While we talk much about our military, we don’t put our national wallet where our mouth is. Nobody is saying we should double our defence spending, but current declining trend must be reversed.
Such a pusillaminous article whose advise must be outrightly rejected by all Indians. A country of India’s size and strength will not be a door mat for Chinese. Agressor and expansionist Countries like China only respects strength and India must stand up against them with all their might. If China meddles in Leh and Kashmir, then India also can in Tibet and South China Sea.
We need to define India ‘s long term interests. Economic and Security in a realistic way. With US increasing its pressure on China certainly China would be inclined to wean India away and consolidate its position further in South Asia. This should be seen as a window of opportunity by India to finally negotiate its boundary / territorial dispute with China. Walk the path of cooperation rather than Confrontation. This approach may also assist Dalai Lama to secure Tibetan autonomy. Independent Tibet is no longer possible.
I don’t understand why India’s hands should be tied as pointed out by these so-called experts. The Tibetan people considered Chinese occupation of Tibet as invasion and they fled because they were opposed to China. It is Chinese responsibility to win back the Tibetan people, why should India keep quiet? Please note, India lost to China in 1962 because it never expected China to attack. China realized this in 1967 when it got a bloody nose. Moreover, China’s win was very small compared to India’s win over Pakistan in 1971 which gave birth to a new country. So I never understand when these spineless experts comment that India’s hands are tied. India’s response should be mature to China’s aggression.
