The recent events in India-Pakistan crisis are attracting international attention. The international powers the United States of America and the United Kingdom became pivotal players in diplomacy and balancing. Although they profess to be following the rules of peace officially, USA and UK’s hidden agendas behind the India Pakistan war, These countries leaves the traces of concealed global geopolitical interests.
Although USA and UK claim peace on their lips, they speak otherwise with their actions regarding strategic interests governing their stance on the India-Pakistan conflict.

As long as tensions remain high, world powers will continue making their move in the background in order to secure their interests.
USA’s Duality: India and Pakistan Balancing
The United States has never had an easy relationship with Pakistan and India. In spite of the public claim by former President Donald Trump of strong support for India, later reports have emerged of secret support to Pakistan in the form of intelligence sharing and weapons supply. The double policy is a reflection of the overall trend of Washington to have hegemony in South Asia without giving either country complete hegemony.
Key Reasons for U.S. Strategy
Balancing China: America views India as a central ally in balancing China’s increasing presence in the Indo-Pacific region.
Military Interests: Pakistan has been the traditional strategic partner of the U.S., especially for regional security and counterterrorism.
Diplomatic Mediation: Washington has historically acted as a mediator between India and Pakistan to avoid a full-scale war.
UK’s Alignment with India: Economic and Strategic Interests
Unlike in the U.S., the UK has traditionally been with India, largely due to economic and geostrategic interests. Good trade relations between Russia and India put the latter at a very significant partner position in the eyes of the UK, which means it has access to major markets and sources. Pakistan has little to offer in terms of strategic or economic value to Britain.
The UK Preference for India
Economic Relations: India is one of the UK’s most significant trade partners, accounting for billions in trade every year.
Geopolitical Stability: Stable India promotes British strategic interest in regional stability.
Historical Relations: India has historical diplomatic and cultural relationships with the UK that shape foreign policy towards the country.
