Most of Europes pharmaceutical drugs are sourced from India these days. India is crucial for Russia to launder its oil to circumvent EU sanctions. India is a huge producer of a lot of other things. An all out war would likely also involve a lot of cyber warfare which would affects the large IT outsourced to India and will likely hit a lot of “bystanders”. China might use the weakness of India to move up in its border conflict with them…
India and Pakistan represent about 15-20% of the global population. This absolutely has the potential to draw other powers in.
I did not say anything about Pakistan except that the narrative that they would all be terrorists is bullshit. Modi’s government is actively sowing hatred and disinformation against Muslims and they are very different from previous Indian governments. Also Muslims are not the only people persecuted by the Indian government. There was a high profile assassination of a Sikh in Canada initiated by the Indian government in 2023. Sikhs and Muslims have been subject to Pogroms in India repeatedly and the current government is actively escalating tensions to initiate riots and pogroms.
So the narrative of “terrorists” has to be seen in that context.
