Only thing which everyone seems to specialize in is having an expert opinion, blaming someone or the other for all the ills, and all this while sitting in our drawing rooms with a bottle of scotch.. <br /><br />Thanks for actually being there and doing some great reporting...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-84008336485197943912009-11-14T04:10:09.687-08:002009-11-14T04:10:09.687-08:00A very Informative post, Thank youA very Informative post, Thank youTejaswyhttp://www.tejaswy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-61126599458402974902009-11-14T00:33:52.895-08:002009-11-14T00:33:52.895-08:00I do hope we act on our promises to strengthen our...I do hope we act on our promises to strengthen our defences in Tawang, so that the people of West Kameng are even more confident of their trust that the Korea Brigade will always be there for them. <br /><br />If you ever have the time to write about what you think of the two additional mountain divisions for the North- East, and how effective you think they will be in deterring the dragon, I'd love to read the article.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540119915170902940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-15460249879456850582009-11-13T23:58:03.186-08:002009-11-13T23:58:03.186-08:00It's sad that Indians living in the mainland r...It's sad that Indians living in the mainland remember people from the North-East only when India is faced with a border crisis. If India fails to develop that region and to strengthen ties with the locals, the next generation of Monpas may change their minds and will not hesitate to declare themselves as Chinese. <br /><br />- NikhilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-10314802558921191272009-11-13T22:10:42.908-08:002009-11-13T22:10:42.908-08:00"Chinese scholars argue that the Monpas’ inte..."Chinese scholars argue that the Monpas’ interests would be better safeguarded with China, and that only the Monpas could decide their future."<br /><br />If this is the case, then let's ask the Tibetans in Tibet if they want to be a part of India or China.<br /><br />Isn't it convenient for China to accept the McMahon line where China likes the position of the line, and dispute it where the line is inconvenient to it's ideology? Why don't we discuss the position of the whole border?<br /><br />For example, why is Manasarovar, a holy lake to Hindus, under Chinese control? Isn't China happy to apply a historic precedent to all it's border claims? If that's the case, Manasarovar should be with India.<br /><br />And lastly, if China wants to arm Indian insurgents, what's stopping us from training and arming Tibetans to go fight the PRC?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
