The chief of the Indian Navy has specifically emphasized the "uncertainty of America" as the reason behind India’s reservations against having a military dimension applied to the proposed Quad alliance between the United States, India, Japan and Australia.

New Delhi (Sputnik) — Signalling major mistrust among members of the proposed alliance between the United States, India, Japan and Australia, namely the Quad, the chief of the Indian Navy, Sunil Lanba, has categorically stated that the alliance will not have a military dimension and will stick to safe and secure economic co-operation in due course as well. Admiral Sunil Lanba, who is also India's senior-most military commander, said India has an unresolved border with China and that there are several reasons to not apply a military dimension to the Quad.

"There are dependencies of the nations involved in the Quad like Australian dependency on China for their economic well-being. The uncertainty of America when push comes to shove. So, I do not think there is a need for a military dimension to the Quad," Admiral Lanba said at a function organized by a think tank in New Delhi.

The specific mentioning of the uncertainty of America is quite significant as, during the Doklam crisis, when the situation blew out of proportion at the border, the Trump administration maintained baffling silence during the crisis.

"We have to be cognizant of the fact that among the Quad members we are the only one who has the land border with China. Can we expect any members of the Quad, in case there is a difference of opinion and conflict on our northern border, to come to our rescue? Nobody will come and hold your hand," Admiral Lanba pointed out.

Not applying a military component to the Quad alliance indicates the importance India attaches to the opinions of the East Asian countries, as most of the countries view India as a regional power in the Asia-Pacific region, but do not favor any polarization of defense and trade.

Last week, Singapore's defense minister Ng Eng Hen sounded his reservation against the Quad and rather emphasized an "inclusive regional security architecture" wherein all small and large states have ways and means to resolve disputes through peaceful means. Admiral Lanba on Wednesday also indicated that India would maintain its growing defense and trade partnership independently in the region, which is also known as China's backyard.

"We are the only navy which has an open invitation to visit Vietnam and we have been doing this annually. Ships have been docking into Vietnam and ships have also gone onto Cameron Bay. I had the privilege to visit Vietnam last year and I was the first naval chief who was given access to the Vietnamese part of the naval harbor at Cameron naval bay," Lanba added.

The first meeting of the proposed Quad took place last November in Manila where diplomats from India, the US, Japan and Australia met after a long hiatus. The Quad alliance was first mooted in 2007 by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

No country can match our naval power in IOR so we won't need much help from quad in case of conflict anyway. Now we've started moving towards South China Sea also. For China, air force is the most significant force thats why procurement of Rafales and S-400 is game changer.

now do the indians understand its impending economic catastrophies comin' up ahead? america and europe were never in it with you for economic development and your so called economic "prowess". you were being simply prepared to be the bali ka bakra against CHINA! apparently now that india (at least its generals) are getting second thoughts about being america's and europes' dog for hire against China, they have decided to pull everything out of you and throw back into a period of economic poverty far FAR worse than india has ever seen. in other words, america is not leaving you any CHOICE but to commit suicide. either commit suicide fast and quick by locking horns with China or commit suicide slowly and painfully by economic poverty.

india sold its soul to the devil pretending to be an angel!

So Bharat Mata left with torn cloth and no shelter despite her dedicated service to Uncle Sam for long nights?
It seems you talk with experience, we will never repeat the mistakes of our neighbor while dealing with Uncle Sam.

We are apt at dealing with world powers , playing the global political game.

India has unsinkable "aircraft carriers" in the form of A&N Islands which extend our reach upto Sunda straits.Chinese surface vessels will have to take a long and circuitous route to enter IOR

Hope modi also realized that ;)
