@Signalian @Nilgiri @Joe Shearer
Many thanks. Looking forward to your awesome posts, without denigrating
@Signalian for his primary efforts. This is turning out so fruitful.
The border with India is then reduced to half of current size. Dismantle 4-5 Infantry Divisions of Pakistan straightaway, sell the equipment and make new universities and hospitals. Insurgency ends on both sides. Siachen issue gets resolved forever. Deaths of muslims stop occurring on both sides of LOC.
I must be honest.
Leaving aside the morality of the situation that you outline, with the hint implicit that
@Mugwop made that this would be voluntary, or semi-involuntary on the part of India, you should be made aware that there is a segment of thought among responsible people that the situation you have suggested will never solve anything.
That there is an interested party in your society that is dependent on the creation of strife and warfare between our two countries for its institutional existence. That you are sounding its death-knell when you talk of dismantling 4 to 5 Infantry Divisions. That you frighten its leadership when you talk about building new universities and hospitals (incidentally, that is precisely what India did commencing 70 years ago, with the difference between her military budget and yours). That you raise to them the grim spectre of progressive reduction to just another institution among a number of other institutions. That from a position of leadership and absolute authority you propose that they should behave like ordinary human beings.
This segment of opinion believes that you will promptly find another cause for war, or for war-like behaviour. Read that as such a cause will be found for you. That besides the deep-rooted desire for dominance over the entire sub-continent that lay behind most of the political impulse that led to the creation of Pakistan in the first place, besides the evocation of a thousand years of rule that ill-educated schoolkids reach back to in their imagining of the situation between the two countries, which they reduce to the situation between two religious communities, that behind the veneer of diplomatic behaviour that your foreign service displays lies the overheated boast of the ghazwa-e-Hind that we hear so often, in perfect rhythm with our own unbalanced rabble mouthing their own slogans of Akhand Bharat, that the aim is not peace, the aim is a reversion to domination, a domination unluckily interrupted by the British interregnum.
Leaving aside other aspects, this part is not one that is likely to disappear from the thinking of Indians. Even peace-loving and hopeful Indians.
Sorry, but there is a credibility deficit.
I posted a few maps in 2017 in this thread, pretty general and simple ones, post # 107, page 8

Incidentally, I read through your posts there with great interest. Once again, you have effectively made the point that you made in that brilliant post where you pointed out the pyramid of conversational topics, from glittering pieces of equipment to formations and their value to tactical discussions and battlefield analyses to strategic issues. Only a very, very few will ever survive that climb up the slippery ladder - slippery pyramid??? - and ever bother to discuss higher capabilities or options.
