People should not write articles about foreign countries if they seem to have so little knowledge of the internal politics of those countries.
Mr. Srinivasan writes "I'm afraid history is repeating itself. Once again, China has a clear plan: to remove the next buffer state. It may be remembered that China considers Bhutan, Nepal and Sikkim, as well as Arunachal Pradesh and parts of Uttar Pradesh as their rightful due, because at some distant point in the past, Tibetans had some religious tutelary rights in these areas. Han Chinese are into land-grab..."
Did Mr. Srinivasan not recollect the fact that Sikkim was an independent nation that was "landgrabed" by India????
Furthermore, in his later paragraphs this is what he write : "Thus we can expect Nepal to disappear into China's maw unless India takes action......."
Does his whole column mean that if we dont "landgrab" Nepal quickly, then China will do so??? Is this what you mean Mr. Srinivasan????
