For India, dealing with China is to become strong!!!

Chinese menace will go on increasing as it becomes stronger day by day. Only solution for India is to become strong while keeping normal tie with China. The fact China cannot be trusted on long run. So only solution on long term is to become strong. For this we have to minimise waste of our energy by pushing down patty matters like religion, caste, creed related problems. We must have strict discipline while forgetting must have all "rights". India has to have authoritarian rule at least for few decades to bring discipline. Many not like it, but they must be brushed aside. There will be few 'humane right' issues. One need to forget it.  There is no alternatives to this to prosper country like India. Never imagine Singapore like advancement can take place here even with 1000 Lee kwan yew. The rich, illiterate (& cunning) politicians will show illiterate Indians such "stars" during day time! Time is passing. Modi must take actions on all old issue and settle them for all the time to come. Modi is yet to take any improvement action on two vital issues: Judiciary effectiveness and Population stabilization that is core at the progress of India.

Memories of 1962 war with China

In 1962 I was in village when one day all villagers gathered at Panchayat notice board depicting what Nehru said " China has stabbed us from back". He said about start of war with China. As a stupid young boy, I went with other boys to convey the message to all villagers about war and how China betrayed us...by stabbing us from back! I took Chacha Nehru's words for granted. The facts revealed as I read some books written by others clarifying what mistakes India did (and for that matter Nehru did) and we lost many lives and land as well. The small lessons are: we need to be very tricky in dealing with China, do not invite war if possible. The big lesson is: We have to be strong to be respected. And this is where we failed miserably in last 70 years of Congress rule in "full(fool?)" democracy. To become a respected power first we need to have one voice and this is only possible if we readily accept some restrictions on democratic rights!!! Are we ready? Or else China and may be Pak shall take away land and out pride as well.

West did not respond to Xi's "Red Line" to HK!!

West did not respond to Xi's "Red Line" to HK!!

Someone need to answer cooly what would have been the status of China today had 1989 Tiananmen Square protest succeeded. As per me, it would have been a nation somewhat similar to India with low per capita income and busy with day to day firefighting. For Hong Kong it is better to be with China than asking for a separate nation. Chinese, like Indians can be controlled with 'bit of discipline' only. Otherwise they shall give more priority to shellfish act than national act. Of late, it seems westerners have stopped giving advice on "Human rights and freedom of everything etc". It is good they are understanding the situation of developing countries.

Do India need full democracy?

Do India need full democracy?

Surprised to see 807 comments. It is not possible to read them all. The first question: do we need a farce called election? In my constituency there were two main parties for MP seat. One candidate was having 17 police cases and other 23 against him. Whom to vote? This is about our democracy. The other point is: History has shown again and again that country like ours can move economically up only with controlled democracy. This can be in form of one party rule. China is having 4 times per capita income as compared to India. This has not come free. One need to have discipline and become a cohesive force. This may mean sacrifice of some liberties! Whatever needed to be done to make India a cohesive force, needs to be done. Let it be authoritarian rule. In fact country like ours cannot progress without disciplined democracy. One may call it authoritarian rule. Election in India is simply fooling the people by alternate political parties!!!!! Where we stand after 70 years of full democracy? For India this is the only way. All others are talk of intelligent people fooling masses. Who need election except those politicians?

It is foolish to compare India's and China's population.

It is foolish to compare India's and China's population.

Good article:

It is not important if China's population is more or less of India.  It is 3 times India's size and 3 times per capita income as compared to India. What we should talk is where we stand? Is our standard of living of poor and medium class is good enough? The fact is it is not good. It is worsening day by day as more workmen are available for few jobs. Resources are scares and more of them have been cornered by few. Income of poor and rich is having biggest gap in the world. Our timid progress cannot improve living standard of people with this rate of population growth. India has to stabilize its population. If all Indians go for one child policy, it shall take 30 years and if 2 child policy, it shall take 60 years to stabilize the population. Are we ready for it? No...no....Politicians will never like it. Their education business, health business and cheap supply of manpower will be threatened. God bless India.

China's no-nonsense threat to India!

China's no-nonsense threat to India!

China cautioned India saying: " “China has no desire to confront India. Maintaining friendly ties with New Delhi is Beijing’s basic policy. But this must be based on mutual respect. It’s not time for India to display arrogance toward China. India’s GDP is only one-quarter of China’s and its annual defence budget is just one-third. Having a friendly relationship and cautiously handling border issues with China is its best choice,” ".  The first step of every Indians should to ask to our past and present leaders what they have say about this. Who is responsible for keeping India weak and poor? And what they are doing to move India fast economically?. They will not answer. They are stubborn. They will talk about poverty removal steps and sing song of Desh Bhakti. Poor and illiterate Indians will satisfy with this answer! The people are not worried till full freedom of democracy is available. Let country go to dog. Most of the intelligent shall see this China threat as an empty threat and brush aside. This is what they (e.g. Nehru etc) have done all these years and we know the result. We need "Authoritarian Democracy" i.e. limited democracy to progress! Are we ready?

China hints India not to become US pawn!!!

China hints India not to become US pawn!!!!

Modi's visit to US will not bring much. Nobody should expect much from this either on terrorism or economic front. China is right in saying we should not be pawn to US. China is saying this as it has grown from a poor country to a giant country by avoiding all odds and sticking to path they have chosen. The first task they did is unit the nation and make one country, one language, one voice. All opposed this were shown their place. India failed at this point it self not to mention about making any worthwhile further progress. We never ever got a true leader. Peace is good but it needs strength to keep peace. If India has to improve living standard, they have to choose the path chosen by China, more or less. Business shall never come by invitation. They go where opportunity is present. Finally they want to make profit at the end and not become a charity house! Modi has to take some radical steps, on social, political and economical fronts!!!
