China, Turkey and Pakistan... three enemies formed an axis against India, trying to hurt..., Should India worry?
Even before the Pahalgam terror attack, China, Turkey, and Pakistan were trying to target India together. But when the Indian Armed Forces took revenge for the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives, these countries tried to harm India not only militarily but also economically. This axis of three enemies of Delhi has planned to harm India at the economic, military, and diplomatic levels. Their aim is not only to stop India's regional influence but also to disrupt India's geopolitical position. As per a report from the Sunday Guardian, during Operation Sindoor, Pakistan received strong diplomatic and military support from China and Turkey. The 'Made in China' mark on Pakistani weapons used against India shows that the geopolitical situation of Asia is undergoing a significant change.
China has already provided huge loans to Pakistan through its CPEC project. While the alliance with the Dragon also opens up avenues for infrastructure development, energy projects and defence cooperation for Turkey.
It is worth mentioning that China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and Chinese banks have recently given huge loans to Turkey for development work. This huge money helped the country to manage its financial situation. In recent years, both China and Turkey strengthen their bilateral relationship. After Operation Sindoor, Shahbaz Sharif is on a visit to Turkey and Pakistan's Army Chief Asim Munir is also with him. He has gone to thank Erdogan for helping against India. China, Turkey Pakistan's 'Asia Plan'
Turkey's 'Asia Anew Initiative,' spearheaded by President Erdogan, prioritises strengthening ties with China as a pathway to greater involvement in organisations like BRICS Plus and the SCO. This strategic shift is partly driven by strained relations with Western powers, including a reluctance to publicly criticise China's treatment of Uighur Muslims, despite Turkey's NATO membership and EU aspirations. This focus on Asia is further evidenced by the recent joint military exercises between Turkey and Pakistan, highlighting a strong bilateral defence relationship.
Apart from this, Pakistan is buying Turkish drones, which were used against India during the faceoff. Not only that, during the conflict, Turkey had sent one of its warships to Pak, and at least 3 Turkish aircraft landed on Pak soil carrying weapons.
After the ceasefire, Pak's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar reached Beijing to thank for its help, while Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif is now in Ankara to thank Turkey.
The Dragon has taken its economy far ahead, Pakistan is not interested in development and Turkey is living in the dream of recreating Ottoman Empire. Therefore, India is on the hit list of all three countries. How Dangerous is the Alliance of China, Turkey and Pakistan?
China and Pakistan's USD60 billion CPEC project, coupled with Turkey's growing trade relationship with China (approx 30 billion, involving weaponry and dual-use technologies), signifies a strengthening military alliance against New Delhi. How Can India Counter Enemy Alliance?
To counter Turkey's support for terrorism, India should forge stronger strategic partnerships with European nations. Simultaneously, India needs to cultivate closer ties with key West Asian states—Iran, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and potentially Iraq—to mitigate Turkey's regional influence and secure vital energy supplies. Open alliances with Turkey's adversaries, including Greece, Cyprus, and Syrian Kurdish groups, are also crucial. A conciliatory approach towards a hostile Turkey is unproductive; India should actively support Kurdish armed resistance against Turkey. Furthermore, India should veto Turkey's membership in the SCO and BRICS Plus. Ultimately, India holds significant leverage in this geopolitical situation.

Gujarat Congress leader arrested for 'misleading, morale breaking' posts on Operation Sindoor
Gujarat Congress general secretary Rajesh Soni was arrested on Friday by the state's Cyber Crime Cell for allegedly uploading misleading and morale-damaging content related to 'Operation Sindoor' on social media, reports news agency PTI. Police officials said Soni is accused of posting controversial statements on Facebook concerning Operation Sindoor, the recent military offensive launched by the Indian armed forces to target terror hubs in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Superintendent of Police (CID-Cyber Crime), Bharatsinh Tank, said Soni's posts were not only misleading but also potentially harmful to national security. 'The content is suspected to have broken the morale of defence personnel and endangered the sovereignty of the country,' said Tank. Soni has been booked under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), specifically Section 152, which pertains to acts endangering the sovereignty, unity, and integrity of India, and Section 353(1)(a), relating to statements that could incite public mischief. Further investigation is underway. The Congress party has yet to issue an official statement on the arrest.
