It is very interesting to hear the comments of Chinese newly
elected Premier in front of the Indian youth delegation visiting China in which he emphasized the need to shake
hands with India . He said that his comments are based on the
experience he gained when he visited India about 15 years ago. The warmth and true hospitality he received
while in India
those days contributed a lot in expressing this opinion. However, somehow this writer is not impressed
by his gestures because of what happened in 1962 is still alive in the mind of
this writer, and for that matter India should not forget that incident that
easily too. On the one hand, Mr. Li is
proposing a friendly relationship with India
while on the other hand, Chinese military outfit is exerting all efforts to
encircle India
from all sides. The latest incident is
deployment of Chinese forces in the Daulat Beg, Ladakh area. Firstly, China
denied existence of any of its forces in Daulat Beg area and then after a
comprehensive and intensive dialogue between India
and China , the Chinese
agreed to withdraw its forces from that part of India . It is, therefore, of utmost importance for India to be more watchful while making any
agreement with China . India needs to play a hardball with China and
ought not to sign any agreement or come to any understanding unless China first
shows a sincere effort towards establishing friendly relations and it can
encompass vacating Indian occupied territory, eliminating its hegemonic
attitude in the South and East China sea area etc. INDIA IS NOT THE SAME INDIA AS IT WAS IN
1962, AND I AM SURE CHINA HAS REALIZED IT, SO INDIA OUGHT TO PLAY ITS CARDS
RIGHT.
