Never underestimate your enemies. Oh well, please go ahead - do
Except it's not just past issues, but future ones too:
Luckily the balance of power between China and India is so strongly in our favor, that it doesn't even matter which side you take in future.
Back in 1962, we had just come out of the worst famine in all of Chinese history, and were on the verge of collapse from starvation, with both the superpowers looking for our blood, and surrounding us on all sides with their proxies. Both the superpowers were our open enemies, having previously fought the Korean War with the USA, and being in the middle of the Sino-Soviet split with the USSR.
Back then, India had a stronger economy than China, compounded by the Great leap forward which put our already weak economy on the verge of collapse.
Today the situation is completely different, our GDP is $8.3 trillion compared to India's GDP of $1.5 trillion (or less considering the collapse of the Rupee). Russia is our strategic ally, while the USA is our biggest trading partner, and we are their biggest creditor nation.
Not to mention that India right now is in the middle of a currency and deficit collapse, with looming elections in 6 months. India has never been weaker vis-a-vis China than it is right now, look at the video where our soldiers just pushed straight through the Indian border troops without any resistance.
