The main problem with a broken up India is that instead of one nuclear-armed power, we end up with many nuclear-armed powers. India by itself is pretty predictable, and despite its numerous border clashes and short wars, we can be confident that these nuclear weapons will never be used. With multiple smaller nations, this is much less certain and the chance of nuclear conflict becomes much higher.

Fear of nuclear proliferation cannot be the reason China allows India with 1.4 billion hostiles to exist. India's superpower delusions ensure they will continue to be a huge threat to China. Its too big and if it gets good at anything, it will be a huge threat.

Nuclear risks can be managed by heavy international pressure to supply all the nukes to only one state. This is how it was done with soviet union breakup. It can be done again.

I couldn't find the best thread for this so I post it here.

I realized two things:

Military and business should not mix or at least keep stuff at arm's length


Market Capitalization is probably gonna go the way of bad metrics. The amount of overvalued companies that have little fundamental value is getting out of hand. I know we crap on HAL but yet look at it's market cap! Investors are high on its "potential" hence they keep throwing money at it. It's even high than the company that made rafales!

Deadly accident by an illegal immigrant trucker in America.

The trucker was an illegal immigrant. Yet he somehow got a commercial vehicle license and was employed by a trucking company. He made an illegal U-turn on a freeway with his semi truck and killed 3 people.

His village in India thinks that his possible 45-year jail sentence is too harsh.

It was reckless driving that had resulted in deaths. Maybe in India, this is not such a big deal. But in America, lives are not as cheap.

There are loads of bad India drivers. I don't know why this one is going viral. But it's enough to have a real effect this time.

I think what makes it worse is the lack of remorse. The cam footage showed the driver had no reaction after running over some people. Then there is literally a petition online right now by Indians trying to plead for leniency on punishment for an illegal driver who literally killed people due to negligence. Like such demonstration of tribalism when people are already in bad moods due to bad job economy etc isn't going to sit well. When China was rising, western economies for the people were a lot better so people could turn a blind eye more. That sort of generosity isn't there anymore.

It's hard to say if anything will come of this. But this could be one of those moments that would contribute to being the straw that breaks the camel's back with regards to Indian relations.
