1947 India's independence not only forcibly incorporated India into the national territory, but also inherited the unequal treaties between Britain and its neighbors (the British fought in India for hundreds of years, which suddenly made India, a colonized and enslaved colony, a regional power that had never appeared in the South Asian subcontinent. The regional forces enslaved by colonialism actually don't count. After independence, India occupied a part of Kashmir, dismembered Pakistan, hanged Portugal to occupy Goa, annexed Sikkim, coerced neighboring countries to sign unequal treaties, turned Bhutan and Nepal into their own vassals and sent troops to Sri Lanka. More shamelessly, it used the McMahon Line illegally drawn by its British colonial father as an excuse to invade China, southern Tibet and other lands. After independence, India, once colonized and enslaved,

India's imperialist behavior has greatly benefited India, so Indians are superstitious about force. This is because India has frantically used a small amount of foreign exchange to buy foreign advanced equipment regardless of the actual domestic situation and people's food and clothing. It is impossible to spend tens of billions of dollars on equipment, while India's foreign exchange reserves are almost only 362.8 billion dollars (according to the data of 2065438+February 2007, China's is 300565438+ billion dollars).

India looks so poor, where does India get the money to buy weapons and equipment? After India's independence, weapons and equipment have always relied on second-hand goods eliminated by the British founding father. Later in the cold war, India was well-off and received a lot of military assistance from the Soviet Union. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, India had to spend money to buy it. India's industrial level is backward and its export capacity is weak. To earn foreign exchange, it exports food. You know, India has a population of/kloc-0.3 billion. India, with a population similar to that of China, produces almost half as much food as China, and exports a large amount of food. It is the world's number one rice exporter (China produces almost twice as much food as India, but it is one of the largest food importers in the world), while India's hunger index is higher than that of North Korea, which is somewhat inevitable. In addition, overseas investment and remittance are another important source of foreign exchange for India. Many Indians overseas remit more than10 billion dollars to India every year, but obviously these are not enough to support India's dream of strengthening the military. Therefore, loans have become the way for the Indian military to "take off". After the financial tsunami in 2008, a series of EQs in the United States made it easy to borrow money, so India borrowed money crazily. According to statistics, India's total debt reached $65,438 +0.4 trillion. It is not difficult to borrow so much money and spend tens of billions on weapons and equipment, but the difficulty lies. If you borrow money, you have to pay it back. What is the interest rate of up to 8%? It is said that India's annual loan interest accounts for 26% of the budget (most of the education funds in developing countries account for about 4% of the budget), and India is in dollar debt.
