While I don't have anything against India, they're coming off as delusional. It's a state that has an inflated view of itself, and, like Trump and the current version of the U.S., it wants every benefit and no responsibilities. India wants to be a neutral state, but it also wants to be a superpower at the same time, you can't do both. They want to play superpower games and throw around their weight, but when the heat gets turned up they'll run behind neutrality as if it will save them. When you're a small player with no enemies you can be neutral, when you have enemies, rivals, etc., you'll have to navigate the treacherous path of geopolitics and pick friends, allies, and learn to deal with adversaries.

This is true. It's always easy to blame the immigrants than to work on self improvement. This disease is not exclusive to white Western societies.
In Malaysia, too many from the Malay majority have that same mindset. After decades of enjoying generous affirmative action by the government, they still couldn't compete with the Chinese and Indians in business and the corporate world. They are so incompetent but demanding that they are also losing blue collar jobs to immigrants from South Asia and SEA. Now they blame the government for letting in too many immigrants for low collar jobs. They can't study hard enough to compete in business and professional fields. They can't be disciplined nor humble enough to work in blue collar fields. Yet the Malay supremacists are always demanding the government to confiscate business and properties from the non-Malays to distribute to them. Or they threaten to initiate pogroms. Entitlement and stupidity is unfortunately not only exclusive to the West.
I believe that's what China is doing right now. Taking full advantage of India's desperation to extract some level cooperation. At least while it lasts.
I would add that the Indians don't just hate China for the Sino-Pak alliance, it actually goes beyond that. The Indian elites and the Hindutvas think that they are the new colonial power in Asia after the Europeans. Their 1962 war predates the Sino-Pak border agreements and eventual alliance. The Indians have always wanted to colonize Xizang (Tibet), and have never let go of that delusion. To them China, like Pakistan is another powerful enemy nation who stands in their way to colonize South Asia and beyond.
The Indians will eventually turn on the Chinese again as soon as their Akhand Bharat ambitions reemerge. By that time, the Chinese will be more than ready to dump and punish them again.
I noticed no one is reporting this. Where's Reddit and their constant yapping about Taiwan Good, China bad? Bunch of cowards constantly talking before this but don't have the balls to remain after the results. Thats why I don't pay attention as much these days to such commentators coz they are simply cheerleaders with no real stake at hand.
India can try. Then it can return to its original form where it was balkanized. Its probably for the benefits of its own people as well as neighbours seeing how they cannot really stand each other under one country.
They keep talking about splitting China up forgetting their own country looks like this.
If India splits up back into several countries, some of them may become even more hostile to China.
A broken up India is a no longer a threat, cause they will mostly fight amongst themselves. Even if one portion is hostile, China's overwhelming military power will keep them inline.
Nothing a bit of divide on conquer can't solve. Its how China dealt with Mongols and the related people. Hell thats how everyone sort of dealt with India back in the day.
It might sound harsh but India hasn't exactly shown kindness towards China so there's no need to hold back when ball is in its court.
Also remember in this hypothetical scenario, India asked for it. It wasn't forced to make such decisions, yet it did so on its own free will. When you do this, you should be prepared to accept the possible negative consequences instead of trying to play victim even though you started the fight in the first place. Such a mentality is showing lack of responsibility.
