Chacha Nehru passed away a broken man; courtesy Chinese
aggression of 1962. Nehru Ji personally invested so much on ‘Panchaseel’ and on
Non-alignment foreign policy of India and yet China did strike India hard as it
was least prepared for a military confrontation in the northern reaches of Himalayas
then and not well prepared even now. Our gentle man Prime Minister says “we can
resolve the current dead lock in Ladakh through dialogue and we have a plan”.
May be PM is right now; but, can he buy an insurance against future aggression
from China ? China
is playing geo-politics in the region for a long term and it can not be
contained by appeasement or sweet talk. Their intention is very clear now and
they consider India
as a threat to their future hegemony in Asia and beyond.
India can’t
afford to seat complacently any further. Die is already cast and apparently China
would make an attempt once again to strike India
in 2-3 yrs time to bruise its Global standing and capture some territories like
Arunanchal Pradesh which it claims as its own. India
has very little option now than the policy of ‘offence is best defense’.
Indians have to move quickly and get an International Coalition in place
comprising of Japan
and South Korea
to give the Dragon Country a run for its money by suitably targeting its
economic sectors and defense establishments in the costal belt; while preparing
for a medium term trade embargo on all its goods and services to choke its
economic advantages. But, simultaneously India
has to strangulate China
by actively promoting pro democracy movements inside the country while drawing
Global attention to its track records on Liberty
and Free Press. Hard nosed Chinese Communist Party bosses could be tempted to
repeat the “Tiananmen Square ” incident
once again which might subsequently become the death knell in the coffins of
last communist bastion. And as a result of which we can once again have “Tibet ”
as the neutral buffer State between India
and China . Sooner
India takes a
call on this it would be better for its security and territorial integrity.
Indian Foreign Minister must now cancel his trip to China
and also communicate its unwillingness to host any dignitaries from China
till such time the border dispute is resolved.
