Disagree with Bhadrakumar
by N M on Apr 18, 2008 07:22 AM

I completely disagree with former Ambassador Bhadrakumar on his comment that we should not front-load a complex relationship. I think we ought to balance as the front-load is taken by China when they say that Arunanchal is their territory. We always give a muted response & try to please them by not voicing our genuine concerns regarding Tibet.
This makes the relationship much more complex & imbalanced. The quiet passage of the torch gives China an impression of how much are Indians willing to bend backwards to accommodate Chinese concerns which emboldens them further.

I wish we had some assertive/brave statesmen politicians who could call a spade a spade.
