How come the remaining of kashmir went to Afghanistan? It should have been annexed to India...
Something for Iran to worry about.

This is an old issue with fishermen getting picked by Pakistan and Srilanka, and their fishermen being picked by the IN and the Indian coast guard. This will continue, since fisherman of all three countries violate the waters of other country just to catch some fish whether knowingly and unknowingly. The IN can't keep running after these fishermen, that's the Coast Guard's job, but even they can't do much if people knowingly violate other countries waters. IN is more concerned with the anti-piracy efforts, and it is doing a sterling job at it, best among all other navies patrolling the Arabian sea-Gulf of Aden region.http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/videos/news/Indian-vessel-impounded-in-Iran/videoshow/7632861.cms

Indian ships are getting plucked off all over the IOR... where is the IN to enforce their rights?
Mate, most of these fishermen folk are poor, illiterate people, the sea is their only source of income. Most of them venture unknowingly into foreign waters, just to get a good catch. Its not their fault entirely, the maritime boundaries between India and its neighbors is very confusing, since the countries are very close-by, and you never know when you have ventured into Pakistani or Srilankan waters, in most cases especially with Srilankans, they are released after a while, and so do the Indian Coast Guard, it gets troublesome only with Pakistan. Taxing them is not an option, they need to taught about the dangers in venturing into foreign waters, and that job is carried out by the Coast Guard with the help of local authorities.Why aren't the fisherman just taxed big? That way they'll be more careful.
