India is a South Asian country with the largest population in the world. It is a growing economic and political power in the region, and is known for its linguistic, cultural, and geographic diversity. Its large population and vast history mark its economic and cultural importance.
Even though India has a long history, its current borders can be traced back to 1947, when the country gained independence from British rule. Today, India has 28 states and 8 union territories, and its capital is New Delhi. India is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world, and has many religions, sects, castes and tribes, as well as more than a dozen major and hundreds of minor linguistic groups.
The ambition of world domination is not new. Hitler, Stalin and Mao had it. But, they had no economic muscle to back it up. Whereas china has all the muscles and is willing to flex them. The biological warefare commenced against the world in January 2020 has paid rich dividends to China. It will take more than Quad to contain China’s unscrupulous methods. The world will need an equivalent on NATO now.
If Quad is for real and here to stay, then why the joint opinion by its four leaders n the Washington Post MENTIONS almost everything, from political democracies, market economies, pluralistic societies, rules-based international order, territorial integrity and sovereignty, rule of law, transparency, freedom of navigation and peaceful resolution of disputes, ASEAN countries, Covid-19 pandemic and vaccination programs, BUT NOT CHINA BY ITS NAME? If they want to send a clear and unmistakable message to China, then why not do so boldly and transparently by naming it? What are they afraid of?
