From what i understood by what the poster posted was the India had been fighting major world powers since birth and pakistan was simply a proxy. My point was that - thats an incorrect and baseless conclusion.Not sure what do you mean by that..and what does it have to do with his point.
Speaking of reality, even now Russia and US are on opposite sides of many conflicts- Georgia, Ukraine, Syria and potentially Venezuela.
The Reality is that - the major world powers were fighting using India and Pakistan as proxy (like they did with every other emerging economy in the world - from Asia to Latin America) and simultaneously both India and Pakistan were furthering their own National Agenda using the major world powers as leverage.
I am a bit reluctant of the needless victimization some people hold leading to pointless value destructive rhetoric.
Despite everything India today is a top 5 Global Economy and Military Power. Like i have said before the institutions put in place in India (for a US$2500 per Capital GDP) - Our supreme court, EC, RBI, ISRO, DRDO, our plural democracy is unparalleled in Human History. In 1947 we were a mere fraction of Global GDP in the 70s we were poorer than Sub-Saharan Africa (?) - Look at us today. The United States had nearly 200 years of Cohesion to come to the position it held in the 90s and early 2000s. Imagine what we can achieve in another 50.
We build from this - not from oh the evil whitey wronged us or how the evil chinglooos are circling us.
Thats all.
