Is India ready for a two front war?

Possible scenarios for conflict between India, Pakistan, and China include surprise attacks, military exchanges, and heated arguments at the Line of Actual Control (LAC). These situations could lead to various strategies and responses from each nation. Historically, Pakistan's decisions have been influenced by its relationships with China and the United States.

In the event of conflict, Pakistan's actions are likely to be shaped by considerations such as its reliance on U.S. military equipment and economic ties with the United States and Saudi Arabia. Direct military involvement risks jeopardizing these relationships and facing economic repercussions.

One potential scenario involves Pakistan activating its assets in India to initiate terrorist attacks, thus avoiding direct military engagement while still supporting China. However, such actions would likely be met with swift and comprehensive responses from India, including invoking emergency measures, bolstering security forces, and utilizing diplomatic ties to counter external support for terrorism.

In scenarios where China and Pakistan coordinate attacks, India would prioritize defending against the primary threat, likely focusing on the Chinese front due to its strategic significance. In such a situation, India's geographical advantages, specialized military units, and established infrastructure provide it with tactical advantages, particularly in mountainous terrain.

To counter potential Chinese aggression in the North East, India may leverage alliances with regional partners like Bhutan, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. Additionally, deploying naval assets and utilizing air and missile strikes could help deter and neutralize threats to India's territorial integrity.

In response to potential naval distractions by China, India could leverage its own naval capabilities and strategic partnerships to maintain control over critical sea routes and ports, thus safeguarding its economic interests and countering Chinese maritime influence.

In any conflict scenario, India would also utilize diplomatic channels to garner international support, impose sanctions on aggressor nations, and potentially engage in cyber and biological warfare as part of its defensive strategy.

Ultimately, India's approach to conflict would prioritize the protection of its sovereignty and national interests, as articulated by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's commitment to peace with readiness for decisive action when necessary.
