India is the new USA proxy, Pakistan having lost that privileged by aligning with China, and Pakistan is the new China proxy. This will end badly for both of them. India will spend billions on military with huge armament upgrades from uncle Sam. It will get into conflicts it could've easily avoided and it will probably hurt its economy doing so in the long run. Only idiots become proxies of superpowers who don't have friends only interests. Chinese claim their plane was used to down the Indian plane. China will probably arm Pakistan to the brink as well. India will be dealing solely with Pakistan. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/military/article/2188196/did-pakistan-use-its-chinese-jf-17-jets-shoot-down-indian-planes https://www.scmp.com/news/china/military/article/2188196/did...

good thing is unca Sam doesn't have a monopoly for indian arms contracts. India's arms contracts are spread across Russia, France, Israel, USA. And quite a lot of indigenisation is in progress.

Forgive me for being so bold as to call you an utterly ignorant person, devoid of any ground realities of South Asian politics. If history is anything to go by, India has never been anyone’s proxy. Pakistan allowed its land to be used as military bases for US during wars and also peace times. They armed the Mujahideen’s to the teeth with assistance from CIA to wage proxy war against USSR. It’s a known fact that the most murderous terrorists in the world find safe havens in Pakistan, bin Laden being one among them. Furthermore, the top brass of military and ISI establishment is in cahoots with these terrorists. That sir, is what you call a proxy. Remind me of one instance where India allowed foreign powers to use its land or resources for anything that would serve a foreign powers purpose? I don’t know your allegiance but all of your comments are pro-Pakistani + Anti-India. As far as things ending badly is concerned, be rest assured, India is sensible enough to fend-off on its own. Ever since it’s independence it has managed to hold itself well in world politics, whereas Pakistan, if anything, has made a strong impression of warmongering + biggest terror exporting country.

  I don't have any allegiances, however Indians seem to come around and argue for how pure and forthright India is and anyone who is critical of both sides is pro-Pakistan which is bullshit. Indians for whatever historical reason are salty about all sorts of criticisms and try to justify everything to try to seem as if they could do no wrong. Pakistan similarly accuses India of sponsoring terrorism on its territory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulbhushan_Jadhav https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulbhushan_Jadhav Historically you are correct that India has not been a proxy. However, right wing Hindu nationalists may easily push it in that direction. It remains to be seen what actually happens going forward. But you can be sure that Israel has its own agenda which it's carrying out in India with the help of the current government and so does the US. Whether India succumbs to that, and it's obvious that this is happening because before this latest event India had not invaded Pakistan since the 1960s. So let me to be bold and say you are an ignorant person not paying attention to the realities of today and how they are not in line with the past.

    Sir, with all due respect, may I remind you how this all began? It was with a terror attack on 14th Feb, 2019. India decided to reprimand her west neighbour for harboring, and also for being hand in gloves, with these non-state actors. I don’t see how Israel or US gets involved in all this. As far as being a proxy to anyone, it’s the right wing Hindu nationalists who form the core team of resisting being party to any foreign powers vested interests. No way they will let this happen in the future.
