[QUOTE="Georgeclark, post: 6854459,]
What a bunch of bullshiit, so let's dissect this post and then I'll give you a conclusion. It's amazing how you mask every eff'd up thing that India does under the cover of "growth" and "stability":
1) Both India and Pakistan do terrorism inside each other's borders. The proofs that Indian media gives out, are proofs that can be made on a 1000 rupee scanner you can find on electronic stores. India is behind the Talibans and Baluch separatists doing terrorism in Pakistan, and Pakistan was behind Kashmiris. However Pakistan's involvement has decreased due to its Army's focus on Taliban related operations. While India is taking advantage of the situation and creating more fire across Pakistan. The proofs have been shown to the US government and others and that's why the US and the Britts pressured Modi to start peace talks again.
Now India's extremism Hindu government is further conducting violence inside India, which might create more violence and they should be worried and not kill their non Hindu minorities. But one Hindu nation's dream will cause thousands of minorities to be killed. That's what happens when you have religious nut cases running any government!!
2) Both India and Pakistan can NOT sustain a war as it will go nuclear very quickly. If India thinks it has the upper hand military wise, it's a pipe dream by its religious extremists running the country. Even minimal damage (and with over half Pakistan destroyed as many grandiose claims are made by the Indian members on here), your economy will suffer trillions of loss. Due to radiation fears, the West will stop investing, coming to India and the business's will move to China, Malaysia, Vietnam, The Philippines, etc, etc.
With just five major cities gone (20% of the educated population gone), India will never be in a position to be a global power against the Chinese. She'll need trillions to rebuild damaged infrastructure over two-three decades and it takes years for the radiation to clear up. I am not mentioning Pakistan as it'll be crippled in a nuke exchange.
So all in all, don't hide the real story by projecting bullshiit force and "economic growth" as excuses, instead of truly saying India can't win or sustain a war, as much as Pakistan can't. You can never become a regional power if a couple of your major cities got hit bad.
Bottom line, let the jingoism and grandiosity go. Both sides should solve issues so Pakistan can focus on eliminating terrorism and making peace inside and on the border. While India can also remain peaceful and grow to be a regional power soon. That will only happen when it stops Pakistan based operations). Someone needs to teach the concept of coexistence to both!!
