No , i do not think so in present and near future any Indo-gov would take out PoK. Reason is first pak has militraily fortified that region and purely economics...
When RAY sir was there i had asked him same question that can now Indian take back pok region.he said same thing that pak militraily has fortified it well.secound economics to subsatin war in POK region and then its merger with india and third there should be will in future govs to take on.he does not see any gov having will
Present gov is rasing is purely barganing chip to force enemy to defacto accept LoC as present boundary
IF you had analyses track 2/back channel most what indian had offered to pak is convert LoC as IB.
Even musuraff-MMS negotiations where on same lines to accept loc as IB
Point is not whether indian-militrailycan take on Pak militraily . Indian militraily can take on pak miliraily provided it has resources which they are demanding from centuries.
Point is whether future gov have any will to taken on . Will to subsatin pressures.Will to subsatin huma casulaities which would result in war while taking pok back and calling off pak nuclear bluff,
Point is can future gov have will to direct Indian militraily to take on battle pok .
Look how american-Europe pressure/sanction on iran brought it on negioatiating table for its nuclear reactors.
same kind of saction would be applied on India.
What present gov is doing is going on offensive on pok/balchusitan to force pak on accept LoC as IB
earlier gov where always defensive and never raised POK point now its begin raised and pak has no idea how deal with it.
how much of crude oil storage is there in India to sustain for domestic and military. How long we can sustain in war, with out having impact on our domestic Dependant economy. In what scenario does china poise to enter in to two front war , if we go in to POK.
nice posts from all of you quoted above
in terms of sanctions, on a side note , regarding those on iran , it is actually the international community which blinked first, ...it is they who have given in basically to all of iran's demands which if we recall accurately was not for the right to make a nuke bomb but merely for the right to have nuke energy as a working option
this the international community has now allowed and the safe guards are largely self inspection ( whatta joke !!! ) and some once in a while BS -type cursory inspection by the IAEA
so although iran underwent some sanctions they won big-time in the end
as for india , i dont think we should be "afraid" of international sanctions , when we were under british for 200 years , what was that ? wasnt that sanctions ? of the worst kind ?
but of course, no one expects that indian people want to pay that kind of a price just to get a land bridge to C Asian states ....so reluctantly i suppose the LOC will in effect be the IB
but i have always said the better way to handle pak is to give them back their own medicine , i.e. covert operation not only in balouchistan but also POK and indeed sindhudesh and saraikistan ( south punjab ) ...those aren't fairy -tale type desires of the peoples therein to have their own states
and so while overt operations might not be the preferred way , then unlike the previous goi, this present goi , if and when faced with another mischievous attack from packland, today's goi should go ALL-OUT but on covert ops and no dilly-dallying and no soft response like the previous goi .......so . . go HARD but covert .
in addition to that , the alternative to outright taking back of pok whose citizenry may actually prefer independence , is to do the covert stuff like what pack has been doing to us for the past 60 years, ( and china too, in the NE areas of india ,,,, but we will confine first to merely packland ) and it is not unreasonable that :-
pok could become independent, and like Bhutan, may choose to have india as their main defense partner ...that would be a pretty good alternative to incorporating them as part of us ?
