in India and a number of neighboring countries in border have had friction. We are more familiar with the dispute between India and Pakistan in the Kashmir region. The two countries are almost "fighting each other in a hurry." India has never relaxed on Kashmir. However, this situation may have changed recently.
According to Indian media, India suddenly wants to shift its military deployment focus from the border area with Pakistan to the India-China border and the Indian Ocean.
On the surface, it seems to be changing the primary frontline from Pakistan to China, but it may not be that simple. India may actually be guarding the United States. Because the U.S. stretches out more and more in the Indian Ocean, such as the "BECA Agreement" signed by the U.S. and India, this makes India feel uneasy. Therefore, India would rather divert its forces and devote more energy to staring at the United States.
India's transfer of military power
India and Pakistan's obsession with Kashmir is the source of the conflict between the two countries. Even when India is facing an epidemic and a locust plague, it has never given up its provocative behavior in Kashmir. India’s strategic focus in the past decades has always been the border area with Pakistan. However, it has changed now.
On November 1, the "Times of India" broke the news that India is moving its military and weapons from the border with Pakistan to the India-China border area and the Indian Ocean. Now, India and China have faced off at the border for seven months. Almost everyone believes that India's transfer of forces is to concentrate on dealing with China.
includes India's deployment in the Indian Ocean and is also in response to the Chinese navy. But there are also many doubts. For example, India has already deployed 200,000 troops on the Sino-Indian border and has invested a lot of weapons. Does it need to increase it? Or it is strange for India to divide its forces into the Indian Ocean because India has never loosened its influence on the Indian Ocean.
guard against the United States?
Is Xiangzhuang's sword dance intended for Peigong? Although India is pointing its sword at China, it is to guard against the United States. This speculation is also valid, because in October not long ago, the United States and India signed a "BECA agreement." In this agreement, the United States will control India's geographic and space use rights, in exchange for India to obtain the United States' GPS military rights.
This means that the United States can better control the Indian Ocean and strengthen its military influence over the Indian Ocean. And India's interests in the Indian Ocean will definitely be lost and even become a pawn. One of the most important sea lanes in the world, the Strait of Malacca is in the Indian Ocean. If the Strait of Malacca finally falls into the hands of the United States, India will definitely not please.
Although India is close to the United States on the surface, India has never given up its dream of being a great power. The United States is also one of the obstacles to the dream of a great power in India. Therefore, India used China's pretext to change the focus of military deployment to the Indian Ocean in order to guard against the United States. After all, it is one thing to deal with China. If the United States is allowed to seize the opportunity to make trouble in the Indian Ocean, then India will lose out.
