We cannot move from one fire-drill to another. Unless there is a concerted policy to impose unacceptable costs to Chinese on every incursions this will continue no matter you can scream and write about Modi, Italians, half-baked RG, the Print, The Wire and all the left parties etc. It is not all about Modi as some of these publications makes it appear as they are more interested in blaming Modi and doing retail politics with this issue, as opposed to finding a solution as a country..
