During my recent conversation with a Chinese I said that many in India believe that India should have intervened in Tibet, for which the reply fumingly was: there would have been a definite war. He has a reason for such statement: Chinese have militarily intervened all around their territory when it came to their national interests. Surprisingly, we Indians have been acting in a manner throughout our post-independence history, that can be best be described as "cowardice". Mr. Rajeev although puts the blame at China's doors, there is no conclusive evidence for the same. How come anybody and everybody (US included) in this region are not pointing this and only Mr.Srinivasan gets this information from somewhere based on which he has built the whole story. While it is well known that North Korean nuclear technology was first overtly transferred by Russia during the cold war and many North Koreans are educated and continue to be educated in Russia. The rationale behind the transfer ofcourse was since US spoke its mind on using nuclear weapons to conclude the Korean war. North Koreans might have only improved upon it. And there is this element of doubt about the test itself.
