Has China met a tough opponent
in India?
China occupied the Galvan Valley and thought that it will go unnoticed. Once the skirmish turned out to be too costly with five times the casualty on their side compared to India, China realised that India is too strong for them. India once again claimed its positions in the northern Banks of Pongong Tso in Ladakh upto Finger 4 and are well entrenched there, in a surprise move. China never expected India to surprise them with such moves.....
China has been bullying its neighbours and the
countries sharing its borders or across the sea and its animosity towards
Taiwan is well-known, claiming it as a part of China. Taiwan has been provoked
and tested over the years. Trying to teach Vietnam a lesson, the Chinese learnt
a bitter lesson and got a bloody nose. After that they're careful not to
provoke or interfere in Vietnam. Similarly they prodded and tested India over a
period of time to check its response and it's preparedness in sensitive areas
in different sectors on the India-China border from Ladakh to Arunachal
Pradesh.
Earlier the Chinese would cross LAC provoke the
Indian Army, get into skirmishes and then show that the Indians started it all
by entering their area. And they would get away with this till recently. All
this changed when a young Indian Major abused and punched a Chinese Officer in
one of the sectors in Arunachal Pradesh when the Chinese official claimed
Arunachal Pradesh was Chinese territory. The Chinese soon realised that the
mood has changed in India. Indians are fully prepared for any tit for tat
action. This surprised the Chinese planners. This had never happened earlier.
Indians in earlier years were in a defensive mode and mostly reactive to
Chinese moves. Now Indians are ready to give back the Chinese really hard. And
they very well know, Indians in an aggressive mode would be difficult for them
to handle. India has accused China of taking unilateral attempts to try and
alter the status quo in agreement with the bilateral agreements.
Zhang Shiuli, a PLA spokesperson for the region,
said, ‘The sovereignty over the Galvan Valley area has always belonged to
China.’ Similarly, Zhao was using language not generally heard in diplomatic
circles, blaming the Indian army for its ‘adventurous acts’ that breached ‘basic
norms governing international relations.’ He also demanded that India ‘strictly
discipline’ and ‘severely punish’ its troops. All these outbursts happened
after the 15 June exchange between India and China. Galvan incident showed the
Chinese what Indians are capable of and the damage the army can inflict on
their forces.
On July, 3rd, after Modi visited Ladakh border
area, and while giving a speech in Leh admonished China for its expansionist
policies stating ‘The age of expansionism is over and this is the age of
development. History knows that expansionist forces have either lost or were
forced to turn back.’ The reaction of China changed completely. The whole
morning China remained silent, but in the afternoon Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson
Zhao Lijian said, ‘India and China are in communication and negotiations on
lowering the temperatures through military and diplomatic channels. No party
should engage in any action that may escalate the situation at this point.’
China became too mellowed down. China never expected Modi to be so hard hitting
on them. This turn around clearly indicate that China has become too defensive
and find India harder than expected.
China occupied the Galvan Valley and thought that it will go unnoticed.
Once the skirmish turned out to be too costly with five times the casualty on
their side compared to India, China realised that India is too strong for them.
India once again claimed its positions in the northern Banks of Pongong Tso in
Ladakh upto Finger 4 and are well entrenched there, in a surprise move. China
never expected India to surprise them with such moves. China is certainly
finding India a tough game. Indian Army accuses Chinese PLA of violating
protocols.
India is confronting China diplomatically,
economically and militarily. India has already banned 119 Chinese Apps. Also
has given a clarion call to be vocal for local products. China is losing
economically too. China also has been seeing many nations including US and
Russia, supporting India, against them. China knows in the event of a war it
may have to contend with multiple countries and multiple theaters. Hence China
has found India to be a hard nut to crack. Do not want to face the fate PLA had
to undergo with its fight against Vietnam in 1979. China has realised India to
be too strong for them. They are different from the smaller countries in its
neighbourhood.
Did the Indian Army capture Chinese PLA camps in
the Pangong Tso area as mentioned in some reports? The high area is also known as blacktop where
initially China had installed cameras for observing India's activities. Though
it was not captured officially by China but Indian army gathered information that
Chinese army is planning to install a permanent base here so Indian army
captured this high point and threw all Chinese installed equipment's.
Officially it was part of Indian Territory but
China claimed this as their side of LAC, which is not even actual border as it
is occupied by China since 1962 war. Chinese soldiers tried to capture this
back but Indian army deployed there pushed them back. China is nervous and has deployed its T-15
lightweight tanks pointing at the Indian army on this blacktop. In retaliation
India has deployed its Bhishma T-90 Tanks aiming at the China forces. Any
untoward incident could flare up into a full scale war.
But it is very clear that after military attempts
to recapture this point and two failures has made the Chinese very nervous.
Also this first proactive step by India against China was beyond Chinese
imagination or anticipation and a complete surprise for China. They never
expected India to take a proactive action. And are now realizing their earlier
policy of needling India in different sectors may well have the opposite
reaction, of literally provoking the Indian army who could react and cause
large scale damage to men and machinery, as Indian forces are well deployed
with adequate men, equipment and weapons. Any Chinese intrusion or adventure
will not be tolerated.
The Chinese have also realized arm twisting India
won't work anymore. They're aware India can damage their interests, commerce
and business even without fighting a war. This Diwali proved that. The boycott
of Chinese products hit them hard. They also know if they provoke or harass
India, they too can do the same and screw them in Indian Ocean, their life line.
And their think tanks are also slowly realizing a friendly India is better for
their growth and progress rather than antagonize India and pay the price with
loss in trade and commerce, besides hurting them militarily and diplomatically
too. Ideally maintaining status quo will suit them.

Urban
makeover!
Many traditional houses underwent an urban makeover
in the mid-2000s, which meant giving away some old things bought with love from
meager savings after a great deal of searching and some items from your native
place to remind about your roots.
Over time, the things have drastically changed. In
the kitchen, the steel dabbas made way for airtight glass jars and Tupperware
bowls and steel plates were restricted to family only meals. The utility heavy
Godrej steel cupboards brought earlier with pride were junked for being too
big. In its place, came the designer, delicate modern style plywood wardrobes
and cupboards. In place of teak wood polished furniture, you have plush and
bulky sofas.
Even the otherwise dhoti or pyjama wearing
grandfather had a makeover and slipped on to some shorts, three-fourths and a
T-shirt. But, despite these changes the mind stayed put, reminding one of the
old traditions and the earlier days when life meant tradition, comfort and
utility. Now the old comfort wear overtaken by modern fashion, new style, look
and modernity. Earlier one got a feel of coziness at home, but now even the own
home is more like a hotel room!
