I don’t see anybody as our friends, let alone the Pakistanis. It’s why I have no use for anyone peddling Akhand Bharat rubbish and why I think Jinnah should be as much our hero for creating Pakistan (violence following the partition being very regrettable even if inevitable). I’m merely looking at any action by the Pakistanis in terms of whether or not it is useful for us. Any fight internally in Pakistan which pits militant groups against the state is good for us with a preferred outcome of a state win. I’m very clear about that. If the Pakistani state is fighting radical religious militant groups, the preferred long term outcome is the upper hand of the state. Pakistan isn’t Ike Syria or Libya or indeed Afghanistan where we have some luxury of distance. What happens there will have some interest to us.
Secondly, the attack on primarily Punjab based religious groups will put the Pakistani state in some disarray and will force its hand, one way or the other. Popcorn time for us now but fingers crossed.
India can and has the ability to stop any spillover if things turn for the worst due to civil war like situation in pak.
The fact that people are even a little bit worried about it points to failure that collectively as a state our hearts aren't made of onyx such that we can make such decisions which will ahem 'incentivize' their people not to try and crossover towards our border.do you think the chinese would allow such a mess into their land,they would enact any measures they want and give a finger to the so called 'international' community and all its subsidiary tendrils.we live in the age of automated machine guns and drones and all kinds of miniature sensors.
We must think offensively and not defensively or pessimisticly .enact military and coercive measures at the border to nullify any border crossing events,make examples of invaders and show it on television along with political messages subtly or sometimes overtly saying that you will gunned before you reach our heartland.the refugees can enrich any other country for all I care.have a haughty and agressive attitude like china and make it known through our actions and speeches.if people build a perception of you as weak,then arrive to change it.
And by the way the pak state and 90 percent of it awam are jihadis or jihadi supporters as far as we are concerned.these guys would cooly enact anti dharmic and anti bharat policies,there is no good guy in pak to be rescued except for the minute dharmic population.
