Face-offs between patrol parties of Indian and Chinese armies in Ladakh continue after the Chinese troops continue to stop Indian Army from patrolling posts in the sector along the border which is well within India’s territory. Although both the armies maintain that these confrontations take place because both the troops have their own perceptions of borders.
The government has cleared the creation of a Mountain Strike Corps costing about Rs 640000 crores specifically aimed at counter-attacking China, if required. Although this is a good move but Chinese have already developed infrastructure near borders like roads and soon they will be connected through railways. This simply means they can get their troops added up lot faster than India. India after remaining laid back for years has initiated the move but it would take about 7 long years to build an infrastructure capable to counter-answer Chinese attacks. There are a number of other major challenges to build roads near borders.Meanwhile,China may call this Indian act as provocative and may attack.
Well,India has been ignoring Chinese invasion and provocation since decades.China has always been able to sustain pressure on India , be it on matters related to South China Sea,Tibet or border attacks. Interestingly, China is friendly to countries like Pakistan , Sri Lanka and Myanmar. Point is, how long will China continue to claim Indian land as its-They want whole of Arunachal Pradesh and claim lot more areas of other states too.
Who wants war but if forced India is bound to lose land and lives. 🙁 The question is – what have been the several Govts of India doing since 65 plus years ? Why our administrators never took stern decisions against Chinese even after losing a war and lot of land against them in the past ?
China’s Foreign Ministry has politely but firmly declared more than once that its a new camp near the Line of Actual Control in the Depsang Valley of Ladakh(19kms inside Indian territory )and it is not an incursion. A third meeting was held today in Ladakh between army commanders from China and India to discuss the border tension that has erupted since a platoon of Chinese soldiers set up a camp 19 kms within Indian territory.
Indian Defence Minister has also clarified that India would seek all measures to ensure a peaceful resolution on the matter!!!!
I love my peaceful government !! Do you ?
Prime Minister,Manmohan Singh is in Phnom Penh from November 18-20, 2012 to attend the 10th ASEAN-India Summit and the 7th East Asia Summit.Meanwhile,Dr Singh met Chinese Premier, Wen Jiabao, there and discussed the issue of increasing India’s market access to China for IT, services and pharmaceuticals.
Indian Govt remains ignorant while Chinese continue penetrating deeper in Arunachal Pradesh
Indian and Chinese Govt Representatives talk about trade and bilateral relations,quite often but disputed border issues between both the countries never got discussed and this has led Indian govt to keep silent on Chinese intrusions taking place in the regions of Himachal Pradesh and several kilometers inside Arunachal Pradesh. China not only claims whole of Arunachal Pradesh but also parts of Himachal and in Arunachal they have developed roads as well while the Indian Central Govt seems least bothered on the issue and state govts seem helpless.
Question is are we scared of China and can’t do anything about the intrusions and if it is , then why do our Indian Maps on our school books misleading us while Google maps show Pakistan occupied Kashmir and China occupied Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh as a disputed land and not Indian land?
Just go to google images and type ‘Indian Map’ and you would be shocked to see the variations of Indian borders or on google images type ‘india map with disputed territories‘ and check the difference !
Click here for one such eg Indian map which is so different from the one which we have seen since childhood. 🙁
