Pakistan and China do not think for a second to hurt India. Their foreign policies are built on anti-India foundation. So, why should we worry about these countries?
As it is, we don't have any strong friendship with these stupid countries. The friendship is only on the surface. Inside our heart, we anyway treat each other as enemies. Whay all this farce? Let us be openly enemies. It takes two people to be good friends. One-sided love never succeeds, we have seen enough movies on this.

PLZ DO NOT SAY ANTI CHINESE , THEY HAVE NOT DONT ANYTHING WRONG TO US, IF 2 FRIENDS FIGHT WE NEED TO GET THEM TOGEATHER, NOT FIGHT WITH ONE AND SUPPORT OTHER
Our Foreign Policy towards our neighbours has been a true reflection of our weak, passive and ineffective political will and comprehension of International affairs where power and strength and not Gandhian non-violence is the fundamental determinant of a Nation's influence in World Affairs.Over 50 years of incomprehensible neglect and incredibly incompetent foreign policy has not only created inimical neighbours but have allowed us to be fully and comprehensively surrounded by China and its allies and defeated by it in all possible areas-Military, economic, political and diplomatic.Today the entire Western World claiming to be the Champions of Democracy and Human Rights stand exposed for adopting double standards by not even raising an eyebrow leave alone condemning Chinese Genocide of peaceloving non-violent Tibetans and plunder and loot of their rich natural resources.For India Tibet is of unlimited strategic importance as it controls the glaciers which feed our rivers thus beung the very lifeline of the Nation apart from being of military significance in providing security. Therefore peace and stability in Tibet is of vital importance to us.This can only be achieved through a political settlement with the Tibetans which has to include the Dalai Lama and meet the legitimate demand of an autonomous state.India has absolutely no choice but to get actively involved in such a process to preserve its own National interests. Otherwise we'll be burdened not only with a huge mass o

You cannot be more than 100% right,Mr Raizada.The world ,as we see today, is a creation of happenstance and militray might;and not the spiritual evolution what Aurobindo had predicted.That is a lon way to go! If India takes a principled stand for guarantee of Tibetan human rights(the same stand we take for minorities and marginal people in India),India will gain enoromously in real politik and in moral high ground. The only weakness is our corruptibility:any China-Pakistan military adventure will surely take our Govt and the Generals by surprise as shown by Kargil incident.
NEHRU was the only reason FOR indo-china war at 1962.

Was it not Advani who went to Pakistan and sang praises for Jinnah? Advani is irrelevant and so is the BJP. They are outdated and so is their right wing philosophy. Rediff, i hope you can use this space for better articles.

strange u muslim fanatics , always search for oppurtunity to criticize BJP, how is this article related to BJP.
Under the present system and governance, India's external affair ministery and foreign policy is non existant, than how can we expect our ministers who do not have guts to talk and balance their act to even have a positive and balance thought on the sensitive issues like this
There are both objective and subjective factors. Judging from the present conditions, it seems that the subjective factors are prevailing, and the resistance is mainly from the Indian side.
Why am I saying so? Because on the Indian side there still are a considerable number of officials, soldiers and think tanks who have not walked out of the shadow of the 1962 war. Many of them adhere, consciously or unconsciously, to the strategic perception of security prevailing in old times, and count China as a threat or a potential adversary. Given such a psychology, how can they expect to further develop Sino-India relations?
But I don't complain about them, because the majority of them were also misled in the past. I believe that, with increasing mutual exchanges, the day will come when they will realise that China is a true friend and brother of India. Now the challenge facing us is, how effectively will far-sighted statesmen and those of insight make public the truth of the 1962 war?
Let that day come earlier. On the day when Sino-India misunderstanding is thoroughly dispersed, an era for in-depth Sino-India co-operation will come.
Wang Hongwei is professor of South Asia regional studies at the Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and adviser to the Chinese Association for South Asian Studies. He is the author of several books, including The Himalayas Sentiment: A Study of Sino-Indian Relations (1998) and The Present Situation and F
Thanks to the late Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi's historic visit to China in 1988, Sino-India relations have gradually regained normalcy. During Indian prime minister P V Narasimha Rao's visit to China in 1993, both sides signed the Agreement on Maintenance of Peace and Tranquillity along the Line of Actual Control in the China-India Border Areas.
In 1996, a further agreement on "confidence-building measures in the military field along the LAC" was signed during President Jiang Zemin's visit to India. All these demonstrated that the two governments had become far-sighted and mature. This is the very reason why Sino-India relations developed smoothly and quickly on the whole during the last more than 10 years, though it took an unexpected turn in 1998.
But we should not sit back. It should be noted that, in terms of populations, sizes, economic scales, and the roles played in the contemporary world by China and India, the co-operation between them is far from what it should be.
What has obstructed Sino-India relations from developing in depth and giving full play to the potential of both?

Wake up!Put your Nehruvian hidichini bhai bhai in trash can where it belongs.Nothing against Chinese people as such.They are OK.But PRC is something else.Its a menacing monster created by Mao and Chou Enlai and run by fascist like Hu Jintao.India should terminate all relation and cooperation with Nazi PRC.Recognize Taiwan. Derecognize Tibet as TAR of PRC.And yes,jail the commy traitors like Sitaram and sign civilian nuclear agreement with Uncle Sam - our true friend and ally.Forget Putins Russia as well.
