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

I could think that chinese system is kept in power by PLA unlike India. Their system is inherently unstable without reflecting the will of its people. So India can do only ad-hoc business with them untill proper system is put in place by Chinese truly reflecting their will. And peacemaker , it is i...

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

The ROW already thinks India is a soft puppy. When BDR killed 15 of BSF jawans near the Kakripara and all India did was file an FIR was the starting point. Kandahar, Kaluchak, Kargil and 26/11 only reinforced it. Unless the Indian leaders make Army training compulsory for every citizen like Israel,...

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

India and China already cooperate on climate change and world trade. They along with Brazil, Russia, South Africa, etc, have a commonality of views on these issues. However they are poles apart in dealing with Pakistani/Islamist terror, border issues, India's status as a nuclear power and India's n...

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

^^^ Guru Tegh Bahadur must be very foolish indeed by your def. He chose to die a very painful death (excessive torture) for what he believed in. What a trade? But hind got a chaddar because of that Wrong learning from Guru's martyrdom. You are confusing personal sacrifice for a greater cause with s...

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

Dharma is what makes the Indian soldier fight to death to prevent the enemy from taking over. No, the Indian soldier fights for the Mother Land aka Bharat Mata because that's what his Dharma is. Unfortunately, the Dharma of a soldier is decided by a politician or a babu. And it would really help th...

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

So why are you harping on exiling HH the Dalai Lama. Like I said earlier, the same reason we want Dawood Ibrahim and Let chief to be handed to India. And like said before, it doesn't matter if Dalai Lama is a God to you, he is a devil to China. Why should India seek to follow American morality? don...

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

Are you out of your mind? India has always welcomed the oppressed and given refuge to them when others have exterminated them. Jews, Parsi's even Bangladeshi's in 71. Countries are not run by idealists. Gandhian idealism cost us half the country. Nehru's Non Aligned Movement is another example. Con...

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

Your talk of exiling Dalai Lama if thats what makes peace with China goes against the fabric of India. Your talk of giving Arunachal (barren mountains where no one goes eh?), if that buys peace again holds no water. India cannot give ArP if not a single citizen there wants to be a part of China. Yo...

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

First, I am not a commie with a jhola. I have deep impulsive hatred of Indian communists. And I tried to say this several times but I think the Indian defensive mindset vis-s-vis China is deep. And we blame Pakistan for the same.. Let me reiterate my claim: China is not as imperialist as Indian poli...

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

peacemaker: I do not want India to give up anything. I want India to take back all that we have already lost. period. well, I appreciate your patriotism but that line of thinking is no different than the chest thumping Pakistanis who keep losing wars and sound like brash kindergartners when making ...

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

@Lalmohan I would say that depends on what they ask for on the negotiating table. But in order to help open our minds I was wondering - what is India willing to give up for an isolated Pakistan that is not being supplied by arms and nukes and money by China. Along with a peaceful eastern border. And...

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

at the risk of sounding naive I would suggest that Indian foreign policy "experts" (including those operating off the armchair here) need to tone down on China and seriously consider building bridges with that country. To clarify, I am NOT suggesting we go back to singing Hindi Chini bhai-...

Re: MRCA News and Discussion

I am not a defense hardware expert by any means, but as far as the politics of business goes here is my 2 cents: being dependent on a supplier is not good business under any situation. you lend yourself to arm twisting and price inflation. Over the years, Russians have been a reliable supplier no do...
