What I see happening is a diabolical plan to keep the ONE thing that would frustrate Axis plans from happening, namely, India's increasing distancing of Russia and adoption of the US - UK et al alliance as her primary partner. It's as if Vijpayee has been bitten by the same bug which caused George W. Bush to look into Vladimir Putin's eyes and see a soul, real or imagined. I believe most of the impetus for this seeming Sino - Indian thaw came, SIGNIFICANTLY, from the Chinese side. Meanwhile, Pakistan have undertaken a new effort to further "befriend" the US. Anything to keep the US and India apart. Of course, once India has served her purpose for the Axis, she'll be stabbed in the back and then discarded.

Agreed...and the exact premise of the Dragon's Fury Series.
