Who Are India’s Real Friends? After India-Pakistan Conflict-2025

A Deep Dive into Global Geopolitics, Hidden Conspiracies & Media Manipulation

---

In times of peace, every country has allies. In times of war, only true friends remain.
The recent India-Pakistan conflict of May 2025, triggered by a brutal terrorist attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam, once again exposed the global diplomatic chessboard. And more importantly, it raised a fundamental question—Who are India’s real friends?

While missiles flew and airbases burned, another war was being fought—a war of narratives. A war where China supplied arms openly, the U.S. indirectly financed Pakistan, and the Western media tried hard to mute India's voice and successes. This article examines the global conspiracies, geopolitical betrayals, the role of fake narratives, and the reality of India's strategic alliances.

China and the Obvious Betrayal

China didn’t even bother to pretend neutrality this time. Just days after the attack in Pahalgam, on May 20, 2025, China openly declared support for Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. That’s diplomatic code for “we back your war efforts.”

Even during the active military exchange, China continued supplying weapons to Pakistan, including air-defense systems, missiles, and drones. Ironically, most of these weapons systems—especially Chinese air defenses—failed miserably, with Indian airstrikes destroying multiple Pakistani airbases.

But why is China so invested?

Because Pakistan is China's pawn, its permanent outpost to keep India encircled. Be it the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), military cooperation, or tech espionage, Pakistan is China's leverage to keep India in check.

USA: Playing Both Sides of the Chessboard

Now comes the most disturbing part.

While India was neutralizing terror hubs and decimating Pakistani air power, the U.S. was busy funding Pakistan through the IMF and World Bank. IMF Loan Program: A staggering $7 billion under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF), with an immediate $1 billion disbursed during the conflict.

World Bank Package: A mind-boggling $40 billion long-term financial aid to Pakistan through the Country Partnership Framework (2026–2035). Let’s put this bluntly—India hits terror camps and airbases; the West rebuilds them. Isn’t that like paying the arsonist to buy more fuel?

The message is clear: "You keep producing terrorists, and we’ll keep funding your recovery, just ensure you remain useful in keeping India’s rise under control." 

The irony? The very nations that speak about "global war on terror" are funding a state openly using terror as state policy.

Western Media: Crafting False Narratives

While Indian missiles struck with pinpoint accuracy and Pakistan's defenses crumbled, the U.S. and U.K.-based media began their usual trickery. They painted the conflict as a "minor skirmish." They downplayed Pakistan’s loss of 11 airbases, covered up failed drone and missile strikes, and refused to acknowledge that Chinese air defense systems failed spectacularly.

• Why? Because acknowledging India's technological superiority would:
• ·       Undermine American and Chinese defense exports.
• ·       Destroy the illusion that Pakistan is a "balanced" counterweight to India.
• ·       Show that a “non-aligned” power like India can defeat Western-armed proxies.

To make things worse, U.S. media often tried to portray Pakistan as a victim, blaming “mutual escalation” and “both sides” rhetoric. But this wasn’t a mutual war; it was a counterterrorism response by India after a cowardly massacre in Kashmir.

USA vs. China: Rivals in Arms Trade, United in Hiding India’s Strength

There’s a secret race between American and Chinese weapons manufacturers. So while they criticized each other, they both agreed to downplay India’s achievements. Because India’s indigenous weapons success is bad for their business. India’s BrahMos, Akash Air defence systems, Veerupaksh Indian AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array), Bhargavastra and D4 anti-drone systems, Surveillance satellite systems, Indigenous Artillery Guns,  Tejas fighters, and indigenous drone capabilities could end dependence on foreign arms markets. That’s a geopolitical and economic nightmare for both Washington and Beijing.

So the media smokescreen began—"Nothing major happened," "No big damage," "Ceasefire is a win for both sides."

