India had hoped that after partition, both nations will progress in peace. But Pakistan caused many problems, which made the relations bitter between both countries. In 1947, 1965 and 1971, due to Pakistan’s aggressive stance, three wars were fought in which Pakistan had to face defeat time and again, yet due to its feelings of enmity, its illegal entry and terrorist activities have been going on. Besides making the border security weak, it is increasing its relations with India’s neighbours.
In the decade of 1980-90, Pakistan got economic aid and military equipment from USA and China. These two countries with the aim to control Soviet expansionism in South Asia, are supplying modem anti-tank missile, F-15, F-16, F-16c advanced fight jets. All these are causing worry to India because China also cannot be trusted.
Similarly, China-Pakistan economic corridor has main importance in the relation of China and Pak but it has been opposed by India because it is passing through Pakistan occupied Kashmir. According to fresh news, Pakistan can take nuclear submarines from China. Besides, on Gwadar Port, Pakistan has allowed the setting up of Chinese naval base.
In establishing democracy in Nepal, Pakistan supported it. Besides, it is developing its relations with it. Pakistan also supported in maintaining monarchy in Nepal. In 1982, trade agreement was made between both countries.
Pakistan has trade and diplomatic relations with Sri Lanka and Myanmar because Pakistan exports military equipment on a large scale and gives military training to them in the north east of India, there are China in north, Myanmar in east, in South Sri Lanka and in west, Pakistan is there.
Thus Pakistan is moving on the policy to seize India from all sides. Consequently, on India, there is a pressure of immense defence expenditure.
