@queer

just to play the devil’s advocate here - is it really true that a stable pakistan is best for india? india has had more issues with kashmir, khalistan etc when pakistan was stable and prosperous, and its powerful army was free to channel and direct the fruits of afghan jihad at india. the hot afghan border relieves indian positions on the LoC and the border, many of which are just obscenely expensive to maintain for a country full of poor people.

the past decade has been good for india’s side of the border. the primary reason being the pakistani army’s inability to keep up pressure and push in the routine jihadis like in the 90s.

and definitely this is no long term solution. sooner or later it will come back and bite indians in the butt too. somewhere the vicious cycle has to stop. but i doubt it will happen anytime soon.

The cycle stops the day Kashmir is resolved in an amicable and just manner.
