I didn't know much about 1962 Indo-China war but for last many months China has been in my thoughts because of all the news it had been making globally and largely in India. Today I made effort to get some knowledge about 1962 war as I heard on a news channels about an Indian diplomat in USA making statement that India is no longer India of 1962 and today we are as strong as China. The statement itself clears my doubt that china was heavy on India in 1962 war.
Last time in Delhi,I read in Times of India about China's objection to Indian PMs Arunachal visit during elections there. Even sometimes back too, I saw a news about China's objection to Dalai lama and PMs visit to the area. Upcoming visit of Dalai lama has again been objected and after so many of these incidents of statements by Beijing I have been thinking if China is really getting too difficult for India.
India I have always been proud of because I have seen my country taking tough stand with United states on many issues and one was signing nuclear deal "mostly" on its own terms. Last month after China's display of its huge defence power that made world look at it in awe and same happened during Beijing Olympic. It was on a scale that never happened before and that time too whole world was in astonishment with its amazingly successful, grand Olympic show.
I was discussing with my cousin about China's growth as a world power and its strength in Asia and as threat to USA in terms of power. Its not about war of India & China, its more about being efficient and strong so that our quietness, humbleness or non violence route doesn't look weakness to our neighbors. I think it was NDTV where someone rightly said that India has been in state of denial for long as if nothing has happened and its reactions to China's objections had always been too soft as if we are too afraid.
Diplomats and politicians slept for ages and never solved real problems of border issues in Aksai Chin in Kashmir and Arunachal border. We never cared to make country's defence stronger and efficient. Defence analysts do believe that war like things won't happen in today's world where each country prospers only because of economic growth based on maximum available markets. India is a major market for Chinese goods and today more economic growth means more close to becoming a world power. Anyhow if war ever happens then India will lose so its best we wake up and work on our security and military power too. China owns military which is very large & modern and India stands nowhere on that front. Experts also came up with China's history of engulfing countries like Mongolia and others with almost wiping the entire population. left overs were forcefully converted to accept China's rule & Chinese transferred their own kind to those countries to make the acquired lands look like China. All this fact is very interesting. and also depressing.

I remember i saw and whole world saw on news channels about violence on Tibetans by Chinese police.
We have border issues to be solved in Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh but it doesn't look is things are going to improve so its best India improves upon its shortcomings so that its not looked upon as a week country where any one can come and threaten us. I love my country for its commitment to world peace and non violence approach but we citizens feel that we should be also in a position where no one takes us for granted. This only can be achieved by working on every aspect related to social, economic and defence structures.
India doesn't need to crouch, it has all the strength & roar of a Tiger to stun fire dragon.
