@sankalpdravid 3 года назад

Precisely! The so called friendship has actually been a smoke screen, while CCP China has always subverted Indian interests everywhere including the UN Security Council Perment Seat and to bring Pakistan's combat capabilities as close as possible to India etc. It's not just hot springs and Aksai that are the concerns of CCP, but they consider India itself as one of their chief adversaries that need to be sorted.

I think it's time to call spade a spade. A Distinguished Chinese scholar is talking about how Hot Spring areas were used by local Chinese population for healing and then goes on to describe what India has in it's mind. We talk about Chinese pragmatism of proposing a line in 1959 and then only coming to that line in 1962 and withdrawing magnanimously after that. We talk about British power games that drove them to define boundary between India and Tibet, with the Tibetian local administration of that time. The same China which claims the whole of South China Sea, the Same China occupied the Tibet and then try to redefine the boundaries accepted by then local administration, the same China magnanimously gives loans and then defends intelligently the infrastructure where the capital was invested, is now rightly claiming what they have been claiming from decades in India. But then Indian have also been going to Mansarovar for centuries so lets start claiming Mansaoravar. Indian ocean is named after India so lets start claiming it. Many Chinese have been practicing Buddhism so let's start claiming apart from Tibet, part of China was an Indian state. May be in five or six decades some Chinese journalist will be talking same like you Sir, and may describe India's claim with such a sugar coated language with all the intellectual backings of books written and what distinguished Indian professor says in the interviews.

Do not throw words in Internet and assume that by throwing words that somehow something becomes a reality to your liking. From Chinese perspective, Tibet is always part of China. It is quite logical: if Tibet was not part of the China, how come Tibet called Beijing the Central Government for so many centuries? And how come Tibet HAD THE NEED to declare independence TWICE with Brits support? Tell me, if a nation is independence, why did it need to declare independence from a foreign entity? It must have a governmental relationship prior to justify such an action right? So the Chinese government, once the Nationalist government (which is now in Taiwan by the way) sent in troop to crush the separation group. And the second time, another Chinese government, the CCP, sent troop to crush the second separation group. Neither government accept the independence. In another word, Tibet was never an independent country FOR A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT TO INVADE AND OCCUPY. So what is your "legical explanation" that Tibet was "illegally" occupied by China?

Historically Ladakh has been part of Tibet and ruled by Tibetan kings. Today india recognises that Tibet is part of China so there is merit in India accepting the Chinese 1959 line as an international border and get over with border disputes and start working for the development of India.

The real solution lies in making India economically strong. And that's possible only if we let private companies grow our wealth without Govt. hinderance. Of course Govt. will need to make sure no one breaks the law. Govt. has no business to be in any business. Govt. should not run airplane, mills, Trains, bus, telephone, oil, banks etc. Look how private companies made India #1 in software and Pharma. We wasted 66 years trying the public sector way, lets try the private way now.

@Ather That suggestion to compromise with China came from Pakistan. Perhaps, it originated in China itself. I am not telling you are either a Pakistani or a Chinese. During 2nd world war, many people said the same thing about Hitler. "Compromise with Hitler, He is way too strong". Economy can only do so much. After that it's the audacity of the soldiers. Why do you think China is hesitant in taking back the heights which India captured a month back. As long as India has the audacity to stand up to China, they will not be at rest. Dhoklam was the turning point.

@Ather You have brought some good points. Somehow we always seem to blame USA for our situation. You also think like the Chinese that only reason we are standing up to China is because of USA. That's wrong. We are standing up to China because China does not believe in compromise. Compromise is a two way street. China's border with India is ever changing. It changes with time. We bought a lot of arms from USA. But India expects a lot from USA just because we are both democracies. Nehru even asked Kennedy for a fleet with pilots. He was a socialist but did not hesitate to ask for help from USA. Anyway, this is the first time in history of India, Indians are standing up to China. Yes India should compromise from a position of strength.

Here it goes my "conspiratory" mind: seems like 'someone's or 'something' has a privileged view of future events and, in the specific case of India, left lots of 'traps' (If you will) along the way as an impediment to the growth and prosperity of the Country. China won't accept nothing less than the 1959 demarcation line. If India wants its territory back, it will have to fight for it; what implies a far fledged war. War, in the best of the situations, imply destruction and stagnation for years to come! A catch twenty two: if India doesn't fight, it loses its territory in two different ways. In the first way, yielding to the demands of China; or secondly, not yielding and kicking the can down the road for years to come ( like it has been for the last seventy years). If India does fight and win it would be a sour win: the devastation, the cost of war and the acquisition of an almost sterile terrain (in the middle of nowhere) that can't add to the Indian economy as a whole or even contribute to the alleviation of the costs of such war! Never undermine the possibility of such war drag other Indian partners ( Countries) in this insanity apart of a possible secession of the Seven Sisters of the West... It's a lose/lose situation, thus the hesitancy in taking any meaningful position until now!I Just a point of view of an "Indianist"!

