Sure you can question the source. But you cant question the iron facts:
Since your independence, have you made any material progress with China in land disputes?
None!
Have you made any progress with Pakistan on land disputes?
None!
Have you fixed border with Nepal?
None!
Have you fixed your border with BD?
No!
This is what I called your failed foreign policy.
You seem to be an ill informed person to me.....
Regarding China:Have you heard about about the Nathu-la pass and opening of the famous silk route??the current trade volume between India and China stand at around US $ 60 billion.
Regarding Nepal: We have an open border and a healthy and friendly relation...What were you thinking???
Regarding Bangladesh:On September 8, 2010, India and Bangladesh finalized a railway link agreement to improve connectivity. The link will reduce the distance between Agartala and Kolkata via Guwahati from an arduous 1200 km to just 519 km.
There is also the proposed 13 km long Akhaurah-Agartala railway link, 5.4 km of which would be in the Indian territory. It is to be financed by India. This was agreed upon during the last visit of Sheikh Hasina in January 2010.
Apart from that multiple projects are going on to increase connectivity like road construction and bridges.
Regarding Myanmar:Senior General Than Shwe, Myanmar's head of State recently visited India to bolster economic ties and trade,his second time in 6 years.You can surely understand which way the wind is blowing.
Regarding Srilanka:India is the biggest trading partner of Srilanka.Trade has gone significantly higher after the signing of the FTA which went effective in 2000.
Since a bilateral free trade agreement was signed and came into effect in 2000, Indo-Sri Lankan trade rose 128% by 2004 and quadrupled by 2006, reaching USD 2.6 billion.Between 2000 and 2004, India's exports to Sri Lanka in the last four years increased by 113%, from USD 618 million to $1,319 million while Sri Lankan exports to India increased by 342%, from $44 million to USD $194 million.Indian exports account for 14% of Sri Lankas global imports. India is also the fifth largest export destination for Sri Lankan goods, accounting for 3.6% of its exports
Definitely we cant have bad relations and good trade in the same time....What do you think???
Regarding Bhutan:Again we have an open border and a friendly relation.India is financing projects to build dams in Bhutan that will supply electricity to both the nations.We have student exchange programs.The Royal Bhutan Army trains along with the Indian army and have fought alongside the Indian army.
Regarding Pakistan:We indeed have severe issues with Pakistan,which is quite understandable due to the long history starting from partition,4 wars numerous skirmishes,and not to mention,application of terrorism as a state policy.
But indeed we tried to resolve our issues.But that effort has to be from the other side as well and I must add, a sincere one.When Indian PM Vajpayee went to Pakistan to resolve the issues,he went there with a clear conscience.But when he came back he had to face the infiltration issues in Kashmir.That tells so much about the Pakistani intention.
But,the architect of Kargil,Pervez Musharraf was again allowed to set his foot on Indian soil,to talk peace.That tells so much about the Indian intention.
But that does not mean that trade does not exist between India and Pakistan,which has stands at a little more than US $ 2 billion.
An Indian company even has a market for motor vehicles in Pakistan.
