been banned by UN with their assets freezed.
2. Countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Jordan, which had actively helped Pakistan before, against India are now helping India to take down these terrorist networks.
3. Afghanistan is no longer a terrorist breeding ground and no matter what happens as the former Afghan Foreign minister says, Afghanistan is not going back to becoming Pakistani army's strategic backyard.
4. US State Department has imposed sanctions on at least 22 different people and 4 different organizations. It's treasury department has freezed assets of the same.
5. India had certain degree of success in decoupling Pakistan from rest of South Asia by forming BBIN (Unrelated to SCO, China is not South Asia).
6. UK has been found lobbying for India's inclusion in to NSG while at the same time they have sanctions against nuclear exports to Pakistan. I'm sure you are aware of India's civilian nuclear pacts as well.
7. India recently tried to impose sanctions through UN, for the Lakhvi case. All the other countries agreed except for China. That should tell you how heavily biased things are in favour of India. China has certain economic interests, but I'm sure with perseverance, we can deal with it too. That Chabahar port may come handy, if the cards are played correctly.
We can go on and on about it, just quoted a few salient points.
So far, the efforts have been concentrated on building the ground. Gradually we will make progress. As India develops economically, we will be able to take more direct and deliberate actions.
All this is done by Indian bureaucracy, and that remains unchanged be it Modi or Manmohan, they all will more or less conform to the same line, the vigour may change to some extent depending upon various other factors.
I'm sorry things are going this way. But when certain elements within Pakistan assisted by it's army attacks our Parliament, hijacks our planes(multiple times!), or kills hundreds of innocent people in Mumbai in the most barbaric fashion that the World has ever seen then don't expect us to sit tight and do nothing about it. We may not straight-away go for 'an-eye-for-an-eye', but, we will of course do our best to protect ourselves.
