The arrival of the Karkas (1) helps but we have to admit that by ourselves we will not be able to defeat the threat the rebels represent to shipping in the Gulf.

No surprise here. Looks like Persia will become a "Warsaw Pact" navy for India.
Still, having seen what Perdedor's put together for other navies, I have the feeling it will be well balanced and quality.

Really? I'd actually give the Loyalists the decided upper hand, unless they play their cards stupidly and get wiped out in detail. The Burijas-class is quite impressive for a destroyer, but they don't have the staying power that the Vouruskashas and the Isfahans have in surface combat. The Nationalist squadron could perhaps hope to sally on occasion to try to defeat the Loyalists in detail - like the High Seas Fleet at Jutland - but if the Loyalists stay together and don't make any stupid errors, then they'll probably have a good chance of winning. Of course, JMHO, and the chances of war mean the Nationalists could still get an upset victory...
Of course if the full Indian Navy enters the picture, the Nationalists are Doomed. Doomy-doomy-doomed.

Was there a note that was supposed to be attached to this?

“Also, you may recall, the new treaty includes a provision were the Royal Navy is bound to help the BNS in case of an attack by any foreign power. While in my opinion the current British battleships in the region don’t amount to much (2) the arrival of the two Canadian battlecruisers is another story. Those ships are closer in speed to our current battle line and in case of war they should be counted as powerful allies. I hope they stay for a long while in the region. That is another point to take in consideration to make decision in this regard.”

At which point some forgotten and unnamed minion in unsightly spectacles would likely try and remind the Admirals that while they have a treaty and nominal alliance with the British and Australians, they have neither with the Canadians.
Irregardless, it would not be prudent to base fleet projections and build plans on the assumption that two foreign battlecruisers may or may not remain in the region, and may or may not assist the navy in a crisis.
Should an Intelligence specialist on the Canadians be consulted, a likely conclusion would be that Canada is unlikely to maintain half of it's capital ships at a distant station for a prolonged period without a compelling reason or crisis to prevent them from returning to Esquimalt once operations in Baluchistan are stabilized and concluded.

Australia is most certainly not required to defend India or Indian concerns at ANY point in time.
And might we reminds the Indians that India is tied, first to RAN size, secondly to 35% RN. Not the other way around. So any new aircraft carriers or capital ships by India will be illegal per the treaty, untill the time that Australia gets around to building more of each.

§15 The Empire of Bharat agrees to limit their Fleet to 35% of the size of the Royal Navy with the exception of aircraft carriers, amphibious operations ship, escort ships, antisubmarine ships and minor units. The Empire of Bharat will be limited to three fleet carriers and two light carriers at any given time, with any excess being either scrapped or being moved to secondary roles. The Empire of Bharat amphibious capabilities will be frozen to the numbers by February 1st 1939 until February 1st 1949, with any new construction forcing the scrapping of a similar numbers of units. Escort, antisubmarine and minor units will be free of limits.
§16 The Empire of Bharat agrees to limit their Fleet to the size of the Australian Fleet, except when is not in conflict with §15 above . In such cases the British Empire will serve as final arbiter of any conflict caused by differences between §16 and §15.

It's pretty clear, India is the one limited.

Is the other way around the way we see it. Canada and Australia are being tied to the region by this treaty.
