History is littered with wars everybody thought would never happen!

While watching the 60th year celebrations of the Chinese Republic and the subsequent provocations of China viz. a viz. her border disputes with India, I was struck with these lines. We as a nation have gone into a massive amnesia when confroning China. We have completely obliterated the insult of the 1962 aggression from our psyche and the subsequent occupation of the Indian territory.

If we think that we can humor the Chinese by our mumbo jumbo of Ahimsa and world peace, I guess we are definitely living in a fool's paradise ! They are a very ruthless society , who did not hesitate to slaughter thier own young ones for the larger interests of thier nation, in case we have forgotten the bloodbath carried out at the Tian an Mein square. I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that China will eventually use it's military power against India. When and how is just a matter of detail.

What is our preparedness? This is the part that will definitely send chills down our spines. The Chinese test our patience by staking thier claim on Arunachal Pradesh, without doubt an integral part of India , and , what does our establishment do? We hold press conferences in some dimly lit room of the South block , addressed by a Sarkari nominee, that Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India. Wow! What a revelation! Are these guys talking to themselves? Is this the protocol to carry out international diplomacy? And we have given our whole foreign policy drafting in their incompetent hands !

What does the political establishment do? Our nominated P.M. throws his angry fist in the air and reaffirms to the nation that Arunachal Pradesh is an integral part of India. Another reaffirmation from a gentleman! What more can we stupid indians expect from an honourable person? Anyway, Is China listening? They couldn't care less. I can literally see then laughing their pants off in Beijing on this comedy show of international diplomacy by the cretins of the present government establishment. But no, no , the story is not yet over ! More to come from our appointed P.M. He has very valiantly flown to the U. S and he has managed to somehow get the shoulder of the almighty Mr. Barak Obama to lean on and cry foul about the misdeeds of China. It's another matter that the American economy has got so interwoven with the Chinese economy that Mr. Obama could hardly raise voice about American interests , leave apart advocating some leniency on India!

We may delude ourselves into thinking that everything is hunky dowry between India and China, but the glaring truth is that China considers us as an adversary. The sooner we realise and get onto a preparatory mode to neutralise any overt or covert threat from China the better it will be for our health and survival as a nation. We have already paid a heavy price for misjudging China in 1962 , under the 'brilliant' leadership of Mr. Nehru. Sadly, even today, it is his progeny at the helm of the affairs and the same ostrich attitude remains the guiding principle of a lost nation.

It is one thing to be impressed by the colourful pictures of an overtly aggresive neighbour, quite another to analyse the threat it poses to us as a nation.A eunuchoid leadership, a kleptocratic governence, a pseudo moralistic philosophy and a pussilanimous attitude : quite a recipe for disaster!

Those who don't learn from history are condemned to repeat it. I sound paranoid? Let time answer that question.... ......
