China's move and extensive deployment of naval and civilian forces presence at the Gwadar port is a further indication leading one to conclude its real intention and that is to encircle India from all sides.  It is true that China has invested lot of money to develop Gwadar port to cut cost of its cargo movement from one corner to another, but that is not the only reason China got involved in that project.  The real intention relates to its strategic military objective to bring its naval and military forces as closer as possible to the Indian territory.  I am not sure how much Pakistan will benefit from this project as far their economy is concerned, but the presence of Chinese forces in Pakistan definitely provides a sigh of relief to Pakistan in the event their is a military movement in the Indian army and naval forces towards Pakistan.  To counter this move of China, it has become more imperative for the Indian government to help the Balochs to fight for their rights and push the Pakistani and Chinese forces out of Gwadar.

I agree with most of the narrative on the Kashmir problem mentioned in this write-up.  However, I feel that in order to preserve peace in that part of India and bring prosperity, it is very important to abrogate an Article 370 from the Constitution.  The removal of this Article will help bring investment in the private sector from other regions of India which in turn help enhance an employment situation.  Once people find suitable jobs that will keep them engrossed in earning their livelihood and less time for demonstration in the street and destruction of public property.  As they say, idle mind is a devil's mind.  This can be done only by evincing full sincerity on a bi-partisan basis on the part of local, state and the central government to bring real peace in the region. Even though all politicians say that a solution to the Kashmir problem can be found only with an exchange of dialogues, but no one has so far come out with the real solution as to what those dialogues should comprise.  I personally feel that an abrogation of an Article 370 and bringing investment from other parts of India will make this region flourish again.
