I wouldn't think of it as forcing. An opener (who may be on a dead minimum) opposite any single raise hardly promises the balance of power. Pard knows your hand is oriented toward defense and is high card heavy for a single raise, and he did not double. Your redouble is far from the top of the range defensively. Put your heart honors in other suits and substitute three small in hearts, and you would be better defensively and just might double three diamonds at matchpoints on pure speculation. As it is, I'm happy with three diamonds and would be pleased to pass.
