we are a small country, that too landlocked and surrounded by them, so our policies have to be dependable upon them to a great extent. Our trade, economy won't prosper without them, that's a bitter truth. Unfair 1950 treaty and the likes have a lot to do with our own leaders too. We did not have (still don't have) Nehru and Indira to compare their leaders vision and cleverness. I don't agree that they would be able to invade us at any time in the future, coz we have BIG china above us and that turns around the equation with india in our favor. so stop getting TERRIFIED.
