I learnt a lot from this article. One question though -> Raman says that ABV Govt diluted SSB role. I am perplexed and surprised how that hapened. I remember George Fernandes is the only defence minister who openly declared that 'China is our enemy number one'! and with such strong opinion how he would have allowed SSB to go to home ministry? Why did they not create another force to tackle 'Nepal border' issues? Strang it sounds and looks or did erudite Raman slipped on this one?
Time ahs come when al Indians have to force all Corporates like Bharti/Tatas/Reliance/Guj Ambuja that stop paying taxes now till Govt take harsh steps against Pakistan and tell on face to china that Arunachal & Tawang forget or face consequences. Corporates need to come front now and defence need to involve in Foreign Policies
Its interesting to find so many reactions from our fellow countrymen. This shows your concerns for Arunachal, and atleast you have thought about it. For all my brothers, sisters and friends of India I just wanted to ask you a question. I am from Arunachal, I love Arunachal and I love India. And I know most people in Arunachal feel the same. I grew up with the Hindi movies, singing the songs of Kishore Kumar & Rafi; I grew up reading the history and geography of India, I grew up dreaming of touring around India. I grew up listening to Vande Mataram in early morning tv and singing Jana Gana Mana in the Assembly in school. I was taught to pledge all Indians as my brothers and sisters, I started the school assembly with Sahana Bhavatu. I was taught by the teachers from Himachal,Bengal,UP,Bihar, Andhra down till Kerala and Tamil Nadu. I may look like a chinese or japanese or a vietnamese, but I have always felt being part and still does. So I want to ask you what should I do? what if tomorrow (God forbid!) Tawang or Arunachal becomes part of China, how can I change my heart; how can I unlearn all the things I have learnt and how can I make myself to think I am chinese and not Indian?

God bless you my fellow Indian ( Arunachalee ) , I had noticed taht there were no responses to your comment , you see this is not CRICKET and hence not important or your features make us believe you are a non-Indian. Then again if we beleived in "Anekta mein Ekta " then we are termed as pseudo secularist .But look at the way these pseudo secularist hiding their necks like Ostrich .

even if tomorrow (god forbid) tawang or arunachal becomes part of china - you can always stay back in India - we at least I very much consider Arunachal as part of India and if this happens, we can openly boycott this political decision - Arunachalees can boycott that don't want to join China - and others can boycott where ever possible and I'll join you in this without any doubt

Dear Brother & Sister of Arunachal Pradesh
My Self Piyush Mody from Mumbai has already send mail in last 12 months to more than 500 friends and colleagues when Chinese ambassador to India has barked that Arunachal belongs to china. All indians were shocked that not a single minister and only Pranab replied to china that Arunachal belongs to India. Pl Note there is no question of handing over 1 cm land to china. Rest depends upon foolish ministers seating in parliament who has weak hearts to take every decision. I cant understand that ISRAEL who is surrounded by 20 enemies gives tit for tat reply and India only between 2. well we all respect and has faith in our Armed forces who is guarding Boders.I have read as many as 100 articles from google that china strategic thinkers asking beijing to get more tough on India to handover Tawang and if needed Kargil like conflict let haapen and give Bloody punch to Indians and there military if got oppurtunity. teach lesson to india that they cannot compare china on Military/Economics growth. Everything then depends now upon what strategy India will apply now we are confident on Indian Air force.but final decision depends upon Government Leaders if they have National Interest. Left parties are chinese agents every Indians know.we will spread message across india on awareness so that govt will not take any wrong decisions. Bharat Maata Ki Jay.

there is more for you but its enough for you to fell safe .and i this era of economy china will never make a mistake like this.....both countries are in their full-fledge..both in-terms of army and economy. a bit of fire
China is a bully, and India is a weak country, made impotent by its corrupt (politicians, government employees, police, judiciary, business people, and even its citizens - no wonder it appears high on the list of corrupt countries). India is a LOOSE NATION of selfish individuals. Nobody really cares. I would not be surprised if China and Pakistan grab more of Indian land, and our GREAT LEADERS AND POLITICIANS would still be wondering on how to enlist support from the US and other countries and make them fight our battles with China and Pakistan.

