India's Tibet Policy
by Khandu Patel on Mar 19, 2008 02:09 PM   Permalink

For all India's claim for great power status let alone a super power, nothing reveals India as a wimp more than its Tibetan policy, or should I say lack of policy? When the British ruled Tibet, it was all but British but in name. British Post Offices operated in Tibet. China might have had a historical association with it as one of its former conquests, but they did not labour the point with the super power of the day. Its claim to Tibet was as its outlandish as its claim on Arunchal Pradesh which India is meekly negotiating China's claim. That says it all for India's pathetic administrations. To make matters worse India's nationalists in the BJP conceded China's claim. India's leaders are not fit for the purpose. I ask what has India actually achieved in foreign policy with independence. Precious little except that it produced small people whose sole aim has been their vanity in strutting the world stage. Its about time we had military rule in India. That the Chinese and the Pakistani's really understand. Lets have less of this nonesense about India as the world's greatest demoncracy. i would settle any for China's brutal method because they work for their country's interests. Is India's military listening or is it sleeping on the job?