@AS-qt2qx 3 года назад

Seven Sisters wont secede, Even though insurgency is there in many NE states but secession is not even a remote possibility because Assam has a large Hindu population. And unless Myanmar or Bangladesh try to play spoil sport and want to get itself burnt, China wont be able to mobilize enough support to let insurgents sweep Indian Army. And even in that case it will be a Nuclear war.

That would be pragmatic rather than claiming to take back AksiChin, which is a day dreaming.

SG says that the entire Chinese side talk in one language, one theme. And here we have quite a few almost supporting the Chinese articulation. Again a few from one paper The Hindu. My observation. Did anyone else notice.

@virendrakumar-motivatorcoa2495 3 года назад

Total agreement . All the Chinese speak in the same language and in India , Communists support China , rest will keep mum and wait for the government to fail so that they can criticize.

It is a well researched presentation. Many thanks. If Indians build infrastructure on its side of the border, why should China bother? Does China expect to walk into india India as easily as it did in 1962. Is India expected to leave it that way?

I think NGOs do not know about road construction in Kashmir...if they knew 2kms would take 20 years

@alimoosavi2935 3 года назад

The fact of the matter is that well over 1 million square kilometers of territory between India and China does not belong to either one of them and the inhabitants of those territories were never asked who they want to join. Might is right is the name of the game here.

So basically, we are asking China to give up claim on Arunachal Pradesh in exchange of we give up claim on Aksai Chin?

Shekhar Ji, The amount of respect that you command in the world of journalism, you still are vulnerable , like most Indian, is calling McMahon line as McMohan. It is actually MaaaacMohan & not Mohan, which is the typical Indian psyche as Mohan pyare is omnipresent in Indian household. Hare Krishna. So next time , you can note it.

Your cameraman needs to show the maps for a longer time rather than panning back too soon to your respectable self. We don't have a photographic mind to capture maps within a few seconds whereas we already have a good idea of how you look.

@bobcharles7716 3 года назад

My understanding is that the Chinese in 1962 advance and capture in general the territory that they Claim and went not further. But withdraw to position before the winter to position they can supply during the winter which because more or less the current LAC. To this day the Chinese still have not given up their original claim so therefore they claim land beyond the LAC. This is and was the position taught in World History Course in the United States.

Excellent coverage by Sri Gupta Garu. It seems clear that China has become paranoid on seeing India becoming stronger , believes that a strong India will pose a threat to the larger Chinese interests of aiming for a rightful place in the world order . The border issue is an outcome of China’s fear .If we view the issue without hype it is logical to apprehend that China would like to see a weaker India and preferably an India divided into bits and pieces which development would serve its larger interests .The ultimate solution would be to stand firm at the boarder , at the same time to engage China diplomatically and convince them that a stronger India is in its own interests and that India don’t have territorial ambitions unlike China but would not like others to interfere in its internal issues.

Sir, the explanation could be more graphical in nature, like a ppt presentation.

@anupamroy1260 3 года назад

Sir, ur last concluding comment has a double meaning. But most importantly, the map shows the "1959 claim line by china" is much inside aksai chin than the current LAC. Is the map correctly shown?

THICK NIB ...Well coined and well said. Borders between nations are drawn by negotiation and give and take. Nehru, though a great man and a nationalist did not sit down with Chinese to draw borders. So, now, we have borders that were drawn by foreigners who had no interest in local needs. The English drawn lines to suit their needs irrespective of local history and needs. Durand line has divided same people so has Punjab and Bengal. India has more Nations than Two. Afghan, Punjabi and Bengali have been what they are now for generations: Muslims, Hindus, Sikh, Christians and Buddhists ... speaking the same language and practising different faiths. I feel more akin to an Urdu / Hindi speaker than to a Sindhi or Bengali ... 'Tis about time Indian Junta become Indian and not the boot licker of the White. An Indian is closer to a Pakistani than to an Englishman ..and that is the FACT ... Kashmir is like Norogno Karabagh ...Let them be free to decide ...Once it is sorted out, there will be no problem and India and Pakistan can be the USA and Canada ...

If Chinese wish to go back 60 odd years and revert to 1959 status, India must go 10 additional years to 1949 status when Tibet was independent.

@ahmedjooma2880 3 года назад

Not a bad analysis regarding India's strategic position on snuffling the Chinese in the Indian Ocean. General Rawat made an emphatic statement at a US Military Academy about the South China Sea in April 2020. That must have riled China as the South China Sea and the Belt and Road as the alternative land route are both under threat. China could be strangled economically. That is the driver for their actions. Unfortunately, India's assertions on Kashmir, including Gilgit Balistan is as critical a threat to the matter. This has brought about a total strategic co-incidence of China-Pakistan relations. The trick for India is to have these interests to be split. That involves India and Pakistan resolving Kashmir. The solution is to grant Kashmir independence and to jointly guarantee its security. That would open up the possibility of the TAPI trade route and resolve India's frustration of access to the Central Asian markets and indeed both countries will trade their way to peace. That is the strategic reorientation required. Both countries have a common historical lettuce in their cultural salad. They do not have the same commonality with China.
