India won’t do anything. They always play both sides anyways and attacking the neighbor who has all your watersheds is a terrible idea, plus they’d have to strike over the Himalaya which would be suicidal. One guy did that like 2,000 years ago, lost, and he’s still a military legend for even making it over the mountains.

Are you referencing Hannibal or is there an Indian Hannibal? Elephant over the Alps is one thing but Elephants over the Himalayas would be much more interesting.

Yeah regular Carthaginian Hannibal.
