NEVER trust the Chinese

Are they going to return the occupied territories? Are they going to free Tibet? Are they going to stop supporting terrorists in the north-east? NEVER.

This is an inward looking attitude. Look outwards and try to calculate how much both of you can gain by being together. Settle your disputes. If China is not going to leave Tibet is India going to leave J&K?

Leave alone India, the whole world including US led NATO and even USSR could not do anything about Tibet even when they were powerful and when China was not as powerful as they are now. SO forget it now.

See what both of you can jointly accomplish.

China needs India more than the US needing India. That gives better bargaining power and share for controlling spheres. Pak will not go anywhere. WIth the current anti US feelings Pak has to go to China. If India is with CHina, China will well advise Pak to also be a joint partner with a smaller share. That will be a sustainable relationship. This understanding will be a natural one.

At the end of the day, how much ever England and French fight among themselves for centuries, the whitemen solidarity comes into effect when an outsider comes onto the scene.

By the same token, how much India & Pak may hate each other their old cultural bonding will come into effect and all the old wounds will disappear faster

why dont you see a better side of the stories. Sometimes we act like dumb indians and prove to the world that 8% growth is a mirage to the world
