sometimes it seems like all of history just ends up being about a contest of strength. It's easy for posters like me to complain about human rights abuses and democracy and stuff but I kinda get where tankies are coming from. Your enemies will have no mercy so why should you?

So basically, should I just shed all of my ideology and get super into Indian nationalism, or Pakistani nationalism, or I guess Chinese nationalism?I'm open minded if anyone has better ideas.

the pakistani strategy for kashmir all the way up until the 1980s was the people's war

then they just changed leftist rhetoric with islamist ones and did the exact same thing

Not even that. Lowest homicide rate. Highest literacy rate. Lowest infant mortality rate. Lowest rate of homelessness. 4th lowest poverty rate in India behind 2 island states & Goa. It's a remarkable success story.

I was reading about the 1971 India Pakistan war the other day and this really seemed to come through. The USSR seemed to be the voice of reason and industrial development for both sides whilst the Kissinger-Nixon U.S was baying for millions of corpses and doing everything they could to prolong and intensify the conflict.

It's the other way around; the US needed the war to end immediately (because Pakistan would lose and was their ally in the region) and the Soviets wanted to see it through to completion (because they would dominate the region due to their close ties to India).

It's easy to get 1971 confused, because at the same time Pakistan was carrying out a genocide in Bengal.

They didn't seem ready to accept how outmatched Pakistan was for some time, and were pressuring anyone they could to donate arms and equipment to the Pakistanis, even dispatching a carrier group that arrived too late. If the Pakistani military hadn't completely collapsed the Nixon administration likely would have pushed for a longer conflict in the hopes of preserving Pakistan and weakening India.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Task_Force_74

quote:

On 6 and 13 December 1971, the Soviet Navy dispatched two groups of cruisers and destroyers and a submarine armed with nuclear missiles from Vladivostok; they trailed US Task Force 74 into the Indian Ocean from 18 December 1971 until 7 January 1972. The Soviets also had a nuclear submarine to help ward off the threat posed by USS Enterprise task force in the Indian Ocean.

Which wouldn't have done any good anyway as the Soviet Navy was sent as a counterbalance.

The northeast would probably just secede together since India's military with reserves is bigger than Nagaland's entire population

Is there a decent book about the history of communism in India? It seems weird that no big communist movement sprang up in western India seeing that places like Rajasthan are very industrial and Punjab is very agricultural.
