I've categorized policy options for India regarding Pakistan into three broad approaches: 1 - Tolerance: India lets Pakistan decline on it's own, perhaps using international organs to minimize collateral damage to India and aid Pakistan's descent into irrelevancy. 2 - Absorption: The most aggressive and common answer among Indians with a spine - outright annexation, likely through a costly war, and an occupation coming in two general strains - assimilation (not down by the govt. currently) or tolerance (something along the lines of J and K) 3 - Wishful thinking: A position dumb enough I doubt even Khangress would implement it - closest to the Tolerance option but enabling Pakistan to exist, albeit in a hobbled state, with aid from India. This option is so monumentally stupid only K2As, Commies and retarded Khangress babus would consider it.

>>3313 Will build this thread in coming days as a side project, drawing from historical examples, economics, geopolitics, sociology and political science. Look forward to the input of others. Think of this more as a mind game or fantasy exercise because all of this is happening in minecraft.

>>3312 What would you do differently than current GOI policy ?

This is a great book, easily available online. I ask all of your regardless of your beliefs to read it.

>>3312 Seems relevant to this thread.

>>3312 https://yewtu.be/watch?v=XO6AW3oJXa8 Iqbal chandra malhotra ji's books are excellent reads, but great interview too.

>>3353 I meant this one https://yewtu.be/watch?v=DrUoERWgijM Though both are great for this thread.

>>3313 Let them decline to irrelevancy and breaking up then gradually annex them

>>3312 Do not interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

>>3313 Tolerance won't work as Pakistan is China's zombie state Absorption wont work as Pakistan is China's Trojan Horse Wishful Thinking is afaik current policy

>>3752 Tolerance seems to be the option the BJP and Congress are actually united on. The main issue is getting the international community on India's side, which may be very tricky with India's close ties to Russia. China is a bad ally to have and I think their soft power weight is going to nosedive with the collapse of their economy. They'll be able to keep Pak on life support but loaning to an unstable defaulter is not productive - especially when your own country is facing a debt crisis. Especially with the Muslim world focused on Palestine, it seems ideal to take advantage of lower Islamic interest in Pakistan and heightened Western fears of Islam. Along with this, there are a few provinces in Pakistan that are far more open to Indians than others. Both Sindh and Baluchistan have a strong regional identity. Only Sindh is really relevant, and India should pump money into Sindhi identity and Sindhi economic movements. There will never likely be an armed resistance, but Sindh is capable of immense political pressure. Similarly, funding Pashtun militants might also be beneficial, but you would then have to deal with radicalized terrorists later on. I think the economic situation is going to worsen and the military will eventually usurp power completely again, implement limited reforms, and continue looting the taxpayer before fleeing to the West. Pakistani identity is entirely based on resenting India at this point.

>>3759 >>3752 Pakistan is at war with us, since and before 1947. Please, you made the thread. Read the Quranic concept of war. It is their bible. More importantly, the mind virus that prevails the Islamists, is more dangerous disease than the "nukes" that Pakistan has. China knows this. That is why they keep Pakistan at a distance, ban their people in China or treat them worst than diseased dogs. Try and understand more deeply, the socioeconomics of the common society of Pakistan. It is raubwirthschaft. They create nothing of value, only consume. They destroy fertile lands and eat away all the flaura and fauna, blame it on foreigners and invade them. When they cannot do that, they pimp themselves, their mothers, sisters and donkeys to outsiders. Firstly, admit they are enemies. Not because they are team A and you are team B. Because they are termites, who cannot coexist or let anything else exist. Because if they exist, they won't let you. Secondly, let them eradicate themselves. If not, then do it methodically. Both physically and ideologically. Whoever is killing the Pakis, is already doing a splendid job. We should concentrate on other neighbours. Interesting times in Nepal, Bangladesh, Maldives, Mauritius, Bhutan, Malaysia and Indonesia.

>>3762 tl;dr Islam is mind cancer. I think we are all aware of that by now. >Interesting times in Nepal, Bangladesh, Maldives, Mauritius, Bhutan, Malaysia and Indonesia. BD is having a resurgence of pro-paki/islamic sentiments that rival pre-independance era.

>>3762 I'm advocating the same strategy in Pakistan that Pakistan has taken with India. Fund separatist movements, encourage the breakup, absorb what's left. Can't share thoughts on Islam in my country right now.
