Don't compare Ms.Gandhi's move to Soviet block with this move. Ms. Gandhi made the wisest choice possible at that time and fact is only because of that wise decision India has since been able maintain its sovereignty without compromise till date.
It was a disaster.
I see it like this.....
Some body poisoned Indian PM in Tashkent, so now all roads got clear for Mrs. Gandhi in India.
So what was her task..!
She have to butcher India's NAM and prefer to be on only one side, be it US side or on Soviet side.
And she preferred to be on Soviet side.
Don't forget that even during height of India-Soviet relationship, India never allowed Soviet troops on Indian soil. Or do you think USSR did not at least think of opening a front at our western border to reign in Pakis who had been a very harmful pest during the Afghan campaign?
That is why I said that with USSR we had an almost equal partnership.
NAM effect may be.
But Soviets offered it to India, in a way that you take entire POK back, during Afghan war.
Also, I would like to say only one thing that if you think India with its massive forces cannot defend its own borders, then we should seriously think about disbanding them. Our forces are more than adequate at defending our national interest and the stats have been discussed to death over it. And, except of pussies in IAF, IA and IN is fully confident too. Also, if you have taken in recent world-events, it would have been clearer to you that Russia can be counted on more than any Western nation can ever be to support their allies.
Yes, Indian forces are not equipped enough for two front war.
At least they were not equipped in UPA's tenure.
And when your enemy is a huge communist regime , then you must calculate it in grater depth.
Other wise you might end up like what happened with Finland in winter war.
And Russia supports Syria because of their oil and gas business, the Russian pipelines.
And India's situation is different here.
It is you who is out of his wits when you think that your own national interests will be protected by another nation which is on the spree of conquest worldwide.
You need material support. Specially when you got a huge communist country in front of you. You need your own military industrial complex.
Again, other wise you end up like what happened to Finland in winter war.
That is also what I think that Modi is thinking and that is why, I think he doesn't deserve my support anymore. I have seen Gujjus and when I respect a lot about them, I know that to them only two thing matters and none of that is national interest. Gujjus can go to a great extent for the money and the family.
Yeah dump Modi.
He doesn't go head on against Pakistan.
Don't vote for him, he is no good. I agree with you here about Modi. :biggrin2:
Being a PM is not a 'Business' dear, it is a far larger task where one has to look into the future too. If a short-term gain is going to damage one irreparably in future, one should be wise enough not to go for the short-term gain in the fist place.
Well, I think Modi has been brainwashed by the Lutyen's who are all USA lovers, and lost the sight of future.
You talk about future.....!
Lets talk then.
Tell me once this CPEC get fully operational, after it, as usual if Pakistan keep creating trouble for J&K, then what will your response....? They secured their part of Kashmir, now they claim your part also.
Allowing US troops on our soil is beyond something acceptable. And, those who are using the word 'mutual' might get their head's checked. Why would India need to use US soil for its troops on such a short notice that a treaty of 'mutual pact' is required? Are we going to invade Canada and freeze our arses there?
Sir, first of all I want every one of those who jumped in this thread with their wooden swards and anti Americanism and who hasn't read the most latest US LSA with other country, all of them should check their head first.
Indian troops are not going in Canada, but we need US support in our military industrial complex. Just to counter Chinese military industrial complex.
