Re: Could China and India go to war over Tibet?

We must rethink our policies of blindly supporting "One China" theory as well.
Tibet is certainly not Chinese.
Successive govts in India have supported this theory: where's the Quid Pro Quo? or is it just appeasement of a larger neighbour? :(

Re: Could China and India go to war over Tibet?

Indeed we are in a Catch 22 situation here. I do not think Balochisthan can be liberated without India's active military engagement. If GOI does nothing : China will only strengthen its foothold in Balochisthan, Arabian Sea and IOR in the coming days. If GOI uses force to liberate Balochisthan: Chin...

Re: Could China and India go to war over Tibet?

It's only a matter of time b4 Balochistan is "ceded" to PRC to pay for all the aid from the Taller and Deeper Friends. I fully agree. PRC has more assets than India in Balochistan. I sincerely hope our politicians are aware of this possibility. The Chinese have already expressed their des...

Re: Nepal News and discussion

Though I am not particularly a fan of Hindu, I do agree with the article.
No country should be taken for granted.

What are the chances of Pakistan negotiating a new treaty when the current one is so much in their favour?
Don't see it happening!

Re: Could China and India go to war over Tibet?

No offence taken Harbans ji, Our interests are the same. However I do not know of any Indian who would disrespect any other Indian based on his ethnicity. This is news to me. Jokes yes-- Disrespect No. If this is happening at all .. I agree with RajeshA this should stop. As for Balochistan, I am awa...

Re: Could China and India go to war over Tibet?

I was wondering whats stopping the Chinese from gobbling by Balochisthan under some pretext? If I were a Chinese General (wearing a Chanakya cap), I would certainly give it a very good thought. :lol: Why bother grabbing Indian soil (Arunachal) when it might be easier to take on a smaller country (Po...

Re: India-China News and Discussions

To our Chinese guests: please do not try to compare China with India. It is morally wrong! China and India have different history, philosophy and value system though both are ancient cultures. India is more than a nation. India stands for Dharma just as US stands for Freedom. The political boundarie...

Re: India-China News and Discussions

Greetings! While it is nearly impossible to understand the motives and thinking of Communists, in my opinion the recent threats (of breaking India into 30 parts) has more to do with Pakistan (read Balochisthan and Gwadar) than India - China border issues or next Dalai Lama. Having invested heavily, ...
