Billions on fighters and subs only buys you a few years grace with France, Pak learnt that lesson in the 90s
India buys influence and that can work only to an extent: You buy Rafael from France and the American manufacturers like Lockheed would notice that. You buy missiles from Russia, which the Israelis would notice. So on and so forth. One can't please everyone and those try to please everyone don't please anyone.
The mercantile, the Banya nature of India is the reason India punches below its weight globally, thus largely undoing the hard work Indians have done. The old saying 'Nations only have interests' would assume nations are like some Borg, devoid of emotions and civilizational ties but that's far from true. On that count, Pakistanis are more genuine and thus have more real allies even though Pakistan is not in a position to given them back much.
