Ram Manohar Lohia, George Fernandes and Mulayam Singh Yadav always saw China as a bigger threat than Pakistan, and wanted India to recalibrate its foreign policy accordingly.
Misreading the LAC situation and poorly advised by his compliant military hierarchy, Modi played a dangerous game of brinkmanship. The result is the horrendous murder of 20 soldiers.
China is lashing out in Ladakh and South China Sea after Covid blame. It's an established Chinese behaviour to create a new crisis to push the previous one out of sight.
If there is any country trusted by both sides in Gaza, it is India. While some Arab and Muslim countries are mistrusted by Israel, any Western influence is doubted by Palestinians.
In 2024-25, India exported $387.54 bn worth of services, against imports of $198.14 bn, earning all-time high surplus of $189.40 bn. This offset 2/3rd of goods trade deficit.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
Photo ops gained more prominence than tactical foreign policy.Talks with Cahina will take us nowhere.Follow Mao’s dictum of “Power grows out of the barrel of agun and Cahina will respect and be more circumspect in its dealings
What about Sitaram Yechury, Prakash Karat, Brinda Karat and JNU commie brigade? All of them supported China’s win against India in 1962 directly and cheered China living in India? They are more loyal to their masters in politburo than the country they live in. Where do Indian communists stand is a question we all need to ask? Already they are reduced to nothing in India because of their ambivalent political stand in many of the issues affecting the people in India.
Like wise how Pakistan is building more nukes against India conventional might India should do same against china I don’t understand why India spends billions dollars in aid to countries like Afghanistan Mongolia Burma Africa first of all we should protect our country mahatma Gandhi peace ideology doesn’t work in world where only the fittest and most brutal survive when our bewakuf politician will wake up China in future might be aiming for himachal utthrakhand just imagine what will happen if china controls the river ganga kindly my country men wake up simply enjoying nude pics of immoral Bollywood will not work
I say GeorgeFfernandes and Mulayam only talked pray what they did as Defence Ministers to tailor our FOREIGN POLICY towards China? We always become wise after the EVENT.
learn from history south Asia did do develop for its won sake. any development is always expansionary Britisher captured India for trade, Mughals captured for trade and China is expanding for trade,, WW II was basically trade war as Britishers did not open market for rising industrial powers
all expanding industry require military power Military power means expansion… large armies are not for defense but offense … China signals should have been read treaty of Versailles should have shown peace can not bought by surrendering
I am yet to seriously read this piece. I write this only to object to equating LOHIA with Mulayam–in every respect. Because of my family background and it’s history of being revolutionaries, I had personally known Logis from my childhood and I feel chagrined at that less recognised statesman being mentioned in the same breath with one who from scratch became a billionaire, claiming himself as a socialist!
But, I am in general agreement as regards the assessment of China is concerned.
Absolutely. How can we be so dumb over so many decades regardless of who the person and party has been in power. How could we let Tibet happen? In fact how could also the world stand by as mute spectators? Collectively we have allowed China to become a Frankenstein.
“And now we have a nuclear power in our neighbourhood that we mostly remain clueless about on how to deal with, ”
China has a NBomb from 1964 not in 2020. Also China was in the neighbourhood forever…
Of course, China being a more powerful country is a bigger threat to us but I don’t understand this urge among liberals to give a clean chit to Pakistan.
Pakistan is a rogue state, a country whose foundation was laid on hating India and its Hindu majority. Indian Liberals like their chief deity Nehru have always been blind to Hindu-Muslim tensions unless it is for minority appeasement or vote bank politics.
Pakistan is as serious a threat to India as China is. LAC has seen action only just now, LOC has been on fire since 1947. Pakistan will ride anybody’s back to harm India, be it China, US or Arabs.
Deal with China but don’t be complacent about the Jihadi Republic of Pakistan.
CASTIEST and communal groupings are long known to describe themselves as socialist. They have controlled media and education for long. Their story of INDIA starts with mughals and ends with family. These anti HINDU forces are now being ignored and their communal and CASTIEST rhetoric hardly matters to the majority today.
WELL WRITTEN AND REVEALS ONLY THE TRUTH,
Indian army had announced that “no indians are missing”, and now army personal are released from CHINA ?
I thing something is fishy, and our army seems to be always under ” deep slumber” and only wakes up when either “pakistan terrorists” attack, or CHINA attacks and devastates ? and by that time some poor innocent soldiers
Our diplomacy also seems not working . Following is the proof.
There exists LAC ( line of actual control), on our side as well as china’s side. And there is ” no man’s land ” in between, which is common to both countries , or no country can act on it ?
Now India is constructing its border road alongside of its LAC, well within its territory , parallel to LAC on our side. And China is constructing road across the ” no man’s land ” , cutting across it and towards butting it to the indian side LAC.
So the diplomacy work is to reveal this fact to the world , and world bodies, that what CHINA does is ” abnormal ” I strongly thing that this part is found wanting.
India is constructing road along the line of actual control, without disturbing the other side of LAC.
Our political system has always been in slumber. The chinese side had been all along active in the borders, otherwise how they could build up such structures, roads and armoury on the ” no man’s land ” ??
I have strong view that our MEA is found wanting heavily, on such an importanat issue.
REMEMBER china was against our joining the ” UNSC “, as permanant member, and always helping our ” born-enemy” PAKISTAN, and was be-friending all our neighbours , and mainly supporting terror against INDIA, the great democracy.
So india must SHOW GRIT, and oppose china ” tooth and nail ”
To start with INDIA must do the following earnestly.
1. DBO must be made operational round the year by arranging permanant lighting and other required facilities.
2. Gilgit baltistan MUST be kept under our control, which is most effective, even if china controls GALWAN NALLAH.
3. Military post must be established on the left side hillock of GALWAN, so that india can be watchful of and supervising CHINA, if in case they permanantly occupy the galwan nallah.
4. convince and get help from all countries that matter including RUSSIA, as china’s actions on the border is most aggressive following no norms.
5. Have a bold face, and never ” give-up “
have you listened to MS yadavs speech in the Parliament attached in the article? Whatever their ideologies might be, BUT the fact remains India has been unnecessarily cosying upto China.It is not a winners mentality. India needs to depend either on itself or on support from investments from other countries other than China if it wants to be ahead of China. Google up the EU Vietnam deal and then you would understand what a winners mindset is. DO note that Vietnam made China bite the dust. And Vietnam is slowly making sure it does that again , this time with the biggest asset that China has, the economy.
India needs to talk less now and do more. And so do every citizen of this country. Talk less. Do more.

These leaders are known to tolerate the intolerant ideology driving Pakistan against us it is natural that they would deflect towards China.

China is a bigger threat. That is why Vajpayee declared India a nuclear state and conducted nuclear tests. What are these three talking about?
also cause communists said that china was not a problem but a friend
Absolutely. How can we be so dumb over so many decades regardless of who the person and party has been in power. How could we let Tibet happen? In fact how could also the world stand by as mute spectators? Collectively we have allowed China to become a Frankenstein.

Sometimes facts are inconvenient to rhetoric …

Good to see something from the writer which is not about caste.

Here is another article from a disgruntled failure – a bitter man who has only hatred to offer.

Prime Minister Vajpayee visited China in 1979
He was Minister of External Affairs in the Morarji Desai government,
also the communist ignored it big time
All the named 3 people are not socialist but communist who have supported both China and Russia but come out of hiding and being paid by Congress.
