India Asserts Its Role in the Indian Ocean

India’s ailing strategic policy in Central Asia | East Asia Forum

Listen you angry nerd I provided two links to backup what I claimed- That India has in fact a base Tajikistan.

Feel free keep spouting verbal diarrhoea from your keyboard, I am not in the business of entertaining fools.

You call that proof of a base? Show a single indian government source that says you have any deployed air assets in Tajik, if you have no knowledge of the events then keep your loud mouth shut.

China and India in Central Asia: A New "Great Game"? - Google Books

It says 150 IAF personnel are posted in Tajikistan at any given time.
And heres the clincher

India is constructing three hangars at Ayni, two of which will be used by Indian aircraft. India will station about 12 MiG-29 bombers there. The third hangar will be used by the Tajik air force. The Indian Air Force (IAF) is also stationing trainer aircraft under a 2002 defense-cooperation agreement whereby India has been training the Tajik air force.

Neither New Delhi nor Dushanbe officially admits to an Indian air base at Ayni. Delhi maintains that it is only renovating this base.

Since Pakistan does not allow India overland access to Afghanistan, India has had to channel its economic and relief assistance to Afghanistan through Farkhor. The IAF airlifts supplies to Ayni, which are then transported to Farkhor and onward to Afghanistan by road.

India has come under pressure over Ayni Air Base from an unexpected quarter - Russia, its friend of several decades during the Cold War years. Russian arm-twisting seems to have resulted in India agreeing to joint maintenance with Russia of Ayni Air Base. While economic consideration might have played a role in India considering joint maintenance of the base, arm-twisting seems to have forced the decision.

Read this and weep.

Still waiting for that proof, just show one official source to confirm that India has a working base in Tajikistan. You can't because it doesn't, india stopped using Tajikistan to supply the NA ages ago...all you can do is yep yep.

I always wondered, when China was offered bases, or had intentions, the Chinese netizens were always against it on the bases of too expensive, which obviously influenced decision.

After thinking about it, India really have no frames of reference to what well off is, Bangladesh, and Pakistan are both poorer and even tries to go into India.

While China has rich neighbors like Japan, Korea, Hong kong and Singapore, which puts the government into a very awkward situation, where any funds used for external purposes is going to make the government look bad, when there are still plenty of people not well off.

India does not posses any military base outside India & we would like to continue that policy