So, Who Truly Supports India? Let’s Look Country by Country

---

1. Russia – The Old Arms Partner

Historically, India-Russia ties were more transactional than emotional. The Soviet Union, and later Russia, was India’s primary arms supplier. But Russia also sabotaged Indian defense R&D during the Cold War. Documents from the Mitrokhin Archives reveal KGB’s penetration into Indian institutions, even manipulating media narratives and political discourse.

But in today’s world, Putin’s Russia is pragmatic. While not vocal, it didn’t support Pakistan, didn’t fund terrorism, and continues to back India's defense initiatives quietly. India needs to maintain a balanced but cautious friendship here.

---

2. USA

The U.S. has never been a true friend. Historically, it:

• ·       Armed Pakistan for decades.
• ·       Blocked India’s nuclear ambitions.
• ·       Refused to help during the 1971 war.

Today, it’s cozying up to India—not out of affection, but to counter China. Even the American companies moving production to India are doing it reluctantly, under business pressure, not political goodwill.

And beware—USA would prefer India-China war, so it can sell arms and control Asia. India will never fall for the trap of being a pawn in their larger chessboard.

---

3. Japan – A Rising Ally with Emotional Connect

Japan stood by India, publicly condemned the Pahalgam attack, offered strategic and defense cooperation, and even proposed India’s participation in the Global Combat Air Program (GCAP). That’s a true friend—offering futuristic collaboration, not arms leftovers. Japan can’t send military help due to its pacifist constitution and U.S. alliance—but their intentions are clear: India matters in Asia’s balance.

---

4. Israel – A Bond of Trust

Israel’s support was genuine, visible, and emotional. From political leadership to common Israeli citizens, the solidarity with India was real. Israeli defense systems have helped India fortify its borders, and Israeli tech and intelligence play a silent yet powerful role in India’s counterterrorism.

This is a relationship that goes beyond politics, built on shared values, mutual respect, and understanding of terrorism’s real face.

---

5. Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Bhutan – Quiet Friends

These countries offered diplomatic support, and India continues to be their regional partner. But their economic dependencies on China make them cautious. India must continue investing in these relationships, ensuring that economic strength becomes diplomatic strength.

---

6. Singapore – Respectful Neutrality

Singapore is small but influential. It offered diplomatic condolences but not military aid-fair enough, considering its size and neutral stance. But Singapore never opposed India or backed Pakistan.

---

7. OIC Nations – Predictably Silent or Biased

Most OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) nations issued vague statements calling for peace. Some criticized India, despite the attack originating from Pakistan. Saudi Arabia stayed neutral, Qatar and Turkey leaned pro-Pakistan, and UAE maintained balance. Their positions are driven more by Islamic bloc politics than facts.

---

8. Europe and Australia – Just Words, No Action

They condemned terrorism—but never named Pakistan. As usual, they echoed U.S. positions, issuing safe, vague, neutral statements.

---

So, Does India Stand Alone? No. But It Stands Tall.

Let’s bust the myth that India has no friends.

India has reliable silent partners: Japan, Israel, France, and Vietnam.

It has regional goodwill: Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Indonesia.

It has strategic leverage: Russian arms, American markets.

Most importantly, it has an independent voice, not dancing to NATO or Beijing’s tunes.

Meanwhile, Pakistan is merely a puppet—used by China, funded by the West, and supported by terror networks.

India’s growing economy, technological power, space dominance, and military strength are making it the last truly independent major power in the world. That’s why it’s feared. That’s why it’s attacked. And that’s why narratives are created to suppress its voice.

The World Doesn’t Support India—Because It Fears a Strong India

India doesn’t need sympathy. It needs a strategy.

In a ruthless geopolitical world, emotions don’t matter; strength does. And India is getting stronger. The time has come for Indians to:

• ·       Know the games being played.
• ·       Question the narratives.
• ·       Support a strong national policy.
• ·       Expose global hypocrisies.

In war, everyone reveals their true face. And now we know who clapped in silence, who funded our enemies, and who stood by us even when it was inconvenient.

India is not alone. It’s just standing on its own feet, while many others are still on their knees.
