A very similar thread and potentially redundant discussions: http://defenceforumindia.com/military-strategy/28509-land-link-afghanistan-way-india-out-south.html

How naïve. Who cares what they think of the LoC? They thought of the same thing and even threatened to use nukes during Kargil War. They always use that threat because that is all they can do. Whether we threaten drone strikes or a full scale war, they will always threaten to use nukes, so...

W.r.t. India taking back PoK and GB from Pakistani control: Assumption 1: Pakistan will nuke us! Rebuttal: On what grounds? We are not taking Pakistani territory, neither claiming it. Moreover, we fought the Kargil War when we both had nukes. Are we going to sit back and buckle down under this...

Probably and then there are numerous assumptions here, especially with Pakistan's nukes. I think all the regions marked 1 can be easily taken within 2 weeks. I just put extra days there for unforeseen events. In any case, India will have to first take control of the foothills and supply routes...

Yes, unfortunately, going by the official maps, PRC does not really have any border with Pakistan and if one were to assume that Tibet and East Turkestan are not parts of the PRC, PRC will have no border with India at all and that hypothetical scenario would be extremely peaceful from the Indian...

Getting back PoK and GB Getting back Pakistan occupied Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan Please see the map attached herewith. The campaign will be a 3 phase campaign and it is assumed that India will, otherwise manage the possibility of the nuclear retaliation by Pakistan. Phase 1: Take control of...

If they could build the Callao-Huancayo Railway in Peru and the Tibet Railway in Tibet, the answer is yes!

You mean Wakhan Corridor? That was artificially created to separate Russian Empire from the British Indian Empire following the Great Game that was then being played. Afghanistan was the buffer state that separated India and Russia. Let them invest and build all the roads they need to. We...

Our cold start policy was roughly based on this: take territory all along the border and LoC but not go too deep into the enemy territory, then declare ceasefire and negotiate. Personally, I would first go and establish a siege of Islamabad and Lahore and use our Navy to bombard Karachi...

India could have possibly provided ground troops, but the point is it is up to the Afghan government to protect their assets. That road was a gift to Afghanistan from India. Once they have it, they are the ones who should protect it. If India were to commit troops to protect that road, then...

This is what I have been hoping although I know it won't happen anytime soon. Things would be much simpler for both India and the US if the US seriously thought of normalising relations with Iran.

I wouldn't use the term 'annex,' rather 'take possession of what is ours.' BTW, you mean Gilgit-Baltistan right? Well, that is de jure Indian territory. We only have to make it de facto India territory. Why should we have to be lackeys of the US? We should try all we can to reclaim what is...

Thank God that Dr. War was sent off to the Gulag! Some people come here just to provoke others.
