If they want to learn how to invade successfully they'd be better learning from their British friends

Late to the party but how about Operation Polo or the Siachen conflict? Genuine question here, I don’t know anything about India.

Did that happen before India’s independence and founding as a nation in 1947?

Well, after founding, most countries haven't invaded their neighbours

That’s the whole point of my original comment, that India has not invaded another sovereign country since its founding in 1947.

I mean that was the exception, not the norm. I don't think there was any other dynastic in all of Indian history that had led massive invasions anywhere outside the subcontinent.

India although have annexed its state of Goa though. But that was when Portuguese were not ready to let it go

throawayacc1984 t1_ixtnljb wrote

Goa was a colony, its people were fighting for freedom, and india only intervened after the dictator of Portugal flat out refused to even discuss granting independence to Goa.

Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ, everyone is going on about Goa as if it’s a sovereign country.

>bangladesh

Intervention to stop a genocide that too only after west pakistan attacked India first.

>sikkim

Referendum

>Goa

Emancipation of a colony after Portugal refused to grant freedom.

>pakistan

Dude Pakistan is the one who's started every single one of the wars! Even neutral sources agree on this.

>kashmir

Pakistan invaded kashmir first, and the Indian military only entered kashmir after the king signed the instrument of accession, thus legally making kashmir a state in the Indian union.

>china

Is that supposed to be a joke? China is the one who invaded Tibet in the first place! They were the ones who then invaded and captured parts of the state of Arunachal pradesh, claiming it as a part of South Tibet.

I wasn’t aware Hyderabad and Goa weren’t located in India. /s

Exotic_Conclusion_21 t1_ixr71u0 wrote

Quit down voting me for 0 reason. Portugal owned Goa, making it Portuguese land which was in fact a sovereign nation. Hyderabad was an independent princely state for aprox a year before India took it. Both were not owned by India, but India invaded both and conquered both. Also, imo the intervention in Sri Lanka as well as east pakistan(bangladesh) were both invasions as well.

Define “invaded”. They have done expeditionary actions in the Maldives, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. None of them were long-lasting invasions, but two of them resulted in regime changes - albeit popular ones.

We liberated bangladesh when they were being buttfucked by pakis and ur beloved USA under Nixon and Kissinger was supporting that genocide .

Indian armed forces were in Dhaka when pakis surrendered . We have given their freedom how many other countries wud have done that

Unprompted military aggression against another country, not in response to that country’s military actions against India or neighboring country.

Hope that helps!

throawayacc1984 t1_ixpfugg wrote

1)India intervened in Bangladesh on the request of the Mukti bahini to stop the ongoing genocide, and that too only after west pakistan attacked India first, so it's not an invasion.

2)Indian intervention in Sri Lanka also only happened after the sri lankan government asked india to intervene, so again not an invasion.

Five__Stars t1_ixpuq7a wrote

You can think whatever you want about it and that's your right but it was internationally recognised as Portugese territory and therefore from a technical standpoint it was an invasion. I'm not making any pretense on the righteousness of that move.

Nah it’s not that complicated. Türkiye is extremely complex but India is much less so. They like cheap energy so they’re friendly with Russia. Russia also supported them with UN vetoes since the West sided with Pakistan. Nowadays the West is much more friendly with India. I can’t imagine how the West can easily operate without India. Their main reason for doing this is to ward off any possible Chinese threats.

Ya, not sure what India's interests are in fighting Russia anyway. Russia is supplying them with their oil. In fact, October saw an all-time high of imports of Russian oil to India. It is not in India's interest to fight Russia.

This is nothing to do with Russia though?

>“We will have the three nations to do military cooperation and maneuver in the Indo Pacific in the years to come. So you will see more of Germany in this region, because our government policy sees this as an area of an area of tension. This is because of the self confident China, which concerns us and should worry us, and because of the Indo Pacific, Germany will be present more around this region,” he adds

There’s two threats: China and Russia. Europe and US are part of NATO, so Russia isn’t really a threat per se. But China is actually a threat, with its huge economy and military. India is nowhere near Europe. This whole military exercise will be to better prepare for China, not Russia. The Indo-Pacific region. So I still don’t understand your point with “It is not in India’s interest to fight Russia”.

I just don’t think that the quote implies they’re looking at Russia only. To me, it says “we got a wake up call with that Russian invasion, so now we’re going to look at our defence relations.” And it doesn’t make sense to talk about expanding relations in the Indo-Pacific and the threat that China poses, if it was just about defending against Russia. Oh well
