[🇧🇩] Chicken Neck/Siliguri Corridor

[Vikings]

They have border access to Sikkim, which (once breached) is less than 170 KM from the entire Siliguri Corridor.

It's only a question of time before they decide to breach it, a low-hanging fruit strategically (so to speak)..

Here are the images showing the distances involved in KM.

Map with Sikkim not shown as a state, it is in between Bhutan and Nepal and bordering China (Tibet) in the North.

The Chinese army will make a huge thrust into tiny Sikkim to access Siliguri Corridor to separate North-East from the rest of India. Siliguri Corridor is the only strategic vulnerability of India which could bring about its disintegration. Hope that answers your question.

Thanks both of you brothers! But I would like to know the take of @Old School bhai , so that others can learn more ( actually learn the reality) !

Thank you for making me a teacher ! lol. I will not reply until I see someone with some Pakistani/ Chinese/ Indian government work background is participating in these sort of threads.

@Old School bhai , of course you are a good teacher ( but for passionate students , who like to learn . People who always love arguments, can never learn anything from you, I know it too!) and I know it very well ; although I'm a very common civilian , but I sometimes can use my tiny brian ( partially though, not fully because I'm amateur in this case) , and most of time don't see the world and it's politics and regional politics as black and white.

So I honor your decision not to comment unless officials participating in such discussion.

I understand that learning surgery isn't possible without practical experience , and performing surgery requires lots of professional skills and dedication.

Military strategy is like the same , or perhaps more rigorous; other than professional experience it's very much understandable for me that others will have hard time understanding, or maybe even won't understand at all!

Other than professionals most people ( users ) not only can't wrap their head on such thing, but also will end up baiting flame because of their almost zero experience.

But all people should realise that the world isn't black and white as they love to think.


If common people can understand surgery or Military strategy , then why do we need surgeons to perform surgery and need Military strategist to make plans?

So yes again I honor your decision not to discuss on this matter on a public forum , unless professional Military strategists join and engage in such discussions.

Thanks again for your straightforwardness ! Best regards.

Nepal wants chicken neck to connect to Bangladesh. They call it land swapping. India rejects.

There was no doubt that India would ever agree though....Nepal's predicament is that although they are coreligionist Hindus just like majority of Indians and although Nepalese have free visaless travel and working rights in India, Indians have just as much suspicion for Nepalese foreign policy, as they do for that of Bangladeshis. Plenty of trust deficit.

India would never let Nepal grow as it has good relation with China. We want Nepal to use our sea ports but for that to happen Nepal needs to get transit right from India which is not going to happen anytime soon.

Once Hasina is gone, then we will have opportunity to reshape the relationship with India and use leverage to get what we want from India. For those who doubt it, there is plenty of leverage, we just have to use it tactfully.

If Didi wants to stand in the way - she will need to reconsider.

Will Hasina ever truly be gone, @Old School are you optimistic that she won’t leave nepotism behind?
