While the author of this article has tried to highlight the fact that India's outlook and preparedness towards China has softened, specially more during AB Vajpayee's time and that his government didnot do anything and that present ministers are being very bold by making a few statements, the author seems to have forgotten how George Fernandes had openly proclaimed that China was the No. 1 enemy of India, that too at time when China was trying to speak very softly and serenely. All the missile development programs of Agni category are specifically targetted towards China. Today, Indian army is much stronger in the hilly and jungle areas, given that they have been recently training US & UK soldiers on jungle warfare. The only think which would need strengthening is Infrastructure development in all the border areas. India knows very well that the soft spoken chinese are far more dangerous than the rable-rousing pakistani establishment. China will never let go their attempts to totally acquire Arunachal Pradesh and have total control on Tibet. They will resort to any tacit means to do that.

if the indian army goes to take on the might of china with the sort of euphoria blurted out by u, they will get whipped royally. with no disrespect to the indian army, a military solution shud b the last option in self-defence when china is the aggressor.
