Just a little correction, credit goes to pmukherjee for post #28.
Again, you are correct, armies do plan for the worst case scenario - "Plan for the worst, hope for the best". Also like you say, our peers Russia and China will probably not get involved in a conflict between India and Pakistan but will certainly try to influence it.
What me and pmukherjee are trying to say is that India's long term ally, Russia is no longer the power that it was in the 80's and 90's. The relationship between India and Russia now seems to be more of a equal "partnership". PAK-FA project is a testament to this. We need their systems and they need our funding, it works perfectly well. However the relationship between China and Pakistan is different. China sees Pakistan as a strategic asset and Pakistan looks to China for help on the international stage. With both countries sharing a hostile history towards India, wouldn't you say that it's only natural that India builds up her defences against both her adversaries seeing as Russia is no longer the force that it was?

Even u ppl r increasing u r assets , then why afraid ..No problem. All I am saying is that by doing so you raise the threat level and we should respond to defend ourselves - I wish there were better ways. But when you raise additional strike forces (though planned 16 years ago) I should be able to enhance my defence capability. That is why I totally agree with the author of this article.
Your arguments seem to suggest that while India can raise additional forces, Pakistan and China should not feel concerned - Why
Even after recruiting 100,000 troops India still would be THIRD largest military! And country as small as North Korea has nearly 2 million troops! [active,reserve and paramilitary combined]??. This is article is bollocks!
Khan A. Sufyan is a Lahore-based defence analyst.
I just stopped caring there!
Why Delhi-based analysts are better than Lahore based ones. You are not a neighbour of North Korea, though I sincerely wish that you were.
I never said Delhi based analysts are better or Lahore based are not! It just means that this article would be bit biased.
It's not about being neighbour?! It's still a threat to the world?! Or specially countries like South Korea [which is an ally of countries like US, Japan and India]?
And okay let's talk about pakistan now. 'Pakistani Armed Forces have approximately 617,000 personnel on active duty, 513,000 in reserve and 304,000 in its paramilitary forces giving a total of almost 1,451,000 personnel.'
And India has 4.6 million troops combined! So tell me, country like Pakistan has nearly 1.5 million troops [which is 1/3 of India's total troops.] whereas Pakistan's population is 8-9 times less than that of India's?
So be frank and tell me. Which country is more aggressive?!

The article also says that in all previous wars India pulled out majority of these forces from Chinese front and used them against Pakistan. Which means 100,000 more Indian offensive troops would now be available to be used against Pakistan. So whereas, you are not going to fight against the Chinese as they have the capability to use even larger forces against India, you'd use these against Pakistan. And that is what we in Pakistan need to prepare against. So we will also increase our defensive capability to kick Indian posteriors.
Whats your problem with that
wow man u hav lots of brains!! (joking)
on a serious note, has any one asked u wat u are going to do.do wateva u wanna do and let indians do wat they want with their resources n military

Good suggestion. The please tell your people not to shout unnceccessarily against Pakistan also. Dont expect that it is only India that has the right to blame others and others only have to remain on the listening end. This is Pakistan and not Bhutan or Hasina Wajid from Bangladesh who just say yes lord - we will pay you back in kind unless you learn to respect us. Period.
with each other!!