one true and logical opinion, thanks for sharing, hopefully sum deaf ears at the echelon of powers would listen and act upon them.
i think, India should accept Chinese demands. we cant fight them. accept their 'lorship' and buy peace. and concentrate efforts on Pakistan n Bangladesh.

no that's the mainstream attitude of the majority of selfish indians, don't you see ? They are only obsessed with Pakistan and Bangladesh only. Nothing else they will be least bothered about. If your brothers and sisters in Arunachal or mizoram or whereever face hardships what is it to these selfish cowardly Indians ? All they want is to abandon their country and migrate to any white man's land that can accomodate this filth of a people and clean their asses for a few dollars. All they care about is aggrandizing money and being greedy and showing off against their own brethern who have not been so fortunate translate 'shameless' as them. It's the same attitude with the politicians and bearucrats or business men. After all they are a product of such a race of vermin. what can you expect ? And they blame their politicians etc.. for the state of affairs. But how selfish and uncaring pest are you ? Millions of you worms crawling all over without any selfesteem, pride in race or religion, always slavishly searching for strength in numbers, weak, cowardly, honourless, uncaring for a fellow indian, (look at the way they crowd into buses pushing even elderly people out of their way ; see how they behave when they have to stand in a queue. See their behaviour towards the peasants, the labourers and other poor folk who are their own countrymen and their own flesh and blood ? peices of shits they are ever ready to lick the white man's boot. They will sell their country and drink white

Continued from above.. ( bite me red_iff) man's liquids if they could earn a few coins out of that. I have travelled the world over and am yet to see a race that is so thoughtless, callous and absolutely devoid of the faintest idea of what 'self esteem' means. Naturally these Indian vermins are considered the lowest specimens of human beings by the western standpoint and they look upon them with great contempt and their pecking order is at the very bottom amongst the races of the world. They get the least amount of respect, I have observed amongst all races. But unbelievably these filthy brains don't even realize even when they are being shown straight contempt. They can never get their heads out of their arses and from counting their dollars. Oh the slavery of these minds ! Oh Lord, consort of Uma , vouchsafe some self respect and pride onto these filth of the earth , please.
I am a Hindu who is proud of the many great things acheived by my ancestors and god willing want to align with right thinking and like minded truly patriotic Indians to acheive much greater things for India in the future in such ways as to command the world's respect instead of begging them to give you a life and provide you with a yardstick of self worth. Ofcourse they have to give meaning and worth to your life and the opinion and feelings of your fellow countrymen is insignificant to these so called modern day Indians. You fools ! Do you think America and Europe have gotten to where they are by

Ultimately, its people who will decide. As in people from AP will decide. If we want AP to stay with india, then we got to respect 'their' culture (different from the ours). And bring them into mainstream. You cannot have the attitude of 'those flat-nose chinkis' and expect AP to be part of india? Remember they are of mongolian race and look chinese.

India is a multi ethnic, multi cultural country - i dont understand what you mean by AP's culture vis-a-vis "OURS" - call it "YOURS" please. Your culture could as well be very different from that of your neighbouring state & absolute alien 2 states hence. Since when has CHINA become the Guardian of the MONGOLOID RACE. That way let Kashmir go to Afghanistan (historical legacy), Punjab & Kutch (in Gujarat) to Pakistan, Tamil Nadu to Srilanka (they look lot alike), West Bengal to Bangladesh & that is it - END OF INDIA. Please have respect for the other's sentiment before you speak on racialially sensitive issues. For your information, HINDI is the spoken language at TAWANG & not any "TRIBAL/MONGOLOID/CHINESE" language. LONG LIVE ARUNACHAL PRADESH, LONG LIVE INDIA - JAI HIND.
