Cold war occurred after the end of world war second giving rise to two blocs Soviet union led communist block and U.S. led capitalist block.After partition India got closer to Soviet union & Pakistan became part of many Asian groups, keeping its doors open for both the blocs.Any move by UN on implementing of its resolution on Kashmir was vetoed by Soviet union (Thanks to its proximity with India).China felt betrayed after India facilitated meeting between Dalai lama and some U.S. officials which led to the 1962 war in which India lost badly. U.S. became worried about the vulnerability of India but U.S. was more closer to Pakistan than India and did not want to lose her for India.India imported its weapons from Soviet union & Pakistan imported its weapons from U.S. Indo-pak war of 1965 broke out. U.S. imposed sanctions on Pakistan leaving it in a state of starvation in terms of weapon arsenal Pakistan developed strategic alliance with China in order to counter its reliance on U.S Soviet union felt it was being encircled.It with the help of India managed to dis-member Pakistan with the creation of Bangladesh.Pakistan was left with no option but to get close to U.S. which had the capability of challenging Soviet. Pakistan became instrumental in disbanding Soviet union by facilitating guided insurgency with the help of U.S. in Afghanistan.After 9/11 U.S. resorted to same mistake that led to division of Soviet union by intervening in Afghanistan.Pakistan was forced to act as facilitator thanks to Bush doctrine Destined failure of U.S. in Afghanistan & their inability to dismantle ISIS has led to revival of cold war.Russia has began to defy which is clearly evident by its direct intervention in Syria Shattered by re-emergence of assertive Russia,U.S. have started to look for Old allies.Pakistan due to its strategic geographic location has regained its bargaining position To further improve its bargaining position Pakistan is displaying its capabilities of creating a Pakistan-Russia proximity.Russia has offered helicopters to Pakistan and has decided to have joint military exercises with Pakistan.
(Bottom line)The current emerging situation is anyone’s game but India claims about Pakistan being isolated is far from reality instead Pakistan seems to have taken edge over India due to its strategic geographical location in present circumstances.
