SAA reportedly gearing up for a counter-attack near Jisr ash-Shughur, Idlib.

correct me if im wrong but your president isnt elected directly right? and is mostly just a figurehead since your a parliamentary system? so that doesnt mean that much.

He's elected by parliment but he does have less power than the PM, but he does have significantly more pwoer compared to most other presidents in parlimentary systems. Still it indicates that India is an Indian Nationalist country that transcends religion.

especially not when ive heard that your current PM modi has genocided muslims in gujarat i think it was (sorry not familiar with the names of provinces). so considering that you could say that pakistan or saudi arabia or whatever muslim country could use your logic of "protecting x religious group" as an excuse to start turmoil in your country.

The 2002 riots were not instigated by Modi, and a court cleared absolved him of all blame. Pakistan can't even protect Ahmadis and Shia in its own country forget about other religious minorities, they have little reason to be worrying about problems in India when there are bomb blasts going off practically every other week.

As per Saudi, they don't claim to represent all Muslims. The group you are looking for that does is none other than ISIS so don't be to suprsised if they start blowing up things in China to save the "opressed" Uyghurs and Huis. Funny that a Chinese guy thinks Pan-Islamism to be a valid ideology.

also those tibetans have historically lived under Chinese nation systems. the qing dynasty usually included tibet for example. they are by nationality chinese. chinese isnt a race or ethnicity, its a nationality. han/canto/hui/uighur/etc are the ethnicities.

This is pretty fucking disrespectful to Tibetans, I've talked to Tibetan refugees in India at Mundgod, Karnataka and I highly doubt that any Tibetan sees themselves as Chinese. Ofc you'd think that given that Tibetans disagreeing with the PRC are tossed into jail for the rest of their lives. At least if you disagree with the government in India you usually don't get your organs harvested while you are in Jail.

Also, I guess since Inner Mongolians are by nationality Chinese according to you; you guys can go ahead and revers the Mongol inasions and take Mongolia too.

all in all, i'm just saying that india should stop having such an aggressive posture and trying to assert itself upwards into the territory of sovereign nations like us or pakistan or whatever. it would reduce tension in the subcontinent and would be beneficial for everyone involved. but its up to you and you just elected a warhawk for a president so im not too optimistic.

I'm all for settling the border disputes with Pakistan and China according to the status quo, most people in India would probably agree regarding settling with China over that (prob not with Pakistan tho). But, the Indian government is hardly aggresive compared to the PRC, it's really delusional. China does not have hegemony over South Asia, China's aggressive actions are actually causing Japan and India to move closer together.

but its ok. we are building a new port in pakistan i think and that will mean our navy surrounds you on both sides and now we have a fairly reliable proxy through pakistan. so if india continues an aggressive posture against China, it will pay for it

fairly reliable =/= Pakistan If the US has learned anything from its dealings with Pakistan its that the country is unstable and unreliable as fuck. Pakistan also is wisely worrying more about it's internal situation than India, thats admirable why would any Pakistani want the country to turn into a Chinese lap dog?
