To maintain a good relationship with your neighbours is of paramount importance for the mutual existence of all in any region. If a country tries to attain absolute security, it indirectly leads to the increased insecurity of the neighbouring countries. Therefore, undoubtedly having a good international policy is of high value in the world arena.
As far as India is concerned, it has always been around the tough neighbors may it be Pakistan, Bangladesh or China. Ever since Indian mainland was divided into India and Pakistan, India has experienced unabated military treat from Pakistan. Pakistan claim of Muslim majority Kashmir can be one of the reasons for their vying attempts to acquire that part of India. Amid this commotion China infiltrated whenever possible to grab all they can along the boundary. They still claim a large part of land on the boundary area of eastern J&K, Arunachal Pradesh and recently highly irrational claim of Arunachal Pradesh itself. Well to be very frank it is the most unwarranted and gibberish claim I ever heard in my lifetime.
In Recent times things have not changed much. China becomes more adamant on their claims. Dalai Lama’s visit to Arunachal Pradesh attracted extra attention and serious point of contention. One good outcome was that PM, Manmohan Singh came out all guns blazing to clearly convey to China that the so called claimed land is the Integral Part of India and China Objection to Dalai Lama’s Visit was confronted with strong rational and truly diplomatic Statements.
Meanwhile, Pakistan was trying to conspire with the Taliban to get back what they believe was their land, Kashmir. Unfortunate to say, they were stung by terrorism with America talking the lead to wipe out what they believe is their right since 9/11 attack.. America made it clear to Pakistan that the real treat to Pakistan is not India but the Taliban inside. The fact is that, Pakistan will never agree to that truth but now things have changed a lot. Taliban now has turned against the state Pakistan which along with US is on a mission to eradicate Taliban and all other institutions of terrorism. Needless to say, Pakistan is in a big mess only time can say what it will get crafted into.
Military support given to Pakistan by US as a part of fight against terrorism is of high importance to India as the intelligence report suggests that these aids are more frequently used against India rather than Terrorist groups. US intention to wipe out terrorism from Pakistan and provide absolute security to Pakistan is of grave concern to India as more secure Pakistan with latest weapons in their inventory is utmost danger to India. History speaks volumes on this phenomenon that whenever Pakistan gets a Chance to Poke India it has never refrained from doing so. This means that India should beef up its arsenals to combat this psychology barrier.
Interestingly, China is also encapsulated by the same phenomenon. The recent stand of US to sell military weapons of latest types to Taiwan has created a row of argumentative confabulation between America and China. China contends that the increased military power of Taiwan is of utmost danger to China and has cautioned US of further weakening of relationship with it if US go further on with the sale.
Epitomizing, for harmony and peace to exist in a region, its not absolute or increased security of a every country that will contribute to the cause but a rational consensus among the countries of concern is the only solution.
