ISLAMABAD: The former Chief of India’s Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) has sparked a heated debate by addressing the longstanding US favoritism towards Pakistan.

He claims this bias stems from historical political alignments and past conflicts between these nations.

The ex-chief noted that from 1947, the US continued British policies of aligning more closely with Pakistan.

According to him, India’s socialist stance and non-alignment during the Cold War were seen unfavorably by the West.

During the 1965 and 1971 wars, he cited instances where the US supported Pakistan against India.

His statements come amidst ongoing strategic negotiations in South Asia.

Pakistan’s lobbying efforts with figures like former President Trump were highlighted as part of their continued diplomatic maneuvering.

He pointed out Pakistan’s role in facilitating dialogues in regional conflicts as a reason for their stronger US ties.

This revelation has intensified discussions about Indo-US relations in diplomatic circles.

Experts believe that the US perception of India as politically dubious may have contributed to this favoritism.

The former chief’s comments reflect a thread in the complex web of South Asian geopolitics.

Analysts are now examining the current implications of this historical relationship on modern-day diplomacy.

This discourse around US favoritism could impact ongoing strategic partnerships in the region.

The unfolding dynamics raise questions about future diplomatic alignments and their implications for India and Pakistan.

This is a developing story, and further insights are expected as global geopolitical interactions evolve.
