Its interesting to find so many reactions from our fellow countrymen. This shows your concerns for Arunachal, and atleast you have thought about it. For all my brothers, sisters and friends of India I just wanted to ask you a question. I am from Arunachal, I love Arunachal and I love India. And I know most people in Arunachal feel the same. I grew up with the Hindi movies, singing the songs of Kishore Kumar & Rafi; I grew up reading the history and geography of India, I grew up dreaming of touring around India. I grew up listening to Vande Mataram in early morning tv and singing Jana Gana Mana in the Assembly in school. I was taught to pledge all Indians as my brothers and sisters, I started the school assembly with Sahana Bhavatu. I was taught by the teachers from Himachal,Bengal,UP,Bihar, Andhra down till Kerala and Tamil Nadu. I may look like a chinese or japanese or a vietnamese, but I have always felt being part and still does. So I want to ask you what should I do? what if tomorrow (God forbid!) Tawang or Arunachal becomes part of China, how can I change my heart; how can I unlearn all the things I have learnt and how can I make myself to think I am chinese and not Indian?

God bless you my fellow Indian ( Arunachalee ) , I had noticed taht there were no responses to your comment , you see this is not CRICKET and hence not important or your features make us believe you are a non-Indian. Then again if we beleived in "Anekta mein Ekta " then we are termed as pseudo secularist .But look at the way these pseudo secularist hiding their necks like Ostrich .

even if tomorrow (god forbid) tawang or arunachal becomes part of china - you can always stay back in India - we at least I very much consider Arunachal as part of India and if this happens, we can openly boycott this political decision - Arunachalees can boycott that don't want to join China - and others can boycott where ever possible and I'll join you in this without any doubt

Dear Brother & Sister of Arunachal Pradesh
My Self Piyush Mody from Mumbai has already send mail in last 12 months to more than 500 friends and colleagues when Chinese ambassador to India has barked that Arunachal belongs to china. All indians were shocked that not a single minister and only Pranab replied to china that Arunachal belongs to India. Pl Note there is no question of handing over 1 cm land to china. Rest depends upon foolish ministers seating in parliament who has weak hearts to take every decision. I cant understand that ISRAEL who is surrounded by 20 enemies gives tit for tat reply and India only between 2. well we all respect and has faith in our Armed forces who is guarding Boders.I have read as many as 100 articles from google that china strategic thinkers asking beijing to get more tough on India to handover Tawang and if needed Kargil like conflict let haapen and give Bloody punch to Indians and there military if got oppurtunity. teach lesson to india that they cannot compare china on Military/Economics growth. Everything then depends now upon what strategy India will apply now we are confident on Indian Air force.but final decision depends upon Government Leaders if they have National Interest. Left parties are chinese agents every Indians know.we will spread message across india on awareness so that govt will not take any wrong decisions. Bharat Maata Ki Jay.
