Not too much to support that theory
- For every one instance of a dispute of disagreement between India and a neighbour (except Pakistan), there is also one area of cooperation.
- One needs to consider the fact that except for China, none of these other countries have much contact with each other either - does not mean they hate each other.
- With regard to China, expansionist powers with a zero-sum understanding of realpolitik will naturally try to curb the influence of other players, so while we are not exactly enemies, there will always remain some undermining of interests involved.
- There is much more material at hand to support the contention that except for being used as leverage and proxy by China, it is Pakistan that stands isolated in South Asia and has no diplomatic relations commensurate with its grand aims of competing with India.
Ever wonder, Why all its neighboring countries - China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan, hate India so much?
