i am pretty sure u wont like this answer and itsnt worth the effort, but still i will answer it.\n\nis india afraid of pakistan??\nthe answer is yes\n\nwhy should not we be?? the country has got a nuke. the country is ruled by its military.  next change may bring in religious fundamentalists to power,\nso why should not we be afraid.\n\nunlike pakistan we cant allow our citizens to be killed by another country(as the usa continuously raids targets inside pak and keeps on killing their citizens)\n\nwe are not foolish enough to send our soldiers to a war which is not necessary(which we can win in the end) and loose their precious lives.\n\nif u take the above factors into consideration yes we are afraid.\n\nu know i was always weak at history but seems u never even studied it!!\n\ncan u please enlighten me which war ended in equality\n\n1948:- when india gained control of kashmir\n\n1965- when pakistan had to run around in the world to find a negotiator\n\n1971- when 90000 of ur soldiers surrendered to our army and needless to mention u lost east pakistan\n\nnow we come to kargil\n\nfirst of all can u kindly tell me whether it was pakistani military in kargil or just mercenaries.\n\ni am not disagreeing with u when u say that it was pakistani army.\n\nits just that the govt of pakistan didnt have the guts to acknowledge those people as its soldiers.\n\npakistan is really a very strong country one which cant even claim back the bodies of its soldiers and give them decent burial.\n\nif pakistan is really so strong then why does it have to send its soldiers in disguise,\n\ni mean 1948:-tribals who somehow had mortars\n\n1999:-mercenaries who somehow had got hold of pakistani army identification.\n\ni am gonna skip the china part thats another story\n\ni am not hoping for a best answer but if u think it is worth it i will only be too glad   ;)

India has refused to follow the mandated UN ordered plebiscite and has not agreed to any of the possible peace solutions.  For a good explanation of the conflict please see my source.

China has taken Tibet and also has occupied Indian lands. \nIndia that time was a country without any defence preparation. The imperialist-communist nation China had plans to to anex the Himatalya teritory so that any entry from South shall be permanently blocked. They killed thousands of innocent people in Tibet and tortured the religious heads with extreme cruelty.

First things first-they need to make India a permanent UNSC member.We have the world's third largest military,a booming economy,a stable governemnt and our soldiers have laid down their lives in almost every U.N peacekeeping operation from Sierra Leone to Sri Lanka.It's about time India (one of the original members of the UN-we joined in 1945-before we were even independent) got the recognition it deserves.

they made food for the guys who fought for freedom!\n--x--\nj/k\n\nWomen played a pretty role in India's freedom. I would not say that they played a major role. Peoplel like Sarojini Naidu, Rani Jhansi, etc fought bravely at places where even guys would chicken out for the freedom of their country and their people. Now, the thing is:- DO YOUR OWN FRICKIN RESEARCH

Propaganda War....haha...get your facts straight here, and no UN or Russia was involved in anything of this:\n\nPhases of the War in Bangladesh\nThe war is considered to have 4 phases:\n\nPhase 1: March 25 to June\nOperation Searchlight was launched by Pakistani forces on the 25th of March. There was Spontaneous and disorganized resistance from the Bengali soldiers and volunteers. Surprise and superior firepower helped the Pakistani forces overwhelm the disorganized Bengali resistance in conventional warfare by June. Pakistan airlifted 2 infantry divisions and reorganized their forces. Bangladesh Government in Exile was formed in April 17 at Mujib Nagar, the country was divided into 4 sectors to conducted the war.\n\nPhase 2: June-September\nBangladsh forces command setup in July, with MAG Osmani as commander in chief. Bangladesh was devided into 11 sectors with 11 sector commanders to conduct Guerrilla operations. 3 brigades were raised for conventional warfare, a large guerrilla force was trained. Guerrilla operations, which slacked during the training phase, picked up. targets in Dhaka was attacked. The major success story was Operation Jackpot, in which naval commandos mined and blew up berthed ships in Chittagong on August 16, 1971. Pakistani repraisals claimed lives of thousands on civilians. Indian army took over supplying the Mukti Bahini from the BSF. They organised 6 sector for supplying the Bangladesh forces.\n\nPhase 3: October - December\nBangaldesh conventional forces attacked border outposts. Kamalpur, Belonia and Battle of Boyra are a few examples. Guerrilla attacks intensified, as did Pakistani and Razakar repraisals on civilian populations. Pakistani forces were reinforced by 8 battalions from West Pakistan. The rebels even managed to temporarily capture airstrips at Lalmonirhat and Shalutikar.Both of these were used for flying in supplies and arms from India.\n\nPhase 4: December3 -December 16\nPakistani armies were gradually being disorganised due to the sudden and quick guerrilla attack by the bengali freedom fighters in most of the areas.the former east pakistan,being covered by condensation of trees crisscrossed by lots of streamlines and rivers,was quite uncomfortable for the Pakistani armies to defend the local Mukti Bahini Freedom Fighters.pakistani armies were in a dreadful condition and gradually were losing the will to fight because most of their major fortresses had fallen viciously by the allied Bengali-indian forces.It was a matter of shame for the Pakistani High Command that a well-trained army was losing the war to the common Bengali civilians merely trained and having outdated weapons. To conceal this shameful matter they launched air-attack about Indian border on 3rd of December so that the real facts remain unknown to the common people and people would say that Pakistani army didnot lose to Bengali Freedom Fighters but to more powerful Indian armies. This led India to announce war against Pakistan officially and they started attacking near Pakistan-India borders from the 6th of December. All out war between Bangladesh-India and Pakistan began , the agility and couragious war-strategy of the Mukti Bahini, aided by Indian forces, overwhelm the Pakistanies and within 10 days after\nIndia has joined the war, the Pakistan army was compelled to an unconditional surrender on the 16th December,1971. Pakistani\nforces surrender on the 16th of December with 93490 soldiers. \n\nThe surrender in East Pakistan was a tragic blow to the\nPakistanis. By the act of meek surrender Pakistan stood dismembered, and the image of the Pakistan Army as an efficient and excellent fighting force stood shattered.

It is not that indians are been killed in Afganistan,it is that foreigners those are been killed in there.so the govt of india should not indulge in the developemnt of any other nation,while you have not been proficient in solving ur own problems of the country.I'm a true liberalists and i know the psychology of the most of islamic states, they do want development they want distruction b'coz their god says to do this.'Allah' is the only god in this world n the followers of Mohommaden only should florish, others whould die,n die strictrly.So they r killing.Don't help them.Help urself.It is easier to wake up the slept man,n equally difficult to wake up those unslept.

India is no little child that needs to suckle on America's tit!\nWe are quite capable of taking down Pakistan on our own,we did it without the US three times.Let Iran join the fight for kashmir,i doubt they have any reason to.\nKasmir is an issue that goes back to the time of independence for both the nations (India and Pakistan).\nWe are neighter liable to the US nor are we its lap dog.\n\nThe Indian government stated that the US need not interfear with intimate Iranian matters of state.The US swiftly acted on that descision as irrational and threatened to stop US investmenst in India.India has always been a follower of NAM (Non alligned Movement).\nWhich is a safety stand for a developing nation.We get oil form Iran and we have never had bad ties with any muslim nation other than Pakistan,we want to keep that track record straight.Its easier to do business that way.\nIndia should in no way be a subject to bullying and we wont.

It all depends on the monarch, the previous one was allied to both India and Pakisthan so he couldnot support any of the nations but the current one has publicly embraced his support of India.\n\nIt's a matter of personal preference, friendship

Pakistan has been an active member in the ABSG <Against ‘Buttercup’ Society of Giraffes> the CENTO <Creepy Egocentric Narcissus Tope Organization> and the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO). Pakistan is also an important member of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) <other wise referred to as the Anti-South Park militia>. Pakistan has used the Anti-South Park militia as a forum for Enlightened Moderation [3], its plan to promote a take a rain check and elucidation in the Islamic world. Besides the Anti South Park militia, Pakistan is a member of the South Asian union of SAARC. The Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) <also known as whoa daddy got some deep pockets> is another major regional organization seeking to promote socio-economic development. Pakistan's status as the only Islamic nation to be a declared nuclear power plays a significant role in international affairs.\n\nForeign relations with the United States have seen as a roller coaster <which has killed many> throughout the history of Pakistan. In the early 1950s, Pakistan's leaders called the country the United States "most allied ally in Asia"[4]. During the Soviet-Afghan war in the 1980s and following the September 11 attacks, Pakistan remained a crucial ally. However, between crises relations have soured with sanctions being applied by the United States, once during the 1965 war with India and again following Pakistan's nuclear tests in 1998.\n\nPakistan has had difficult relations with neighboring arch-rival India with the two countries fighting three wars <after the large migration of Irish Workers impregnated their women and introduced Pakisanians to green beer> and coming to the verge of a nuclear war <like we need more halaback girls right???> on other occasions. The long-running border dispute over Kashmir resulted in war in 1947 and 1965. A third war <we now introduce the Russian’s with their Vodka> was fought alongside the Bangladeshi Liberation War in 1971. India's decision to conduct nuclear tests in 1998 immediately prompted Pakistan to test its own.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan#Foreign_relations

If India was suddenly elected to the UN Security Council, Pakistan would have a fit. May I remind you both of these countries have nuclear weapons.

India is more powerful than Pakistan in terms of military might. India has almost double the manpower and combat equipment as a previous poster has pointed out. But today, military might cannot be solely measured in terms of numbers. There are more factors that come into play.\nFor eg: Though India has a very large military, they have 3 hostile borders to defend (Pakistan, China and Bangladesh). So its large army's resources are stretched. Even if there's a conflict with Pakistan, India just cannot afford to dedicate its entire army to the conflict, it still has to maintain reasonable force levels at the Chinese and Bangla borders. Pakistan on the other hand, can dedicate almost all resources to the conflict with India. Iran and Afghanistan are not about to invade them from the other side and the Chinese are their best pals. They even share nuclear weapons technology clandestinely. So you see how..... though India's military is larger, Pakistan can match them almost equally if you consider the above.\nNow lets look at another angle.... the economies! Here, India wins hands down. Their economy can sustain a war for much longer than Pakistan. Pakistan just does not have the resources to withstand and sustain a war effort for long. If the Indian Navy were to blockade Karachi harbour, Pakistan would probably run out of oil within a month.\nAnyways, there are just too many such factors. If you look at the overall picture, India will still win any conflict with Pakistan... but eventually... as in, it may not be a cake-walk.
